Red light therapy is a powerful, non-invasive wellness technology that uses specific wavelengths of light to support the body's natural recovery processes. It has become increasingly popular among athletes, health professionals, and wellness enthusiasts for its ability to enhance performance, promote relaxation, and support overall vitality. But how exactly does it work—and which devices deliver the best results?

In this guide, we explore the science behind red light therapy and how Air Relax's R+ | NIR+ multi-wave devices offer a complete range of solutions for at-home and professional use.

How Red Light Therapy Works

Red light therapy operates through a process called photobiomodulation (PBM)—the absorption of light by the body's cells, particularly the mitochondria, which are responsible for energy production. When exposed to therapeutic wavelengths, especially 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared (NIR), mitochondria become more efficient at producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate)—the energy molecule essential for cellular repair, regeneration, and performance.

This ATP boost can help support:

• Improved circulation
• Enhanced tissue oxygenation
• Skin rejuvenation and collagen production
• Faster muscle recovery
• Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress

The therapy is completely non-invasive, UV-free, and safe for all skin types. Regular use is key to achieving long-term benefits, making consistency a core component of any effective red light therapy protocol.

Why Wavelengths Matter: 660nm + 850nm and Beyond

Different wavelengths penetrate the body at varying depths, offering targeted benefits:

• 660nm red light: Effective for skin-level treatment, supporting collagen production, improving tone and texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
• 850nm near-infrared (NIR) light: Penetrates deeper into muscle and connective tissues to support joint mobility, muscle recovery, and internal cellular function.

Air Relax’s advanced R+ | NIR+ multi-wave output goes even further—incorporating these core wavelengths along with 1060nm deep infrared, blue, and yellow light to deliver comprehensive, full-spectrum photobiomodulation.

Whether you need full-body light coverage, targeted treatment, or a portable therapy solution, Air Relax offers red light products that align with scientific best practices and user convenience.

🔴 RLPRO R+ | NIR+ Full Spectrum Panels

These clinical-grade panels deliver up to ≥1400W/m² irradiance at 6 inches, with full control over wavelength dimming (1–100%) and frequency modulation (1–10,000Hz). Featuring nine therapeutic wavelengths including 660nm, 850nm, and 1060nm, RLPRO panels are ideal for professional environments and committed home users. Smart mobile app control and six built-in therapy modes make it easy to personalize every session.

🔴 360° Red Light Therapy Sleeping Bag

Combining comfort with high-intensity performance, this full-body red light therapy sleeping bag uses 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light to surround the body in healing wavelengths. Ideal for passive daily use, it promotes relaxation, energy restoration, and whole-body recovery.

🔴 Red Light Therapy Mats

Designed for portability and ease of use, these infrared wellness mats are great for focused therapy sessions. Use them flat for full-body alignment or wrap around specific areas for targeted light delivery. High-density LED arrays and adjustable settings ensure effective results anywhere.
