If you shine five wavelengths (630 nm, 660 nm, 810 nm, 830 nm, and 850 nm) on the target treatment area simultaneously, something incredible happens: the longer wavelengths amplify the effects of the shorter wavelengths. Red light therapy is an emerging method of treating an almost infinite array of physical and mental health conditions and concerns. Its revolutionary healing properties and health benefits are increasingly recognized as successful in a wide range of applications including:

Red light is best suited for treating skin conditions, mild inflammation, and accelerating surface wound healing. There are no adverse side effects to short red light. It cannot burn your skin or damage any underlying body tissues. Dear Joan, while red light therapy is generally considered safe with pacemakers, you should seek medical advice before using it to ensure there are no risks of interference or other complications. When we are stressed or ill, mitochondria begin to produce excess nitric oxide. This is problematic because nitric oxide interferes with the consumption of oxygen within cells, which can lead to oxidative stress, and ultimately, cease the production of ATP. Affected cells may die as a result.

Compression Wraps — Compression wraps are made to treat issues of specific body parts such as elbows, knees, ankles, overall arms, or legs.

This is the entire core concept of Red/NIR Light Therapy: Emitting the ratio of different wavelengths of light according to what is actually being absorbed by your body in this exact ratio. This is what only PlatinumLED delivers. Our devices have 0 EMF at 6 inches, and red light therapy in general doesn't produce enough heat to affect pacemakers. Your personal goals and the severity of the condition(s) you wish to treat will dictate which wavelengths are best for you. For example, red light at 630 or 660 nm or a combination of red light and NIR light at 830 nm might be appropriate for someone who hopes to improve general skin health or treat mild acne. A higher-range NIR level (800 to 850 nm) might be a better option for someone treating a more serious condition or focusing on deep tissue and joint health.Near-Infrared light occupies the area of the spectrum between short red and infrared light. It is somewhat of a “gray area” in the world of red light but is found to be extremely useful for therapeutic purposes. The epidermis, or the outermost part of the skin, provides a waterproof protective barrier for the body. This layer of skin is composed of four or five layers of epithelial cells. You could start with shorter red light therapy sessions of just a few minutes a day, gradually working up to 10- to 20-minute sessions three to five times a week. Since blue light kills bacteria in skin tissue, blue light therapy is a popular acne treatment. The regular use of computers, smartphones, and other electronics can be a concern, but therapeutic blue light is a different story. Emitting wavelength ratios that are in proportion to what is actually being absorbed by the body is the entire cornerstone of advanced multi-spectrum emission, and one that PlatinumLED has mastered over its 12+ years studying RLT and its therapeutic benefits.
