Benefits
Red and near-infrared light passes a few millimetres into the skin, where cells absorb it and work slightly harder. The effect builds over weeks of regular sessions rather than in one visit.

- 02Healing of blemishes and minor marksIncreased cell activity supports normal repair
- 03Muscle recoveryNear-infrared light reaches muscle and may reduce soreness after exercise
- 04Joint stiffnessWarmth and light together may ease stiff hands, knees and shoulders

Results build slowly and differ from person to person. There is no UV, so no tan and no burn. Eye protection is always provided.
