What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to interact with cells and tissues.
At CELLIQ Wellness, we use 635 nm red light and 810 nm near-infrared light. These two wavelengths interact with tissue at different depths and are used together as part of our dual-wavelength approach.
When the light is absorbed by cells, one of the key areas it interacts with is the mitochondria — the structures responsible for producing cellular energy. This can support the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy cells use for normal function, repair and recovery.
Through these cellular processes, photobiomodulation can support pain and tissue recovery, cellular energy and metabolism, fat metabolism, circulation and lymphatic function, and skin health.
The MedWave™ Difference
Our MedWave™ system is designed to deliver 3–5 times more photonic power than conventional red-light contouring systems. It uses 585 LED focal lenses with a narrow, focused light design to concentrate photonic energy more effectively across the treatment area.
Rather than allowing the light to disperse broadly, the focused lens design directs the red and near-infrared light more precisely towards the tissue, providing a more concentrated and controlled photobiomodulation treatment.
The Power of Dual-Wavelength 635 nm and 810 nm Light Therapy
635 nm red light and 810 nm near-infrared light are the two wavelengths delivered by the MedWave™ photobiomodulation system used at CELLIQ Wellness.
MedWave™ technology uses focused, narrow-angle light delivery to concentrate red and near-infrared photonic energy across the treatment area, supporting effective tissue exposure and therapeutic absorption while minimising unnecessary light dispersion to surrounding areas.
Is Red Light Therapy Backed by Research?
Yes. Photobiomodulation has been studied for decades in both clinical and research settings.
A substantial body of peer-reviewed research has investigated its effects across a wide range of biological and clinical applications.
How Long Has It Been Used?
Red light therapy has been used in clinical settings since the 1960s, originally explored in Eastern Europe and further developed by NASA in the 1980s to promote healing in zero gravity.
Since then, it has been widely adopted in:
