Red light is one of the wavelengths of sunlight (around 660 nm), and near-infrared light is invisible light (around 850 nm). A red light device emits red and near-infrared light at close range and may even affect the body at a cellular level.

The effects are based on the fact that most wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet and blue light, do not penetrate deeper than the surface layers of the skin but are absorbed there. Red light and near-infrared light, on the other hand, penetrate deeper into the skin layers and can reach the mitochondria of cells, which are responsible for cellular respiration.

In international studies using red light devices, cellular energy production (ATP) has been shown to activate as cells receive more energy, improving overall body function. Red light devices are not medical devices. Although there are several scientific studies on the effects of red light, the devices are not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of diseases, and the studies do not specifically concern Innolux devices. Use is based on general wellness purposes, not medical use. In case of uncertainty, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional.

Are you wondering what the difference is between bright light, red light, and dawn simulation lights, and which would be the best choice for you? For many people, these terms sound somewhat familiar, but the devices have different purposes.

Red light and near-infrared therapy have been studied in thousands of research papers, and their effects have been tested in both animals and humans. Scientific articles contain numerous examples of how red light or near-infrared light may protect cellular function and enhance cellular energy metabolism.

International studies have shown results such as:

• Improved skin condition
  
• Faster healing of scars
  
• Increased collagen production
  
• Hair growth
  
• Improved muscle performance during exercise
  
• Faster muscle recovery after physical activity
  

Red light devices are not medical devices.

Use is based on general wellness purposes, not medical use. In case of uncertainty, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional.

• Usage time: 2–15 min
• Distance: approx. 15–30 cm
• Use: about 5–7 times per week
• Use on bare skin

The device is directed at the desired treatment area. It can be used with or without eye protection. No proven harmful effects have been observed from an “overdose” of red light, but if the recommended usage time is exceeded, the benefits of the light therapy may be reduced or reset. The device does not emit harmful UV radiation or excess heat.
