660nm 850nm LED Infrared Red Light Therapy Devices.
RedDot is the best red light therapy manufacturers and global leader of & highest irradiance infrared LED red light therapy devices, which are FDA approved and easy to use. The RD Series red light therapy products are the most advanced red light therapy devices available anywhere.
Modular Design
Physically and electronically connect your red light therapy panels together. The RD series modular design allows for full customization and multiple configurations to support any in-home or commercial application. Build as you go!
Complete Flexibility
Use Red (630nm / 660nm) alone, Near Infrared (830nm / 850nm) alone, or both at the same time!
Integrated Digital Control Panel
An integrated digital control panel with a built-in timer allows you to control your entire light array with the push of a single button!
Scientifically Driven
Available only from the red light panel, the patent-pending RD series incorporates the four most bio-active wavelengths 630nm / 660nm (Red) and 830nm / 850nm (Near Infrared). This unique configuration drives enhanced efficacy by delivering increased light energy at the parts of the spectra which maximize cytochrome c oxidase activation.
The RedDot RD series with both 660nm and 850nm LEDs is able to more optimally cover BOTH of the peak points in the red spectrum.
In addition, the 660nm wavelength has been shown in many research studies to be beneficial for the following:
Exercise Performance and Muscle Recovery
One randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving sixteen male athletes, concluded that 660nm phototherapy improves performance in Wingate anaerobic exercise.
Another study concluded that after 660nm LED Therapy (LEDT), “muscle soreness, muscle strength loss, and ROM (range of motion) impairments were significantly reduced up to 96 h after a damaging eccentric exercise bout for the LEDT group compared with the PLACEBO group”.
The authors elaborated that just a SINGLE LEDT (660 nm) intervention immediately after a damaging eccentric exercise bout was effective in terms of attenuating the muscle soreness and muscle strength loss and ROM impairments.
Another study investigated the effect of 660nm light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT) on exercise-induced hand muscle fatigue. The study concluded that active LEDT recovers muscle fatigue faster than passive rest.
All three studies referenced above were ‘gold standard’ randomized control trials and should be exciting reading for anybody looking to perform better athletically and recover faster from exercise!
Skin Health
One study examined photorejuvenation of the face with a combination of micro-needling, 660nm red light, and aminolevulinic acid (ALA). The researchers found statistically significant improvement in the global photoaging scores, as well as sub‐components of the scale (fine lines, mottled pigmentation, sallowness, tactile roughness, and telangiectasias) at 3 months as compared with baseline live assessment, and at 6‐month live assessment compared with the 3 months.
Another study examined the effects of 660nm LED therapy on sensitive skin syndrome. Sensitive skin (SS) syndrome is defined by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations in response to stimuli that should normally not induce such sensations. It affects ~50% of women and 40% of men and can impact the quality of life.
The treatment consisted of red LED light exposure twice a week until the significant reduction in SS-10 with a maximal treatment length of 8 weeks. The primary outcome was defined by a 60% decrease in the SS-10 score compared to the baseline.
Twenty-eight subjects (93.3%, 95% CI 77.9 to 99.2%) achieved the primary outcome. A significant reduction in SS-10 was achieved in 77% of subjects in six sessions or fewer. The mean (SD) SS-10 scores were 54.7 (12.1) at inclusion, 14.4 (6.0) at the last session and 13.9 (7.5) 2 months after the last session, suggesting that the benefits persist for a few weeks. These results are shown graphically below:
850nm = Peak Near Infrared (NIR) Absorption Spectra
Karu, et al demonstrated that 850nm was the peak Near-Infrared absorption spectra. Hence the RedDot RD series includes 850nm, to complement the extensively studied 850nm NIR wavelength. In addition, 850nm has shown benefit in the research studies for various applications.
Bone and Joint Health
Multiple human studies have found 850nm light therapy to be beneficial for bone and joint health. One study examined 850nm LLLT in the healing from mandibular distraction osteogenesis surgery and found faster healing and improved mineralization. Another study examined the impact of 850nm LLLT on closed bone fracture (CBF) of the wrist and hand. The study concluded that 850nm “LLLT can relieve pain and improve the healing process of CBFs in the human wrist and hand”.
A plethora of ‘gold standard’ human randomized controlled trials have demonstrated 850nm NIR light to benefit osteoarthritis. An osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis, typically with onset during middle or old age, that is characterized by progressive degenerative changes in the cartilage of one or more joints.
Sports Injuries
One study found examined 850nm LLLT in reducing return-to-play (RTP) time for various injuries in university athletes. The study concluded, “850nm LED phototherapy significantly and safely reduced the RTP in dedicated university athletes over a wide range of injuries with no adverse events.” Another study summarizing LLLT use in a hospital setting concluded that 850nm “LLLT is an effective treatment for sports injuries, particularly jumper’s knee, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendinitis.”
Conclusion
660nm and 850nm LEDs have become the de facto standard in red light therapy devices, in large part because they are easier to source.
At RedDot, we have made the logical (albeit more costly) design decision to evenly distribute the four wavelengths 25% each across the face of the RedDot RD red light panel. This ensures even coverage of each of the four wavelengths, eliminating any ‘polka-dot’ effect and MAXIMIZING EFFICACY. At RedDot, we use our own products daily and are committed to innovation. We are committed to designing and offering the most effective red light therapy products on the market period.
