How it works

Inside a red light therapy session.

01

Position the panel

A red-light panel is aimed at the treatment area from a short distance, clothing is moved off the target zone.

02

Deliver specific wavelengths

Red and near-infrared wavelengths (typically 630-850 nm) penetrate skin and shallow tissue.

03

Support mitochondria

Photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, supporting cellular energy (ATP) production.

04

Compound the visit

We add red light after adjusting, percussion, or scraping to lock in recovery gains.
