Light Penetration and Red Light Therapy

A lot of people carry heavy skepticism towards Red Light Therapy panels due to the intuitive idea, that Red light is ‘outside’ and ‘around’ our bodies, rather than something that goes ‘into it’.

The reality is that light easily penetrates the body, although some wavelengths from Red Light Therapy Panels better than others.

Light, and especially light from red light therapy panels, is more essential to our well-being than most people realize. Dive into the science, if you want, or take our word for it.

Or, try holding a lamp or flashlight against your hand, and notice how the light is in fact shining ‘through’ it, rather than bouncing off the skin.

Light is electromagnetic energy – photons moving through the air in particular wavelenghts, and that which doesn’t ‘go through’ our bodies is either reflected, absorbed in them or converted to heat.

Red Light therapy from red light therapy panels is defined by using the wavelenghts that to the greatest possible extent go deep into the body and at the same time refrains from being turned into heat. When these qualities are met, the photon energy of the light is converted into a chemical reaction that optimizes celluar (mitochondrial) function, and thus provides a myriad of benefits across the body from red light therapy panels.
