i think our ancestors might have gotten infra red radiation from fire when the sun wasn't shining as much.(like in winter)
@@nebulous962 That's a thought that already passed my mind as well. It's plausible if you ask me
The production value on this is so high and the clarity so concise. Good job!
Complex topics explained really nicely, thanks for sharing mate!
This guy is a real gem
Great presentation! I’m looking to purchase such a device soon.
Incredibly useful video! Thank you and Great Work!
Joovv has horrific review scores 😱. Good video
Thank you for such a nice explanation.
best video on this topic!!
Confirmed the fact that the light penetrates all the to your bones. I thought I would experiment with my eye protection in case I ever forgot my therapy goggles. I took off my goggles and place my fingers over my eyes. No difference in brightness. Put my hands over my eyes. No difference. I’m 65 years old and have noticeably clearer skin and more energy.
Interesting and we'll done video. Glad CZcams recommended. Subscribed 👍
A very well made and informative video...
I have many healings by using red light.. at first I didn’t think it was working but by the 3rd night I realised I’d was working and I swear by it. I have weak knees and now they are strong again, I would wrap my red light band around my knees and leave it on for about an hour.. it’s as if I have new knees. One time I ate something that didn’t agree with me and I had serve arthritic pain throughout my torso so I used the red light belt on my front and back torso for lengthy periods for several nights and it healed it completely. I have used it for other things as well and it works. Nerve damage✅ I had a sore tooth that I was going to have pulled and I did several treatments by holding it against the skin in line with the tooth and it fixed it, I canceled my appointment and my tooth is good. I had a sore ear from wearing a Bluetooth earpiece for 5yrs and it fixed that. I use it for so many things I lay with it on my chest at night when I’m in bed and I feel it clearing my chest and rejuvenating my heart. I know it all sounds crazy but it works.
Wow thanks
Does the LED red light therapy ones work? What brand / type did you get / do you use?
Thank you 🙏🏽
Other than the knees, how do you know the rest healed because of red light and not time?
This is the most informative information on RLT 🙌 thank you SO much for this video.

So glad to find out how great red and "yinfred" light are
Nice info.
Good job !
great info!
Glad you think so! Thank you for watching!
Great video
Thank you 🙏 really happy you liked it 😁
Im 29 years old and tried it for a year and I didn’t really noticed a difference in my facial skin. I don’t have any wrinkles but I have like acne scars on my face, and didn’t noticed anything new, but I did noticed that my tiny stretch marks on my knees and legs dramatically got much much smaller as in it’s almost completely gone. Not sure if I noticed anything different as far as inflammation in my body like my knee pain and neck pain but it really really did helped relax my entire body and mind, and I think sweating because of the heat from the light helped detox my body. It just really helped relaxed my body in general,specially after an annoying busy day.
You should try fasting for more than 24 hours. Triggers autophagy. Won't cure scars.
I love my infrared biomat and celluma LED panel. Been using them for years. Also a big fan of Microcurrent for the benefits to stimulating ATP.
I also have the celluma pro at home 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@thumperhunts6250 not going to be the same as it’s based on technology, quality of diode etc
@@thumperhunts6250 from what I understand you are paying for the high quality bright light. The bulbs need to be strong enough and sit close enough to the skin to get results. Over time just like most other technology I’m sure the price will come down.
@Kian Naicker I’ve found laying under the LED to be a relaxing experience. Not sure it would be my first recommendation for anxiety but I find it soothing.
@@MarsblissGuidedMeditation bonkers we are building rockets to mars but a strong light costs hundrests if not thousands of dollars. Fishy
Would have liked if you went through the hormonal benefits also, but great video.
It helps depression and my hypothyroidism.
What about sleep? Can it also redeem your circadian clock a little bit into balance by helping you feel sleppy and such? Personally what i've done seems to have a bit of an effect... so let's see i always set my monitor to reduce blue light past 9PM, i've actually bought a yellow incandescent light bulb (yellow might skew your circadian rythm a tiny bit but it also gives off heat wich is the infrared radiation) as opposed to to my cold bright white lamp that i have wich probably has the biggest impact so at 9pm i turn that off and i turn on my yellow light and it provides just enough light for me to use my monitor while not being bothered by the contrast but also help me sleep. Really cool.
Can't wait to start using mine for hairless
Health and testosterone. Hope it helps
what about using infrared light heater?
Nice thank you! Been doing red light therapy at home for about 2 months now. It’s amazing ❤️

Mito is rated #1 in brand comparison tests. Best quality, performance & value. They make small devices up to full size panels. See CZcams Channel; PrettyOverFifty for 5% Disc code in video info box. Red LED & Near Infrared light therapy has been extensively researched for decades. Hospitals overseas use it post surgery to improve recovery. Athletes claim it speeds up tissue regeneration & beauty guru's say it has anti-aging benefits. Wishing you success & abundant Blessings.
Thank you 🤗
I just started this done 3x sessions so far..
So, is infrared saunas good to use?

