There are two main factors to maximize the benefits of red light therapy pads: the wavelength and dosage of light energy. Most devices deliver red light between 630-700nm. Sometimes, near infrared light is included typically between 800-900nm. HealthLight provides both types of light because the combination of different wavelengths positively impacts the depth of penetration.

The bulk of clinical literature suggests that light in the mid-600nm range to high-800nm range is most effective. That is because these wavelengths have the greatest effect on the cellular respiration process.

The amount of energy delivered during the treatment is measured in joules. There needs to be sufficient energy transmitted from the red and infrared LEDs during treatment to achieve an adequate dosage. The amount of joules delivered from our pads achieves this goal.
