Understanding Light Therapy
Explore the science behind light therapy—from how different wavelengths interact with tissue to the thoughtful technology behind Nioksstil.
How Light Therapy Works
When light reaches the skin, different wavelengths interact with tissue in different ways. The amount of light delivered and the duration of exposure also influence the overall light therapy experience.
01
WAVELENGTH
Determines the type of light.
02
IRRADIANCE
Determines the amount of light delivered.
03
TIME
Determines the duration of exposure.
04
CONSISTENCY
Turns light therapy into a daily routine.
THE SCIENCE OF LIGHT
Not All Light Is the Same.
Different wavelengths have different optical characteristics and interact with tissue differently. Selecting a wavelength is therefore an important part of purposeful light therapy design.
450 nm|Blue Light
Blue light has been studied for its interaction with porphyrins associated with acne-causing bacteria, making it an area of interest in light-based acne applications.
580 nm|Yellow Light
Yellow light has been studied in areas including skin appearance, redness, pigmentation, and photoaging.
630 nm|Red Light
Red light is widely studied in photobiomodulation and skin applications, including cellular activity and processes associated with skin rejuvenation.
830 nm|Near-Infrared
Near-infrared light is widely studied in photobiomodulation, including its interaction with cellular energy pathways and tissue response.
LIGHT & TISSUE
From Light to Tissue.
Light doesn't simply stop at the surface. Its interaction with tissue depends on wavelength and other delivery factors. Explore how different wavelengths are used in light-based systems and why light selection matters.
