Red Light Therapy Uncovered: The Four Wavelengths That Heal Skin, Muscles & Nerves at My BioHealth
You’ve probably heard of red light therapy — but did you know not all light therapy is created equal? At My BioHealth in Campbellfield, we use a specialised 4‑wavelength system (589 nm, 630 nm, 660 nm & 850 nm) to target everything from skin renewal to deep tissue repair.
In this blog, we’ll break down what each wavelength does, why it matters, and how you might benefit from this advanced wellness treatment. When it comes to light therapy, it’s not just about shining a red glow — it’s about the specific wavelength that determines how deeply the light penetrates and what tissues it affects. The shorter the wavelength (e.g., 589 nm), the more surface-focused the effect. The longer the wavelength (e.g., 850 nm), the deeper it penetrates — reaching muscles, joints and nerves. By combining four distinct wavelengths, My BioHealth’s system covers skin → muscle → nerve, offering a full-spectrum treatment that many other centres don’t.
The Four Wavelengths We Use & What They Do
- 630 nm & 660 nm (Red Light — Superficial Penetration): Boosts mitochondrial energy (ATP) production and collagen synthesis. Clinically supported for: skin rejuvenation (fine lines, wrinkles), wound healing, inflammatory skin conditions (acne, rosacea, eczema), scars & pigmentation, and superficial pain relief.
- 589 nm (Amber/Yellow Light — Intermediate Penetration): Stimulates lymphatic flow, reduces redness, energises cells for radiance and circulation. Clinically supported for: fluid retention, sluggish circulation, skin revitalisation (dull tone, uneven texture), and inflammation & redness.
- 850 nm (Near-Infrared — Deep Penetration): Targets deeper tissue (muscle, joint, nerve), increasing cellular oxygenation and circulation. Clinically supported for: musculoskeletal & joint disorders (osteoarthritis, tendonitis), neuropathic pain & nerve regeneration, sports recovery (DOMS), and chronic wounds.
- Why This Matters for You: Our 4-wavelength approach means integrative recovery and performance support. Benefits include smoother, healthier skin, faster muscle recovery, reduced soreness, and improved joint/nerve circulation.
- What to Expect: Sessions are typically 10-20 minutes in our full-body chamber. There is no downtime. You can combine it with Float Therapy, Compression Therapy, or Cryotherapy for deeper impact.
- Is It Right for You?: Red light therapy is safe for most healthy individuals. Please let us know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have photo-sensitive conditions, or recently had major surgery or implants.
