Red Light Bed Guide

What is a Red Light Therapy Bed?

A red light therapy bed is a wellness device that uses red and near-infrared light to promote healing, rejuvenation, and recovery. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and muscles, targeting various issues such as pain relief, muscle recovery, and skin rejuvenation. Our LUM-R5500 takes this a step further by offering a 360° full-body cabin and 43,200 LEDs, ensuring complete and even exposure for optimal therapeutic results.

How Does a Red Light Therapy Bed Work?

The wavelengths used in the LUM-R5500—specifically 633nm, 660nm, 810nm, 850nm, and 940nm—stimulate cellular activity. This process increases collagen production, boosts circulation, and reduces inflammation. The LUM-R5500 utilizes an advanced Taiwan LED light source and customizable pulse modulation to enhance each session, tailored to your personal health goals.

Are Red Light Therapy Beds Safe?

Yes, red light therapy beds are completely safe. Unlike UV tanning beds, they do not emit harmful UV rays; instead, they use non-invasive light that heals rather than harms.
