on the benefits of redlight
We utilize 6 distinct, clinically-studied wavelengths intended to target multiple layers of the body. Our app and panel were built based off these studies.
Explore the 30+ peer-reviewed studies related to these wavelengths below.
1. Skin Health & Appearance
The Mechanism The wavelengths are designed to stimulate fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells), reduce MMP-1 (collagen-degrading enzymes), and support natural skin recovery.
Skin Rejuvenation Study
630nm 660nmA 2021 review suggested that red light therapy may improve skin roughness and wrinkle depth by stimulating collagen density.
Read Study →Lee et al. (2021)
Acne & Inflammation
630nmResearch indicated that red light therapy helped down-regulate cytokines in acne lesions, which may assist in reducing inflammation.

Post-Procedure Healing
630nm 830nmStudies demonstrate that PBM may accelerate the healing process of surgical incisions and support tissue recovery by enhancing mitochondrial ATP production.
Read Study →Kuryliszyn-Moskal (2017)
Psoriasis Support
830nm 630nmA systematic review highlighted PBM as a potential option for reducing plaque psoriasis severity and inflammation.
Read Study →Zhang et al. (2018)
Sun Damage Studies
630nmResearch found that 630nm light may help inhibit photoaging enzymes, potentially protecting the skin structure from UV-induced degradation.
Read Study →Kim et al. (2017)
2. Muscle Recovery & Performance
The Mechanism Believed to enhance mitochondrial ATP production, help clear blood lactate, and support the shift of muscle tissue from inflammatory to recovery states.
Muscle Hypertrophy
660nm 850nm
Study Highlight: A randomized trial observed that using PBM before strength training increased muscle mass and strength compared to training alone.
Read Study →Ferraresi et al. (2016)
Performance Recovery
850nmA 2018 systematic review confirmed that PBM may reduce creatine kinase (a muscle damage marker) and accelerate return-to-performance.
Read Study →Vanin et al. (2018)
Endurance Studies
810nm 850nmIn a study of elite soccer players, those treated with PBM stayed on the field longer before exhaustion and had lower levels of oxidative stress.
Read Study →De Marchi et al. (2017)
Injury Recovery Support
830nmUniversity athletes with injuries treated with 830nm light were observed to return to play sooner than those who did not use light therapy.

3. Joint Comfort & Bone Health
The Mechanism Deep tissue penetration may reduce inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) in joint capsules and stimulate osteoblast (bone cell) activity.
Knee Function
810nm 830nm
Major Meta-Analysis: Published in BMJ Open, this review confirmed that LLLT significantly reduced pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis patients.
Read Study →Stausholm et al. (2019)
Back Discomfort
810nm 850nmA 2016 meta-analysis found that LLLT is an effective method for reducing pain intensity in non-specific chronic low back pain.
Read Study →Glazov et al. (2016)
Joint Inflammation
810nmPhotobiomodulation was shown to downregulate inflammatory cytokines and reduce joint swelling in arthritis models.
Read Study →Tomazoni et al. (2017)
Bone Regeneration
830nmStudies showed accelerated deposition of new bone (osteogenesis) and collagen in fracture models, suggesting potential for faster healing.
Read Study →Bossini et al. (2012)
4. Brain Health & Cognition
The Mechanism Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) penetrates the skull to support oxygenation of the prefrontal cortex and boost cerebral metabolism.
Cognitive Performance
1064nm
Landmark Study: A single session improved reaction time, memory, and sustained attention in healthy humans by increasing cerebral oxygenation.
Read Study →Barrett & Gonzalez-Lima
Mood Support
810nmA 2018 clinical trial (ELATED-2) demonstrated that transcranial PBM was safe and associated with reductions in depressive symptoms.
Read Study →Cassano et al. (2018)
Alpha/Beta Waves
1064nm1064nm light was found to increase Alpha and Beta brain waves, which are associated with focus and resting alertness.
Read Study →Wang et al. (2019)
Memory Studies
810nmPatients with dementia showed improvements in cognition scores and sleep quality after 12 weeks of tPBM in a clinical study.
Read Study →Saltmarche et al. (2017)
5. Sleep & Hormones
The Mechanism Supports natural circadian rhythms without melatonin suppression; may help reduce cortisol to shift the body into a relaxed state.
Sleep Inertia
630nmPublished in Nature: Saturation with red light upon waking reduced "sleep inertia" (grogginess), improving alertness faster than dim light conditions.
Read Study →Nature (2019)
Sleep Quality
660nm14 days of whole-body red light therapy was shown to improve sleep scores and serum melatonin levels in elite female athletes.
Read Study →Zhao et al. (2012)
Testosterone Studies
660nmA 2016 study found that low-level laser therapy significantly improved sperm motility and testosterone levels in animal models.
Read Study →Ahn et al. (2013)
Thyroid Support
830nmA study observed that some patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) experienced reduced thyroid antibodies and improved hormone output.
