Frequently asked questions
If you're looking to achieve healthier skin, more energy, and optimize your well-being in a safe and natural way, red light therapy may be a great fit for you.
The most well-studied mechanism behind red and near-infrared light therapy is its ability to increase energy production within the body's cells.
Here's how it works: the light particles emitted by red and near-infrared wavelengths interact with a receptor inside the cell called Cytochrome C Oxidase. This interaction stimulates the mitochondria, often referred to as the cell's "powerhouses," to use oxygen more efficiently. As a result, the body produces more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary source of cellular energy.
When cells have more energy available, many essential bodily functions can perform more effectively, supporting overall health and recovery.
Our devices use only the most effective wavelengths from the red and near-infrared spectrum, including 630nm, 660nm, and 670nm red light, as well as 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm near-infrared light.
Restrong Red Light devices deliver this light energy in a more targeted, efficient, and powerful way than natural sunlight, without harmful UV rays, and whenever it fits your schedule.
No and no.
Red light therapy produces a gentle, comfortable warmth, but it does not become excessively hot. Red light uses a different wavelength than UV light and does not have a tanning effect or contribute to premature skin aging.
In fact, red light therapy may help support the skin's natural recovery process and assist in reducing the effects of UV-related skin stress.
The short answer is no.
The longer answer comes down to the wavelengths being used. Infrared sauna lamps typically produce wavelengths above 1000nm and are primarily designed to generate heat, promote sweating, and increase circulation. While that can be beneficial, it is a completely different type of therapy than red light therapy.
Restrong Red Light Therapy devices produce minimal heat and are not designed to make you sweat.
All Restrong Red Light Therapy models deliver red light at wavelengths of 630nm, 660nm, and 670nm, along with near-infrared light at 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm. The light particles, known as photons, are absorbed by the body's cells, where they help support cellular energy production, skin rejuvenation, recovery, and overall wellness.
In other words, red light therapy and infrared sauna therapy use different wavelengths and work in very different ways.
Restrong Red Light devices use both red light and near-infrared light. The red light wavelengths are 630nm, 660nm, and 670nm, while the near-infrared wavelengths are 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm. This means our devices deliver a total of six carefully selected wavelengths from the red and near-infrared spectrum, offering the unique benefits of both.
Near-infrared light is invisible, or nearly invisible, to the human eye and penetrates deeper into the body. This allows it to reach muscles, joints, and deeper tissues more effectively.
Red light, on the other hand, is visible and works closer to the surface of the skin. It is commonly used to support skin health, improve skin appearance, and promote a more youthful-looking complexion.
By combining both red and near-infrared light, Restrong devices provide comprehensive support for recovery, performance, and overall wellness.
Yes. Based on hundreds of scientific studies, researchers have concluded that red light therapy is a safe, non-invasive form of therapy with no known serious side effects when used as directed.
Interestingly, some of the early research that contributed to modern red light therapy technology originated from NASA, where LED light technology was explored to help support muscle and bone health during space missions.
While recent studies have highlighted potential benefits of red light therapy for eye health and function, some people may find the light too bright when first getting started. That's why every Restrong Red Light device includes a pair of protective glasses, allowing you to cover your eyes during treatment if you prefer.
Many people report feeling a difference in energy levels and noticing a healthy glow in their skin shortly after using red light therapy. However, in clinical studies, measurable results are typically observed after 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use.
For goals such as muscle recovery and joint comfort, some users notice benefits immediately after a session, while others may experience the full effects several hours later, sometimes up to 8 hours after treatment.
As with any wellness routine, results can vary from person to person, and consistency is key to achieving the best outcomes.
Voor doelstellingen zoals spiergroei en een zichtbare stevige huid moet je dus rekening houden met 4 tot 8 weken gebruik.
