“Near” infrared is presently used by skin care experts and dermatologists to correct skin issues and reducing irritations, abrasions, eruptions, and even pain. As we begin to examine all of the applications of “red light” therapy, we’d also have to consider “Far” infrared, rays at a greater wavelength, to create a “full spectrum.” While “near” has proven effective on skin and surfaces, “far” has been evidenced to strengthen and repair mitochondria, the power centers of your cells.

In simple terms, cells have receptor sites, some of them specific to “photons” or units of light. When we activate those receptor sites, we initiate a cascade of metabolic events including increased blood flow, increase.
