Red light therapy (RLT), also called photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT), is increasingly popular in wellness and aesthetics for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and healing benefits. Devices like Elevare, Celluma, and the Neo Science Red Light Bed all use specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to deliver these benefits, though they vary in design, power, and target use.
🔴 How Red Light Helps (Science-Based Overview)
Red and NIR light (typically 630–850nm wavelengths) penetrates the skin and is absorbed by mitochondria in your cells—specifically by cytochrome c oxidase. This boosts ATP (energy) production, which can:
Promote cell repair and regeneration
Reduce inflammation and pain
Stimulate collagen production
Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
Elevare Skin
Best for: Facial skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, acne, fine lines
Uses: Medical-grade LEDs, mainly red and infrared light
(wavelengths around 630–880nm)
Benefits:
Boosts collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin
Reduces acne and inflammation
Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles
Typical Use: 3–5 minutes per area, a few times weekly
Celluma Light Therapy
Best for: Skin (anti-aging & acne), pain, and wound healing
Uses: Red, blue, and near-infrared light (around 465nm, 640nm, 880nm)

Acne treatment (blue light)
Wrinkle reduction (red light)
Pain relief and muscle/joint recovery (NIR)
Flexible Panel Design: Allows contouring over the face, back, joints, etc.
Neo Science Red Light Bed