Dear friend can I use red lump or infrared lump ps inform me 💕💕💕
We have many infrared bulbs that were used to raise chicks. Are these of a similar wavelength? How could they be used for this therapy?
Thank you for the great and informative video. Are there any other red light therapy product brands that you recommend besides Joovv? Perhaps something more budget friendly?
Check out the hooga panels. It is more affordable. I just received mine and used it for the first time yesterday. It seems to be pretty powerful. I am hopeful :)
So glad you enjoyed and found our video informative 😁 while there are many other red light therapy brands out there, we can only vouch for Joovv at the moment, because they are the only ones we have thoroughly tested. Despite Joov’s exorbitant pricing, we have found them to be extremely high quality. You can check the review we did on the Joovv devices here: czcams.com/video/CIC80ZkKt9U/video.html
However, we do plan on looking into some other red light therapy companies this year.

@@barefootstrength I don’t know how you can possibly speak about the values of this treatment when you’ve only tried one brand? Are you a dermatologist or an aesthetician? Have you been specifically trained in this modality?
Wondering if the red light therapy could help with Chrones Disease??
I just convinced my grandma to get a red light therapy lamp. She has muscle soreness, inflammation and arthritis.... so she got a bulb you can plug into a bendy light and point it to particular place in the body that is sore. I'm going to test it out too just because of the anti aging abilities, calming affects, mood boosting. I actually heard people are using this now to boost libidos too ahaha
You have to make sure you are getting the right red light frequency for the light to be effective. Just using a bulb that gives off red light is not enough. You will save a alot of money but it will be a waste of time.You won't get the health benefits you are looking for.
Did it help?
so
any updates please?
I know this comment is 1 year old but I believe LED red lights are what you should aim for. Also copper bracelets might help her.
Best IR light is sunset and sunrise, just a few minutes, before/after.
If you have lactic acidosis can red light therapy help diminish the lactate?
dear sir howmany minutes daily used each person .please reply sir.thank q.
Vitamin D is also very important to general health, testosterone production, immune response, etc. That requires exposure to UVB light. Of course you also have to be careful with UVB light because of potential cancer and dna damage.
How can I obtain a unit for myself
@@dirkkriel6055 You could also go outside during the daytime. The more exposed skin the better. Without vitamin D and cholesterol your body cannot make testosterone properly.
@@dirkkriel6055 Sun screen literally prevents your body from making vitamin D. Just be careful in limiting exposure times at first. You want your skin to brown not burn. Real sunlight does wonders for your body.
UVB light isn’t good for you whatsoever
@@missdee3787 Your body can't make vitamin D without it.
Can I buy the infrared light from Amazon? Are those effective?
I am very interested in this, been researching for the last couple of weeks…very interested in melatonin created in the mitochondria and how it works!
Is melatonin created in the mitochondria???
what is the best kind of red light therapy ?
Please can you provide links to research papers to back up your claims
Fantastic information and great channel. I hope you grow. Try spending a few dollars promoting your videos in the first 30 minutes after publishing. Good luck
do you mean on youtube or promote else where?
How do these positive effects translate to red lamps like RUBYLUX bulbs? Thanks!
hello... amazing .,,,,a question what will be the correct wavelength NM to renew or repair the collagen and elasticity ? do i use red ,.far red,, infrared or all of them ? thank you
The feeling of the sun in Greece is awesome. You just can't compare it to other countries.
Does it help wrinkles
Here are some key takeaways from the video:
* Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissues and stimulate cellular energy production.
* This may lead to benefits like improved skin health, hair growth, reduced inflammation, faster wound healing, better sleep, and enhanced athletic performance.
* It's important to manage expectations and remember that red light therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
I got the redrush 720. On my third day of use. So far so good.
I use the redrush app which gives timed dosages. I also read on the Joov website that you want to be about 4 or 5 inches away from the unit to have any kind of therapeutic effect.
I think redrush is a good product based in what I read from Ari's book. But their website needs more instructions and information on how to use red light. I think Joovs website has got the best info. So obviously I'm cross referencing....

