Before we explain their differences, let's help you understand what red light is.
What Is Red Light?
Sometimes referred to as RLT, Red Light Therapy exposes your body to low doses of near-infrared and red light.
You can't see near-infrared light, but your body can feel it through warmth and heat. You can see red light. It has similar beneficial properties to near-infrared light but without the warmth and heat.
RLT uses a special device, like a lamp or a laser, that shines red light onto your skin. These devices expose your skin to wavelengths of light (red spectrum light). There are no known side effects of red light therapy. In fact, RLT can help you experience various benefits, which you'll discover shortly.
Studies have also shown RLT can potentially increase collagen and elastin. The research shows this can happen when using large panels such as our Super Max Red Light Therapy Device.
