Learn the basics of red light therapy

The power of your mitochondria

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells. They convert oxygen and nutrients into ATP, the fuel your body uses for repair, performance, and vitality.

Red light therapy stimulates these mitochondria. The light is absorbed by the cell and helps to increase energy production. This gives your cells more power to recover and function optimally.

The result: more energy, faster muscle recovery, and support for inflammatory processes and joint complaints.

Spectrum render

What are wavelengths (nanometer)?

Wavelengths indicate how long a light wave is and determine how deeply light penetrates the body and what effect it has. Shorter wavelengths (480, 630, 660nm) mainly affect the skin, while longer wavelengths (810, 830, 850, 940, 1060nm) penetrate deeper and reach muscles and joints. By combining different wavelengths, you achieve both superficial and deep effects.

Red light vs near-infrared light

  • Red light: Visible to the human eye, red light typically ranges from 600 to 700 nm and is most effective on the surface of the skin. It is often used to support skin appearance and natural recovery processes.
  • Near-infrared light: Invisible to the human eye, near-infrared light typically ranges from 700 to 1200 nm and can penetrate deeper into the body, supporting muscles, joints and deeper tissues.

How did the interest in RLT arise?

In 1967, Hungarian doctor Endre Mester accidentally discovered that laser light promoted hair growth and wound healing in rats. This laid the foundation for red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation.

In the 1990s, NASA experimented with red LED lamps to improve plant growth in space. They found that this light also helped with wound healing and recovery. As a result, red light was further studied for medical applications, such as preventing muscle loss and delayed healing during space missions.

Although RLT is becoming increasingly popular as a treatment for pain and skin improvement, additional research is needed to fully confirm all health claims.

More ATP for better cellular function

Red light therapy and near infrared light stimulate the mitochondria in our cells. This increases the production of ATP, the primary energy source of the body.

More ATP gives cells more energy to function efficiently. This supports better cellular activity, repair and recovery throughout the body.

Frequently asked questions

Simply put, red light is visible to the naked eye and penetrates a few millimeters into your skin. Infrared light, on the other hand, is invisible and reaches deeper layers of the body, even into muscles and joints. Both types work together to support a wide range of biological processes. Want to know more? Read our blog: “infrared or red light? What is the difference?”.

Scientific literature shows that RLT is known under various names, including:

  • low-level light therapy (LLLT)
  • soft laser therapy
  • biostimulation
  • cold laser therapy
  • photon stimulation

There has been little research on red light therapy during pregnancy. One study with 380 pregnant women showed that it was safe for both mother and fetus. However, it is advised that pregnant women consult a doctor before starting light therapy.

In general, red light therapy is safe, but always follow the instructions for use. High light intensities and prolonged use can cause skin redness and other symptoms.

Do not use light panels if you are taking medication that makes your skin or eyes more sensitive. Talk to your doctor if you have had skin cancer or an eye disease before starting red light therapy.

We recommend treating one body part per day. Treating multiple body parts in one day is possible.

The pulse function in red light therapy panels flashes the light on and off at a specific frequency. Research has shown that this can lead to deeper penetration, better stimulation of cell activity, less heat generation, and more targeted therapy, depending on the chosen frequency. It offers additional options for a personalized treatment.

Yes, all Liroma panels have a timer to set the correct treatment time.
