Frequently asked questions
The combination of red light and near-infrared light interacts powerfully with the body. Red light penetrates a short distance into the skin, while near-infrared light reaches deeper layers. The interaction between these light forms produces therapeutic effects that cannot be achieved with just one light form. TrendRehab’s light therapy devices emit two wavelengths, one for red light and one for near-infrared light, which affect so-called photoacceptors in cells. This stimulation leads to several health-promoting effects. There are thousands of scientific studies that support its benefits in a wide range of applications.
No studies have shown any negative effects of red light therapy during pregnancy, and it is often used to treat skin changes that may occur. However, it is recommended to avoid direct exposure to the abdominal and back areas, as the light can reach the fetus and potentially affect its circadian rhythm, especially if the treatment is given at times when sunlight is not available.
No, the light from the RLT panel (red light therapy) does not usually damage my vision as it does not contain ultraviolet rays that can be harmful to the eyes. However, the bright light can be uncomfortable if you look directly at it for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not stare directly at the light source and wear protective glasses if you feel comfortable.
Yes, you can wear makeup during your Red Light Therapy (RLT) treatment, but it is good to be aware that certain types of makeup, especially those containing particles such as powder or foundation, can theoretically reduce the amount of light reaching the skin.
No, there is no evidence to suggest that it is harmful, although many studies have been conducted on it.

Wavelength: 660 nanometers (nm).
Penetration depth: Red light penetrates the superficial layer of the skin, approximately 1-3 mm deep.
Areas of application:
-
Skin health: Improves the appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen production, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and treats acne and other skin conditions.
-
Wound healing: Promotes wound healing and reduces scarring by increasing blood flow and cell renewal.
- Pain relief: Can be used to relieve superficial pain, such as muscle and joint pain.
When to use RED: When your goal is to improve skin quality, treat superficial pain, or promote the healing of superficial wounds and inflammation.
Wavelength: 850 nanometers (nm).
Penetration depth: NIR can penetrate deeper into tissues, up to about 5-10 cm deep.
Areas of application:
-
Deep tissue therapy: Used to treat deeper muscles, joints and tissues, which is beneficial for muscle recovery, pain relief and inflammation reduction.
-
Improved blood circulation: Promotes blood circulation to deeper tissues, which helps in muscle and joint healing and recovery.
- Pain and inflammation: Effective in reducing inflammation and chronic pain in joints and muscles.
When to use NIR: If your goal is to treat deeper muscle pain, joint pain or promote healing and recovery at a deeper level.
RED (Red Light, 660 nm):
- Penetrates the superficial layers of the skin (1-3 mm).
- Improves skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles and treating acne.
- Promotes wound healing and reduces scarring.
- Relieves superficial pain such as muscle pain and joint pain.
NIR (Near Infrared Light, 850 nm):
- Penetrates deeper into the tissues (5-10 cm).
- Helps with deep tissue treatment such as muscle, joint and tissue recovery.
- Improves blood circulation in deep tissues and accelerates healing.
- Reduces chronic pain and inflammation in muscles and joints.
