Frequently asked questions.....

​

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (aka Photobiomodulation or LLLT) is a treatment that stimulates the body's cellular processes. NEO | Light uses red and full spectrum near- infrared light to activate a variety of biological processes.

​

What is it used for?

Red light therapy is used for and approved to treat injuries, reduce pain, relax muscles/joints, main application recognized in the United States by the FDA. Much new research has surfaced over the past decade which suggests many more applications including skin rejuvenation, hair loss prevention, and sleep optimization.

​

What time of day should I do it?

Technically any time of day is fine, as you are wearing "black out " goggles. However, there is likely brief exposure to the bright lights. Some lights are calming while others are stimulating. With NEO | Light we recommend doing the Restore, Pulse, and Calm Mode any time of the day. Cleanse mode however, which contains Blue light, should be done in the morning or afternoon only, and not in the  late evening. This is because Blue light is stimulating and thought to enhance mood, focus and attention-is not desired in the evening.

​

What is the difference between Infrared Saunas and Red / Infrared Light Beds?

While both modalities us e the term "Infrared" they are completely different mechanisms. An infrared sauna uses light to make heat. It typically uses FAR-Infrared heat to stimulate sweat glands for detoxification, so they are extremely warm. Red light therapy uses light which penetrates the body deep into the cell. It is often referred  to as a Low Level Laser Therapy or Cold Laser Therapy, thus heat is not involved. The goal is to improve cellular function and allow the cell to produce ATP. NEO | LIGHT uses a combination of red light and NEAR-infrared cold light to reverse oxidative stress, reduce pain, inflammation and improve cellular energy production.
