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.
