RED LIGHT
Visible red light acts primarily on the more superficial layers of the skin and tissues.
WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY?
Red and near-infrared light.
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. The light reaches the surface of the skin and parts of the tissues, where it is absorbed by the cells.
At Nexeltron, we use large LED panels that allow for comfortable exposure of selected body areas while in a sitting or semi-reclining position.
NEAR-INFRARED
Near-infrared light has a greater ability to penetrate deep into tissues than red light.
CONTROLLED EXPOSURE
The session takes place at a specific distance from the panel and for a scheduled duration, in accordance with the device parameters and usage protocol.
HOW DOES LIGHT THERAPY WORK?
Light works at the cellular level.
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. At Nexeltron, we use this type of exposure as a supportive element for regeneration, wellbeing, and a modern approach to recovery.
Red light works more superficially, while near-infrared can reach deeper. The sessions are comfortable, non-invasive, and performed under controlled conditions.
RED LIGHT
Red light acts mainly on the more superficial layers of skin and tissue.
NEAR-INFRARED
Near-infrared light can penetrate deeper than red light, reaching underlying tissues.
CELLS AND ENERGY
Light is absorbed by cells, where it can support processes related to cellular energy production.
REGENERATION
In practice, red light therapy is used as a supportive element for recovery, comfort, and regular regeneration.
WHAT IS THE SESSION LIKE?
Light. Comfort. A few minutes for yourself.
A red light therapy session is non-invasive and takes place in a comfortable position. The mobile panel is positioned so that the light covers a specific area of the body or a larger surface.
01
PREPARATION
The user assumes a comfortable sitting or semi-reclining position, and the selected area of the body is prepared for light exposure.
02
PANEL SETTINGS
The mobile panel is positioned at the appropriate angle and distance to evenly illuminate the selected area of the body.
03
EXPOSURE TO LIGHT
During the session, the body is exposed to red and near-infrared light for a duration determined by the selected session variant.
04
SESSION END
After the exposure is complete, the user can return to normal activities or combine light therapy with the next Nexeltron recovery element.
TYPES OF LIGHT
Different wavelengths. Different properties.
Light encompasses many wavelength ranges. Individual colors differ in terms of, among other things, penetration depth and how they interact with the skin and tissues.
In phototherapy, different light ranges are used depending on the intended application. The following summary is for educational purposes and highlights the basic differences between them.
BLUE LIGHT
440–500 nm
Blue light acts mainly superficially. In phototherapy literature, it is described primarily in the context of dermatological applications and its effect on the skin's surface.
GREEN LIGHT
500–570 nm
Green light reaches the superficial layers of the skin and is used in selected applications related to its appearance and pigmentation.
YELLOW LIGHT
570–590 nm
Yellow light acts primarily on the surface and is used in certain phototherapeutic solutions related to skin care.
RED LIGHT
620–750 nm
Red light penetrates deeper than blue, green, and yellow light. It is widely used in photobiomodulation and applications related to skin and regeneration.
NEAR-INFRARED
NIR
Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye and can penetrate deeper into tissues than red light. The device materials presented for Nexeltron include, among others, a wavelength of 850 nm.
SESSION PARAMETERS
It's not just the wavelength. The light dose also matters.
Two sessions using the same wavelength may differ in actual exposure. Light intensity, distance from the panel, and session duration are also significant.
Therefore, light therapy should not be reduced to the principle of "the stronger and longer, the better." Parameters must be selected as a whole.
01
WAVELENGTH
The wavelength determines the type of light and influences, among other things, its ability to penetrate skin and tissues.
02
LIGHT INTENSITY
Irradiance defines the amount of light power reaching a specific surface. It is one of the key exposure parameters.
03
DISTANCE FROM PANEL
The user's distance from the light source affects the amount of energy reaching the body's surface and is therefore an element of the session protocol.
04
TIME AND DOSE
The exposure time, together with the light intensity, influences the final energy dose delivered during the session.
MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER
Proper exposure matters.
In photobiomodulation, a dose-dependent response is described. Too little exposure may be insufficient, while increasing intensity or time beyond the appropriate range does not necessarily improve the effect. Therefore, wavelength, intensity, and time should be considered together.
WHERE IS LIGHT THERAPY USED?
From recovery to skin and tissue regeneration.
Red light and near-infrared light are used in many areas related to recovery, sports, comfort, and skin condition. The effect depends on the wavelength, dose, exposure time, and the protocol used.
SPORT AND RECOVERY
Light therapy is used in sports as an element of recovery after training and intense physical exertion.
MUSCLES AND SORENESS
Red and near-infrared light are used for muscle recovery and reducing perceived post-exercise soreness.
CIRCULATION
Photobiomodulation is used and studied in the context of local blood flow and processes related to microcirculation.
PAIN COMFORT
Red light and near-infrared light are used in selected applications related to musculoskeletal pain, tension, and discomfort.
TISSUES AND REGENERATION
Photobiomodulation is used in areas related to tissue regeneration and repair processes.
LEATHER
Red light is popular for applications related to skin condition, appearance, elasticity, and collagen-related processes.
IMPORTANT
The scope of applications for light therapy is broad, but the level of evidence varies depending on the purpose, wavelength, and protocol used. Light therapy is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
SAFETY AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
Light is a mild stimulus, but not for everyone.
Red light therapy is non-invasive; however, before a session, one should consider individual light sensitivity, medications being taken, and the safety guidelines specified for the particular device.
PHOTOSENSITIVITY
Light sensitivity matters.
People with photosensitivity disorders or those taking photosensitizing medication should ensure that light therapy is appropriate for them before the session.
EYE PROTECTION
Do not look directly into the light source.
The panel's intense light can be very bright. Eye protection and usage guidelines should comply with the specific device's manual.
BEFORE THE SESSION
Some situations require further assessment.
Particular attention may be required for conditions such as active skin lesions, diseases that increase photosensitivity, ocular problems, and other health conditions that may affect the safety of exposure.
BEFORE THE FIRST SESSION
Before beginning therapy, the user should read the Nexeltron safety guidelines and the device manufacturer's requirements. In the case of illness, the use of photosensitizing medications, or any health concerns, the possibility of using the therapy should be discussed with an appropriate specialist beforehand.
