Red vs Blue vs Near-Infrared Light — What’s the Difference?

Different wavelengths of light support different cosmetic wellness goals. Here’s a simple breakdown of how each works.

Red vs Blue vs Near Infrared Light Comparison Diagram explaining the effects of red, blue, and near-infrared light on skin with corresponding wavelengths and benefits.

Wavelength Comparison

Red Light (~620–660 nm)

Commonly used to support:
• A radiant, healthy-looking complexion
• Smoother-looking skin
• Skin vitality and balance

This range is also closely associated with collagen-supporting cellular activity and overall tissue vitality.

Blue Light (~405–470 nm)

Commonly used in skincare routines focused on:
• Oil control
• Clarity goals
• Fresh-feeling skin

Near-Infrared Light (~800–850+ nm)

Penetrates deeper than visible light and is commonly explored for:
• Deeper wellness support
• Circulation comfort
• Relaxation & recovery sensations

This wavelength category is believed to travel further into tissues, supporting deeper cell activity and wellness experiences.

Used together in a smart routine, these wavelengths support radiant, youthful-looking skin appearance over time.
