Our New High Power Red & Near-Infrared Device
Red light therapy (RLT), also called photobiomodulation (PBM)
- a non-invasive treatment - where low energy light waves penetrate deep into the body.
Red light penetrates the skin and the longer wavelength NIR light targets the deeper tissues: Muscles, tendons, bone & nerves.
​
This helps stimulate cellular repair, improves skin health, and reduces inflammation.

Our new 200w device is effectively capable of providing the same benefits as a conventional 15-30 minute RTL/PBM session, in 2-5 minutes.
The Red/NIR wavelengths are non ionising, meaning they don't damage DNA, making shorter sessions viable.
Research is showing that 100mw/cm2 is approximately the ideal amount of radiance for the best overall results.
This device can achieve that in 15-30 seconds per area.
​Therapeutic Potential​

We'll add some supporting papers in for these target areas shortly.​
Hormesis
​Hormesis is a biological phenomenon where low-dose exposure to a stressor induces adaptive, beneficial effects, while high doses are toxic or inhibitory. Often described as a biphasic or "inverted U-shaped" response, this mechanism strengthens cellular resilience, improves repair mechanisms, and promotes longevity.​
RLT induces this response and in return boosts protein synthesis and enzyme activity, while supporting the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory systems of the body, benefitting overall resilience and cellular health.
Energy from the red light wavelengths increases blood flow, detoxifying and enhancing nutrient delivery and uptake.​​
ATP
Red light therapy (RLT) boosts Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production by using specific red/near-infrared wavelengths (650-900nm) to stimulate mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase. This process increases cellular energy, enhances metabolic function, reduces oxidative stress, and improves tissue repair, making it a powerful tool for anti-inflammatory and therapeutic applications.
Mechanism of Action: How RLT Boosts ATP
-
Cytochrome c Oxidase Stimulation: RLT photons are absorbed by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, a critical, rate-limiting enzyme in the electron transport chain, facilitating faster electron transfer.
-
Nitric Oxide Release: Red light breaks bonds between nitric oxide (NO) and cytochrome c oxidase, which typically inhibits cellular respiration. Removing NO allows oxygen to bind, accelerating ATP synthesis.
-
Increased Mitochondrial Activity: Research shows that this stimulation reduces the viscosity of the mitochondria's internal environment, enabling the "engine" to work faster and more efficiently, resulting in greater ATP production.
-
Optimal Exposure Time: Studies indicate that significant ATP increases in muscle tissue are observed with sustained exposure, specifically peaking around 3 to 6 hours after treatment.
Benefits of Enhanced ATP Production
-
Improved Cellular Performance: Higher ATP levels enhance the functionality of cells throughout the body, improving tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and enhancing recovery.
-
Reduced Blood Glucose: Research suggests that red light exposure can lower peak blood glucose levels and improve overall metabolic health.
-
Neuroprotection and Mobility: In animal models, increased ATP from 670nm light has shown potential to improve mobility and aid in treating conditions like Parkinson's disease.
-
Reduced Oxidative Stress: By improving mitochondrial efficiency, RLT reduces the production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage cells.
