The wavelength infrared puts out is longer than the wavelength of red light, which allows infrared to penetrate more deeply into the body. Thus, the reason infrared provides some similar, but some completely different benefits than red light. Red light is visible and is most effective for use on the surface of the skin. Red light occupies the “long end” of the visible spectrum with wavelengths of 630nm-700nm. Infrared light is invisible and is effective for use on the surface of the skin as well as penetration of about 1.5 inches into the body. Infrared sits right next to red light on the electromagnetic spectrum at 800nm to 1millimeter.

Ask whether you need to take any special precautions. Also discuss which type of light therapy box would best meet your needs, so you get the most benefit and minimize possible side effects.
October 26, 2020 at 6:26 pm #1098kimmy123ParticipantWill there be bad side effects if you simultaneously switch light type/colors each day?
October 29, 2020 at 5:52 pm #1162PinkCometParticipant@kimmy123 I do not think there will be any bad side effects. It’s just that it might confuse you if you do that. I think it’ll be better if you stick to one at first and when you think, see, feel that you achieve the result that you want then go ahead and try the other one. That is for me only, my opinion.
October 30, 2020 at 4:42 pm #1174MissOiParticipantI agree with @PinkComet, there won’t be any harmful side effects though you might not also get your desired result if you will do that routine.
November 2, 2020 at 7:37 pm #1219lisamae123ParticipantHi, I just want to share red is more into anti againg and blue is skin treatments.
November 3, 2020 at 1:04 pm #1222kimmy123ParticipantOh I see. Thank you all for the inputs. I guess I will stay with blue light for my face and red light for my body.
November 4, 2020 at 4:41 pm #1296memyselfandiParticipantahhh thanks for answering the question @PinkComet
November 4, 2020 at 4:42 pm #1297memyselfandiParticipantI just want to let everyone know that Red light and near infrared light and far infrared light and blue light are all different. They all have different purpose as well.
November 5, 2020 at 5:31 pm #1349MamaGeeParticipantHi, as I’ve posted on the other thread I want to try this blue light for my skin treatment but I’m not sure what kind of blue bulb should I buy.
