Red light therapy is the self-care secret with supercharged benefits, whether beauty-boosting or health-hacking. Powered by a spectrum of wavelengths including red, near-infrared, deep near-infrared and infrared, a new era of wellbeing devices promises everything from smoother skin to muscle soothing—read on to find out which is best for you.
How red light therapy panels benefit your skin
Red light therapy panels use red light wavelengths to penetrate the skin. This light is absorbed by cells, increasing ATP levels (the energy currency of cells). This fuels cellular processes and triggers collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother, firmer, even-toned skin with a youthful glow.
The versatile and flexible design of the CurrentBody Panel LED Light Therapy Panel allows for tailored treatments anywhere on the body, powered by red and blue light for advanced anti-aging, skin-clearing and recovery.
How infrared sauna blankets work
Infrared sauna blankets provide the deep-penetrating benefits of traditional infrared saunas at home, using a process called far-infrared radiation to heat the body.
Ideal for overall wellness and full body recovery, infrared wavelengths reach deep into the body to generate heat from the inside out. This triggers a natural cooling response, expanding blood vessels to boost circulation, and activating sweat glands, with detoxifying effects. Combined, these benefits speed up muscle recovery, help relieve joint pain and promote overall relaxation and wellbeing.
With adjustable settings, the CurrentBody Wellness Infrared Sauna Blanket provides daily portable pamper sessions, whether supporting your post-workout recovery or pre-bedtime routine for restful sleep.
What is the difference between infrared and red light therapy?
The key difference between red and infrared light therapy lies in the wavelength used, which determines the penetration depth. While red light is absorbed by the skin, increasing collagen and elastin production for improved skin health and advanced anti-aging, infrared light travels deeper into the body, reaching muscles and joints.
Red light therapy panels are typically quicker and easier to use, with sessions lasting just 10 to 20 minutes. Infrared therapy sessions tend to be longer, lasting up to an hour depending on the device used, and require cleaning and showering post-treatment.
