What even is Red Light Therapy?!

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is the use of low-level red and near-infrared light, usually from LED panels, applied to the surface of the skin for a set time. The field is known scientifically as photobiomodulation (PBM) and is an active area of research. Unlike a tanning bed, HELIOS panels emit no UV light, and they’re designed for home use as part of a daily wellness routine. HELIOS panels are consumer wellness devices, not medical devices.

How does red light therapy work?

At a cellular level, the light is absorbed by molecules inside cells, notably cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme found in the mitochondria. Researchers study how this absorption influences ATP, the molecule cells use for energy, and the release of nitric oxide. Study results depend on the device and dose used, so they don’t automatically apply to every panel. That’s why we focus on what can be measured and shared: wavelengths, irradiance and coverage. You can explore the research on our Science of Red Light Therapy page.

What do 660nm and 850nm mean?

Nanometres (nm) measure the wavelength of light. 660nm is deep red light, which you can see. 850nm is near-infrared (NIR), which is invisible to the human eye, so NIR LEDs can look dim or switched off even when they’re working normally. These are the two benchmark wavelengths in photobiomodulation research, which is why every HELIOS panel combines both. On HELIOS 3 panels you can set red and NIR independently.

How do I use a red light therapy panel?

As a general starting point, use the panel for 10 to 15 minutes per area, at a distance of 15 to 30cm, with the skin bare and uncovered. Many people use theirs once a day, five or six days a week. Consistency matters more than long sessions, because more isn’t necessarily better. Always wear the eye protection supplied and follow the manual. If you’re pregnant, have a medical condition, are light-sensitive or take medication that increases light sensitivity, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using

What should I look for when buying a red light therapy panel?

Look at the specs, not just the headline wattage, which doesn’t tell you how much light reaches you. Check:

Wavelengths: 660nm and 850nm.
Irradiance: quoted in mW/cm², with the distance it was measured at.
Coverage: panel size against the area you want to cover, and whether you’ll use a stand, door hanger or wall mount.
Warranty: all HELIOS panels carry a 5 year warranty.
Support: UK stock, 60-day returns and free next-day delivery.

Our Ethos from founder, Dan

Back in 2019, when we started HELIOS from our little flat in Rochester, Kent, red light therapy (RLT) felt overwhelming and out of reach. At the time, it seemed like the US was far ahead, and there weren’t many options here in the UK. Over the years, RLT has become associated with "biohackers" and wrapped up in a performance-driven, elitist world, often with sky-high prices.

At HELIOS, we believe RLT should be for everyone, no matter your needs or reasons for using it. It’s an incredible therapy with so many benefits, and we’re committed to making it simple and affordable. We don't do flashy sales or inflate our prices. From day one, we offer you the best price we can, always.
All the best,
Dan

Voices of our Customers

Discover Why Our Customers Love HELIOS Red Light Therapy
I consider this a real investment into my health and researched lots of options before purchasing - the Helios 2 was a perfect size for the cost and I was reassured by having a UK stockist. The light arrived very quickly and works perfectly - I use it twice a day in the morning and evening and I feel it’s already making a big difference to my mood and energy. I would not hesitate to recommend
