Red & Infrared LED Light Technology:
The Science of Light and Wellness

Light that energises, balances, and revitalises — designed to help you feel your best, inside and out.

Red and Infrared Light — also known as photobiomodulation — is one of the most explored light-based wellness technologies today. Safe, non-invasive, and deeply comforting, it’s designed to promote relaxation, balance, and a revitalised, radiant appearance.

What Red & Infrared Light Is

Red and Infrared Light are safe, non-invasive light technologies designed to create a soothing and revitalising experience. They help the skin look refreshed and balanced while supporting overall comfort and wellbeing.

Red Light

(600–700 nm)

Red Light interacts with the surface layers of the skin, creating a gentle warming sensation often associated with radiance and revitalisation.

Near-Infrared Light

(700–1000 nm)

Near-Infrared Light provides a comforting depth of warmth designed to promote a feeling of relaxation and balance throughout the body.

Far-Infrared

(FIR, >3000 nm)

Far-Infrared Light emits deeply soothing warmth that supports a calm, restorative experience and overall sense of wellbeing.

Together, these wavelengths create a layered, comforting experience - from a gentle surface glow to a deeper sense of warmth and relaxation.

How Red & Infrared Light Support Wellness & Renewal

Energising Light Interaction

Red and Infrared wavelengths interact with the skin’s surface, promoting a refreshed and revitalised appearance. This gentle light energy is often associated with feelings of warmth, balance, and renewal.

Soothing & Restorative Experience

The calming warmth of light can help you unwind, relax, and release everyday tension - leaving your skin and body feeling comforted and restored.

Support for Comfort & Balance

These wavelengths are known for creating a sense of gentle activation, helping you feel more balanced and re-energised after use.

Visible Radiance & Skin Vitality

Red Light helps skin look smoother and more luminous over time, while promoting an overall radiant, healthy-looking glow.

The Collagen Connection

Collagen is the key structural protein that helps give skin its firmness and elasticity. Red and Infrared Light are often associated with a refreshed, radiant look — creating an environment that helps the skin feel smooth, supple, and revitalised.

How light supports your glow:

  • Encourages a healthy-looking, more luminous complexion
  • Promotes a sense of balance and renewal in the skin’s appearance
  • Helps the skin feel softer, firmer, and visibly refreshed over time

The result: skin that looks radiant and revitalised — powered by light-inspired wellness, not magic.

Far-Infrared Therapy (FIR)

Unlike red and near-infrared light, FIR focuses on delivering a comforting warmth that surrounds the body in soothing heat.

How it supports you:

  • Promotes a feeling of relaxation and ease
  • Provides gentle warmth that helps you unwind after busy days
  • Encourages an overall sense of balance and wellbeing

Blue LED Light Technology

Blue Light works on the surface of the skin, creating a refreshing and calming effect.

How it supports you:

  • Promotes a clear, balanced, and healthy-looking complexion
  • Helps soothe and comfort the skin’s surface
  • Complements Red Light by focusing on surface-level revitalisation
