Your complete guide to understanding light therapy — with real, practical ways to use it at home.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses visible light in the 600–700 μm range, which sits close to the surface of the skin. Because it does not generate heat, it’s gentle, comfortable and perfect for daily facial use.
If you’re looking for a skin-focused device, the Serenflux LED Face Mask is engineered specifically for these wavelengths, offering full coverage from your forehead to cheeks and under-eye area.

Red light is ideal for building a consistent skincare ritual that supports surface-level rejuvenation.
What Is Infrared Light Therapy?
Infrared (IR) light falls in the 700–1100 μm range, and unlike red light, it is invisible. The major difference? It can penetrate up to 1.5 inches into the body.
This deeper reach makes it especially useful for muscles, joints, active recovery, and mobility.
If you want deeper support, a full-body panel is the better choice.
Serenflux panels (H1520 / H760 / H320) combine red + NIR to deliver both surface and deep benefits.
