Why Wavelengths Matter

Different wavelengths penetrate tissue at different depths. Some wavelengths interact primarily with skin and surface tissues, while others reach deeper muscle, joint, and connective tissues. Wavelength selection influences penetration depth, therapy goals, and potential applications for both human wellness and veterinary support.

Wavelengths Used in Helio Systems

850 nm — Deep Penetration Therapy

850 nm is widely used in full-body photobiomodulation systems because it penetrates deeper tissues. Potential applications may include full-body wellness therapy, muscle recovery, circulation support, and mobility support in both humans and animals.

830 nm — Muscle & Joint Support

This wavelength penetrates deeper soft tissues and is commonly studied for musculoskeletal applications. Potential applications may include joint comfort, mobility support, rehabilitation therapy, and veterinary mobility support.

810 nm — Deep Tissue Photobiomodulation

This near-infrared wavelength penetrates deeper tissues compared to visible red light. It is commonly studied in deeper muscle and neurological photobiomodulation research. Potential applications may include muscle recovery, circulation support, and deeper tissue therapy.

660 nm — Cellular Energy Support

660 nm is one of the most widely studied wavelengths in photobiomodulation research. It is associated with mitochondrial activity and cellular energy production. Potential applications may include skin health, tissue repair, muscle recovery, and wound healing support in both humans and animals.

630 nm — Skin & Surface Tissue Support

630 nm red light primarily interacts with the upper layers of the skin and superficial tissues. It is commonly studied for skin rejuvenation and surface-level tissue support. Potential applications may include skin wellness, coat and skin health in animals, and surface tissue support.

Why Helio Uses Multiple Wavelengths

Combining red and near-infrared wavelengths allows devices to support both surface tissues and deeper structures. This multi-wavelength approach enables broader therapy applications for skin health, muscle recovery, joint comfort, and overall wellness. This approach is commonly used in both human wellness technologies and veterinary photobiomodulation systems.