How to Use a Joovv
From out of the box, to your first red light therapy treatment, here are the basics:
Set up your Joovv: Your Joovv device requires straight-forward, one-time assembly. Check out our Setup Guidesfor specifics on each device.
Turn on Your Joovv: To start your Joovv device, flip the power switch, set your treatment time on the control panel, and hit the play button to start a treatment.
Note on LEDs: Some of the LEDs may appear like they’re not working, when they’re actually on and delivering near infrared light that is invisible to the human eye. The red light a Joovv delivers is clearly visible-you can’t miss it!
Treatment Guidelines for Joovv Light Therapy
For the most biologically effective red light therapy, follow these treatment guidelines:
Position Yourself 4-6 Inches from Your Joovv: You can sit or stand, but clinical research and user experiences have demonstrated that 4-6 inches is the ideal distance during a treatment.
Treatment For Beginners: We recommend starting out with 1-2 minute treatments per area, slowly working up to a 10-minute session(s) over the course of 2-3 weeks as your body acclimates to the therapy.
10-15 Minute Treatment Times: 10-minute treatments at 4-6 inches from your device is optimal. 15-20 minutes for symptomatic areas may be beneficial, but beyond that, the evidence points to diminishing returns (your cells can only absorb so much light at once). For this reason, we recommend you allow at least 6 hours between treatments of the same area.
Daily Use is Optimal: To get the most out of your Joovv, consistency is key. We recommend once daily use, although 2-3 times per day may be beneficial for symptomatic areas. If you have to miss some days, we suggest at least using your Joovv 5 times a week. Sporadic treatments are similar to sporadic workouts; you may benefit that day, but for longer-term, full-body health effects, you need to be consistent.
Any Time of Day: Use your Joovv when it works best for you! Some people love how it feels in the morning and say it perks them up for the day. Others wait until before or after a workout for max energy and recovery. And many use Joovv at night, or as an alternative to bright, artificial lights after dark. The important thing is fitting red light therapy into your daily routine, regardless of what time.
Targeting Problem Areas: Many of the health benefits from red light therapy can be attained by consistent, full-body use. For example, you don’t need to target your thyroid gland to treat symptoms of thyroid disorders. However, it can be beneficial to target specific physical problem areas like sore joints or burns. In those cases, direct treatments for 10-20 minutes allows natural light to penetrate deeper into tissue for greater effect.

Exposing Your Skin for a Joovv Treatment
For effective Joovv use, the area of your body that you’re treating needs to be exposed directly to the light. Clothing prevents the red and near infrared light from reaching your cells, so be sure to remove any garments from the part of your body you’re treating.
Clothing: Many Joovv users with full-body devices prefer to Joovv in the nude. Delivering natural light to more surface area of your body leads to better light therapy outcomes, but full nudity is not necessarily required for effective, full-body Joovv use. Lighter garments like underwear, bras, shorts, and socks may be worn without hampering a treatment, though the covered areas not exposed directly to the light won’t receive any benefits.
Makeup: You can still benefit from Joovv treatments while wearing makeup, but for optimal use, we recommend removing it and cleaning your skin so more natural light can reach your cells.
Eyes / Glasses: You may safely remove your eyeglasses and contacts for treatments. Red light therapy has been shown in numerous clinical trials to support eye health and vision. However, the LED lights can be quite bright, so we don’t recommend looking at them directly. If it’s too bright, we recommend closing your eyes until it’s comfortable to open them. You may also wear sunglasses. See FAQs below for LASIK questions.
Water: Dry yourself after bathing or swimming before starting a Joovv treatment. Avoid using your Joovv in an area with excess water. Our devices are constructed with airplane-grade materials, but they’re still electrical devices, so out of caution, it’s best not to use th
@@mayrajvasquez5040 Joov is the leader in redlight so I would go with their instructions
10 INCHES AWAY IS BETTER
Great video. Quick question- wouldn't our cells die faster as it can't regenerate endlessly and we are forcing it to regenerate faster?
So the light does not need to be red?It can be any led powerful enough?Correct?The reason i ask is i am considering making one
Can red and blue grow lights perform the same way as the ones being sold for skin therapy? The wavelengths are reported to be the same of very close. And they are much cheaper.
Blue light is the slowest frequency there is. Purple is a mixture of red and blue. Red is the fastest wave. When you mix the two, the blue slows down the combined 2. The intensity is also important to how strong it can affect the out come. The angle of the wave will also make a difference. If the frequency is within the range of effect it might work but if the intensity is too low it won't work. Kind of like flash light batteries can be put together to make 12 volts but it won't start your car. The amps are too low. There is a lot more to this but that might help.
I have not been able to find any good information on this. I have a grow light for my finicky plants. Today I trialed some red light exposure. I am very curious if this can be useful
Just buy a brooding or reptile infrared bulb.
@@jameskelly6479 red is the slowest visible, blue is second fastest visible after violet
Anyone try red light therapy for acid reflux?
3:35 That's a big claim. Do you have any references for that?
How much did JOOVV pay you to read the teleprompter?
If one were to just buy the LED's with the proper frequency of light and make their own panel would that be sufficient? The off the shelf units are quite expensive.
Yep trouble is finding leds with best bandwidth like 810nm ...
We have tubelight which emits white light , possibly which contains red light in spectrum , why can't i see benefits
Cuando nacemos... la bilirrubina está baja... con rayos infrarrojos.. se mejora.... Sol. O una luz ultravioleta. Haga su estudio y verán la diferencia

