Question 1

Does Red & Infrared Light Therapy Work Through Clothes?

Yes and no. Red Light therapy does not penetrate through clothing or bandages as it visible to the eye. However near infrared light, which is invisible to the eye, will penetrate through clothes and many bandages and dressings.

Question 2

What is Red Light Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Infrared and red light is an innovative therapy that has been trialed clinically for the management of patients with acute or chronic pain and many other conditions. Essentially the therapy uses two particular wavelengths of light that are delivered to sites of the body that require healing. Infrared and red light therapy provides power to your cells by creating ATP. A light therapy device like an Infraredi device delivers red & near infrared wavelengths directly to your body with LEDs. These wavelengths of light are “bioactive” in humans. Which means these types of light have a positive affect on the function of our mitochondria. Essentially providing a boost of energy production and regeneration.

Question 4

What Is The Difference Between Red Light & Infrared Light Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Near infrared light is 850nm and is invisible to the human eye. It penetrates deeper into tissue, leading to increased muscle recovery, reduced joint pain and energy production.
