What is Infrared Light?
Infrared light (780nm-1nm)
Segmented further into near (IR-A), mid (IR-B), and far (IR-C) infrared, the infrared wavelengths of light are non-visible wavelengths that have a longer wavelength than red visible light. Most sunlight energy is, in fact, infrared, with infrared light comprising 52-55% of sunlight!
Felt at thermal energy or heat (like that emitted from a fire or incandescent light bulb), infrared light is incredibly nourishing, with red and near-infrared light (the infrared band closest to visible red light) being the only wavelengths of light able to penetrate the skin, promoting cell regeneration, tissue oxygenation, and overall health and energy in the cells.
Infrared light is also used in various medical treatments, including pain relief, wound healing, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, improved skin health, enhanced athletic performance and muscle recovery.
Pain relief: Infrared light has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation by promoting the release of endorphins and increasing blood flow to affected areas.
Reduced inflammation: Infrared light has anti-inflammatory effects, which can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, and other inflammatory conditions.
Improved circulation: Infrared light therapy has been shown to improve circulation by increasing the formation of new blood vessels and promoting blood flow to damaged or injured areas
Improved skin health: Infrared light can improve the appearance of skin by stimulating collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting wound healing.
Enhanced athletic performance: Infrared light therapy has been shown to improve muscle recovery and reduce muscle fatigue, leading to enhanced athletic performance.
