Red and near-infrared light is absorbed by chromophores in
the mitochondria (especially Cytochrome c Oxidase), leading
to an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential, oxygen
consumption, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and a transient
increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), which then results
in increased antioxidant activity.
It can therefore help to increase energy, accelerate muscle,
joint, and tendon regeneration, increase collagen
production, improve skin quality, improve blood circulation,
and have other positive eects.
Dierences in the use of red (RED) and near-infrared (NIR)
light
- Red light is absorbed by the skin. It can help improve the
skin's quality and appearance and speed up healing
wounds and scars.
- Near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the body. It
can help to improve the regeneration of muscles, joints,
and tendons or to increase cognitive function.
- Red and near-infrared spectra are the most often used
together and have synergistic eects.
