Near Infrared LED Therapy
@Aaron, I didn’t know you knew so much about red LED’s for therapy. Great info you’ve posted.
Seems the popular term now is (NIR) Near Infrared LED Therapy.
“Wavelengths in the 600-700 nm range are chosen for treating superficial tissue, and wavelengths between 780 and 950 nm are chosen for deeper-seated tissues, due to longer optical penetration distances through tissue. Wavelengths between 700 and 770 nm are not considered to have much activity”. -From: Michael R. Hamblin: MECHANISMS OF LOW LEVEL LIGHT THERAPY
I don’t know all too much about this topic myself as yet, but seems like something one could get into easily enough. DIY LED Arrays, LED Drivers etc, or just buy a pre-made device.
We’ll be hosting our local expert, Dr Warwick Raymont of Stolair Research as our guest speaker in July 2014 speaking on this topic. (See web page, Professional Papers; Light Therapy). soltairresearch
