Infrared (IR) therapy is a game-changer, but not all wavelengths work the same. Here’s how 850nm and 1072nm compare:
850nm: Reaches 1.2-2.5mm (dermis level)—ideal for collagen stimulation and facial rejuvenation.
1072nm: Goes deeper (3-5mm), targeting muscles and joints—better for body treatments (neck, scalp, sore muscles).
850nm: Fine lines, wound healing, post-procedure recovery
1072nm: Deep inflammation, chronic pain, scalp/hair growth
850nm: Safe for daily home use (no eye protection needed).
1072nm: Stronger but requires protective goggles.
Pro Tip: For facial anti-aging, 850nm + red light (660nm) is the gold standard. For body recovery, 1072nm excels.
