1) Pain Relief & Inflammation Reduction
Wavelengths: 630 nm, 660 nm, 810 nm, 830 nm, 850 nm
Explanation: Red and near-infrared light penetrates tissue to reduce inflammatory factors, relieving chronic and acute pain. Studies show that red light therapy can improve sleep quality and subjective fatigue in athletes, and significantly reduce pain and inflammation in patients with arthritis.
