When would you use near infrared light only?

For the application of skin rejuvenation, we normally recommend a combination of red and near infrared LED light for best results*. Red Light is a shorter wavelength and targets the surface layers of the skin.

Near infrared light is a longer wavelength than red light and therefore penetrates deeper into the skin. This makes it beneficial, not only for skin rejuvenation but also for treating deeper tissue. It can be beneficial for muscle recovery and pain relief and could be used without red light for these applications.
