Red Light Therapy, or RLT, has become increasingly common in the fitness world. What was previously primarily used in clinics and professional fitness facilities has now become available for home use through modern red light panels.
Whether you work out a few times a week, run races, do strength training or live an active life, recovery is an important part of the whole. That's why many people have started to take an interest in different methods that can become a natural part of their daily routine, and red light therapy is an area that has grown rapidly in recent years.
Why has red light therapy become popular among active people?
One of the biggest reasons is simplicity.
Unlike many other recovery routines, red light therapy requires no dressing changes, transportation, or appointments. With a red light panel at home, the treatment can be performed when it suits you best.
Many also appreciate that the treatment is easy to integrate into everyday life. It can be a matter of a few minutes after a workout or as part of the evening routine.
What is RLT exactly?
RLT stands for Red Light Therapy and is the international name for red light therapy.
Most modern panels use a combination of two wavelengths:
| Wave-length | Type of light |
|---|---|
| 660nm | Visible red light |
| 850nm | Near-infrared light |
660nm is the red light that is clearly visible when the panel is on. 850nm is just outside the human field of vision, which means that some lights may appear to be off even though they are working exactly as they should.
Which panel is best suited for those who exercise?
The choice depends primarily on how large areas you want to be able to treat at the same time.
If you primarily want to use red light therapy for smaller areas, a compact panel may be sufficient. However, for many active people, larger treatment areas are a great advantage as the back, legs, shoulders and other larger muscle groups are often in focus.
| Model | Best suited for |
|---|---|
| IT300 PRO MAX | Face and smaller areas |
| IT900 PRO MAX | Back, shoulders, legs and larger areas |
| IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE | Large treatment areas and maximum coverage |
For people who plan to use red light therapy regularly, a larger treatment area is often both smoother and more comfortable in the long run.
Why do many people choose IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE?
When you look at how the panels are used in practice, it is easy to understand why many choose the largest model.
The extra-wide design allows for significantly larger areas of the body to be covered at once, meaning less need to move the panel between different areas and a more comfortable user experience.
For people who exercise regularly, it is often an advantage to be able to treat larger muscle groups without having to change positions several times during the same session.
How to use red light therapy after exercise?
There are many different ways to use red light therapy and the routines vary between different users.
A common recommendation is:
| Recommendation | Normal use |
|---|---|
| Distance | Approximately 15–30 cm |
| Time | Approximately 10–20 minutes |
| Frequency | Regularly several times a week |
Many people choose to use the panel as a natural part of their post-workout recovery routine.
That's why more and more people are choosing red light therapy at home
In the past, advanced light therapy often required a visit to a clinic or fitness center. Today, the same type of technology can be used at home when it suits you best.
This is an important reason why interest in red light therapy continues to grow among people who want to invest in their recovery and well-being.