Hello, my girlfriend recently got lupus. When she is in direct sunlight for too long it causes her to feel really bad.I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on red light therapy and its effectiveness for people with autoimmune diseases or if you could perhaps let me know here. Thank you for your time.
He answered your question in the video. At 6:20.
@@Lindasromperroom Unfortunately he does not specifically talk about Lupus at 06:20. I'm hoping for more of a comprehensive breakdown.
Auto immune diseases should be modulated through diet, light snd sound therapy (vibrational therapy) bc its chronic and inflammatory, which means it affects the emotional and mental wellbeing. Her reaction is likely due to dysautonmia..dysregulation of things like temperature homeostasis,, heart palpitations, sweating,, etc.I myself have a serious genetic condition. Liposomal vitamin C and primary food as well as secondary food. She is a sensitive/hypersensitive person so everything taken into account : only whole foods. Nothing processed. Lots of water. Physical activity and ChI Gong (I think it's called) increases lymphatic system , detox of cells and circulatory system. Have her vitamin and nutrient levels checked . And iodine levels checked. People w lupus do better when living near bodies of water. Reiki.
I'd be happy happy help, I'm a holistic nutrition ans health counseler, massage practioner and going on for my sound and vibrational certification.

Which light, blue, red, nir is good for skin that is always red?
You mean rosacia? Better consult a doctor or you have to check yourself
That would be cool if there was a video on CZcams explaining the benefits of red light therapy which did not contain a referral link
Got to the end of the "What is red light therapy?" section and still didn't know what "red light therapy" is. Do you just sit in a room with a red light bulb or what? I'm off to see if I can find a video that explains it
So true. We know the Theory just give us the practical way of applying it. What a waste of time
It’s the same as a tanning bed, but red light instead of UV. I mean he showed it in the first 2 minutes of the video lol
@@ladycarizza47 there is a red light pen. Do I spend 8 hours a day scanning my entire body? Or the pen is to be used on small animals? Now we know why did the chicken cross the road. To get to the red light therapy pen
Chill bro it's in the middle of video..I do blue light it's much easier and same results.
@@Rickswars he literally says in the video blue light doesnt work. It only penetrates the first layer.
So by using an Infrared Sauna it can help to detox & repair damaged cells And it isnt just a feel good factor?
You are referring to Far infrared Light not Near Infrared Light, which is what we covered in the video. Nevertheless, Infrared saunas using longer Infrared wavelengths work on the same principals we discussed in the video. They could definitely have a positive affect on the body too. We plan to do more research on these types of saunas in the future. Stay tuned ;)
I'm using a Far Infrared Portable Sauna not sure if theres any difference between an actual Infra Red Sauna?
@@jonathanhadley2555 Where did it come from?
What’s better? Red or Infrared?
Whenever I would use my phone/laptop at night my eyes would hurt. Even with a low-light setting, a blue-light filter, and the room bathing in warm light. I got myself a smart RGB lightbulb, fired up the red at max strength. My eyes stopped hurting just after a few minutes of exposure to it. It's crazy. Plus, I've noticed that I sleep better now.
Also, just for fun, I tried switching to blue light. I felt like someone hit me with a hammer. Ouch. Went back to red, and I feel great. I'm guessing this light isn't strong enough to actually heal wounds, like in those professional infrared devices, but it's sure as hell doing *something* to my body, and I like it :)
is the light at planet fitness actually the same thing as red light?
No one shows how to use a boogaloos pro there is no user manual please help

When something works wouldn’t you want to endorse it?
He's got an affiliate link in the bio. This sounds like an endorsement because it is. From what I could tell there's similar units available at more affordable prices, some of which might even be better than Juuve.
The science is legit. I use photobiomodulation for the brain. The results are phenomenal. If skeptical do your own research. Videos like these are great for disseminating information but it is wise to follow up with your own research.
