What is Red and Near Infrared Light
Therapy?
Red and near-infrared light are part of
the electromagnetic spectrum, and
more specifically, part of the spectrum
of light emitted by the sun. These
wavelengths of light are “bioactive” in
humans.
Below is a chart outlining the electromagnetic spectrum:
If you remember high school physics, when you pass white light through a prism it
separates out the different colors based on their wavelengths (ROYGBIV). Only a tiny part
of this spectrum (roughly 400nm to 700nm) is actually visible to the human eye.
