What Each Red Light Therapy Wavelength Does
A Complete Guide to Valone’s 9-Wave Spectrum
At Valone, we don’t settle for shallow light therapy.
While most red light therapy panels use just 4–6 wavelengths, Valone delivers a carefully selected 9-wavelength spectrum each chosen for its unique depth, benefit, and biological effect. Ranging from visible red to near-infrared (NIR), these wavelengths interact with your body at different levels from skin cells to deep muscle and beyond.
Here’s a complete breakdown of what each red and near-infrared wavelength does and why this spectrum matters.
480nm – Blue Light for Acne and Skin Clarity
Penetration Depth: Surface (epidermis)
Light Type: Visible (blue spectrum)
Benefits of 480nm:
- Targets acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes)
- Helps reduce breakouts and surface inflammation
- Calms irritated or reactive skin
- Supports clearer, more balanced complexion
Why we include it: For users with acne-prone or sensitive skin, 480nm adds a gentle yet effective antimicrobial effect without UV exposure.
590nm – Amber Light for Circulation and Redness
Penetration Depth: Shallow dermis
Light Type: Visible (amber/yellow spectrum)
Benefits of 590nm:
- Boosts blood flow and lymphatic drainage
- Reduces redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries
- Promotes a healthy glow and even skin tone
- Supports collagen stimulation in sensitive skin
Why we include it: 590nm acts as a bridge between calming blue and energizing red, making it ideal for soothing inflammation and prepping the skin.
630nm – Red Light for Surface-Level Collagen Boost
Penetration Depth: Upper dermis
Light Type: Red light
Benefits of 630nm:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity
- Aids in wound healing and scar reduction
Why we include it: 630nm is one of the most clinically studied wavelengths for skin rejuvenation. It’s a staple in red light facials and anti-aging treatments.
660nm – Deep Red Light for Skin + Muscle Regeneration
Penetration Depth: Mid-to-lower dermis
Light Type: Red light
Benefits of 660nm:
- Accelerates cellular regeneration
- Enhances healing of skin, muscle, and tissue
- Supports inflammation reduction
- Helps reduce pigmentation and sun damage
Why we include it: 660nm offers dual benefits cosmetic and therapeutic. It supports both skin health and light muscle recovery.
670nm – ATP Production and Mitochondrial Function
Penetration Depth: Subcutaneous layer
Light Type: Red light
Benefits of 670nm:
- Enhances ATP energy production in cells
- Supports nerve and neurological repair
- Promotes retinal health and visual function
- Used in studies on neurodegenerative conditions
Why we include it: 670nm plays a key role in cellular energy optimization helping power recovery, regeneration, and longevity.
810nm – Brain + Cognitive Support
Penetration Depth: Deep tissue and potentially blood-brain barrier
Light Type: Near-infrared (NIR)
Benefits of 810nm:
- Improves brain function, focus, and clarity
- Increases cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery
- Supports TBI and concussion recovery
- Helps with mood, sleep, and cognitive decline
Why we include it: 810nm is a favorite in neurotherapy and is being studied for its effects on memory, Alzheimer’s, and anxiety.
830nm – Muscle + Hormonal Recovery
Penetration Depth: Deep muscle, tendons, glands
Light Type: Near-infrared (NIR)
Benefits of 830nm:
- Supports athletic recovery and joint health
- Reduces inflammation deep in soft tissue
- Stimulates ATP in energy-depleted cells
- Aids in hormonal regulation and balance
Why we include it: 830nm is a go-to for recovery, performance, and internal balance ideal for high-performance users.
850nm – Pain Relief + Deep Inflammation Control
Penetration Depth: Muscles, joints, bones
Light Type: Near-infrared (NIR)
Benefits of 850nm:
- Reduces chronic pain and stiffness
- Supports arthritis, injury healing, and joint mobility
- Boosts circulation and detoxification
- Enhances fat metabolism and muscle repair
Why we include it: 850nm is the most widely used NIR wavelength in clinical studies — and a core driver of Valone’s therapeutic depth.
1060nm – Deepest Penetration for Fat Reduction + Tissue Stimulation
Penetration Depth: Subcutaneous fat and connective tissue
Light Type: Near/far-infrared hybrid
Benefits of 1060nm:
- Aids in body sculpting and fat metabolism
- Supports collagen stimulation at deeper layers
- Increases blood flow and heat response
- Enhances tissue oxygenation and cellular repair
Why we include it: 1060nm is rare in most panels — but powerful. It gives Valone panels a next-level edge for body-focused users and hormone optimization.
Why 9 Wavelengths Matter
