The science
Where Red Light Sits on the Spectrum
No ultraviolet, no tanning rays — just the red and near-infrared end of the spectrum, the wavelengths that reach deepest into the body.
Step 1 · how deep light goes
See how deep each wavelength reaches into you
Drag the slider. Watch the light travel deeper as the wavelength climbs — from red at the skin to near-infrared deep in the muscle.
660 nm Red light reaches ~6 mm into the Dermis

Penetration depths are approximate and illustrative; actual depth varies by person, device, and dose.
Step 2 · inside the cell
Your cells turn that light into energy
Once the light reaches your tissues, the mitochondria — your cells' power plants — absorb it (at an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase).
They respond by producing more ATP, the energy your cells use — which supports normal repair and recovery. Scientists call this photobiomodulation.
Step 3 · the experience
You feel the difference
Red light therapy is commonly used to support comfort, sleep quality, and post-activity recovery. Experiences vary from person to person.
