Red light therapy beds in the marketplace often cost anywhere from $70,000 to $140,000. These beds can be extremely heavy, claustrophobic and require special electrical to be operated.

Comprised of 4,200 high powered LEDs using the same technology from Mito Red Light's patented panel series. This allows us to reduce the overall LED count thus increasing energy efficiency while offering more power than many other beds on the market use small chips with no focusing lenses.

The wavelength of light is measured in nanometres (nm) and can differ in terms of factors such as its energy and penetration depth. Red light in the spectrum of around to 660 nanometres (nm) has proven to be particularly effective when applied to the skin. Adding near-infrared light (NIR) in the range of around 850 nanometres can be useful if you wish to benefit from additional systemic depth effects. As it can penetrate deeper, the effects of near-infrared light can also reach the fascia and muscles. In comparison to traditional infrared heat lamps, such as those used in infrared saunas or in treatments for colds, near-infrared light in the range of 850 nanometres does not generate any intense heat.

In the medical world, the positive effects that red light and near-infrared can have on cells and organisms are often referred to as red light therapy, photobiomodulation, photobiostimulation or low level light therapy (LLLT).

Fatigue, exhaustion, lack of motivation and weight gain are typical symptoms of the winter blues. When the days are shorter, red light and near-infrared can generate energy and activate the body to counteract the effects of winter fatigue and a lack of motivation. 

For sleep disorders, red and near-infrared light can help to improve your quality of sleep. When exposed to light, our bodies create the “happiness hormone” serotonin and then create the “sleep hormone” melatonin when it is dark, which regulates our sleep-wake cycles. In particular, exposure to blue light from smartphones and screens in the evening can have a negative impact on our quality of sleep as this can impair the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Red light can help to regulate the body’s natural chrono-biological functions and melatonin production to improve our sleep. After a restorative sleep, we are more productive and have more energy for the day ahead. If you are suffering from jetlag, light can also help to get your natural biorhythm back on track, so that you feel fit and ready for action again.

For the areas of sport and physiotherapy, red light is used in combination with near-infrared as these fields are looking to achieve both surface-level and deeper systemic results. Treatment can enhance performance, prevent muscle fatigue and accelerate regeneration. In particular, tissue, fascia and bone tissue benefit from the increased production of collagen.

Areas where red light and near-infrared can be used in sport and physiotherapy: 

• Pre-conditioning of muscles, bones, fascia and joints

• Enhanced performance thanks to improved blood flow and more ATP

• Quicker regeneration after sport thanks to the breakdown of lactic acid

• Support during massage and physiotherapy thanks to deeper effects
