Red Light Therapy Bed is a medical or beauty device that uses red light or near-infrared light of a specific wavelength (usually 600-700nm and 800-900nm) for whole-body irradiation. It is based on the principle of photobiomodulation (PBM), which penetrates the skin through low-energy light, stimulates cytochrome C oxidase in cell mitochondria, promotes ATP energy synthesis, and thus triggers a series of physiological reactions.
Core Principle
Promote cell repair: Red light enhances mitochondrial activity, accelerates tissue repair and regeneration.
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic: Inhibits inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α, IL-6), and relieves muscle and joint pain.
Collagen production: Stimulates fibroblasts, improves skin elasticity, and reduces wrinkles.
Improves blood circulation: Promotes the release of nitric oxide, dilates blood vessels, and enhances blood flow.
Main Uses
Skin Health
Treats acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Reduces wrinkles and scars, and brightens skin tone (such as Joovv, Kleo and other brands that focus on anti-aging functions).
Pain Management
Relieve arthritis, muscle soreness, postoperative pain (clinical studies show effectiveness for fibromyalgia).
Sports Recovery
Professional athletes use it to reduce lactic acid accumulation and accelerate muscle repair (common in NBA teams and gyms).
Mental Health
Assists in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and regulates circadian rhythms.
Equipment Features
Light Source Type: LED array or low-level laser (LLLT), no UV.
Irradiation Time: 10-20 minutes per session, 2-3 times per week, the treatment is more effective.
Safety: Non-invasive, some models are approved by the FDA for specific indications (such as muscle pain).
