Pulsing & Red Light Therapy - Make Sure You Know THIS

Here are all the products I mentioned in my pulsed red light therapy video:

And before I take a deep dive into red light therapy pulsing, check out these resources on the topic:

Welcome to my pulsing red light therapy experiment. Hopefully, you've learned that the power output of pulsed red light therapy is much lower, so you'll have to deal with that. Independent researchers have shown this link between pulsing and red light therapy power output exists. Your power levels might

I see your point Alex but we are talking about more or less energy received by our bodies, not how our body reacts to it! As I understand it, red light creates a stress inside the cells, so the longer the session, the more stress to the cell. If we take into consideration that only amount of light is important, your point is 100% right. What if the pulsing of light creates actually more stress to the cells comparing to constant light? Imagine constant light as gentle rubbing your skin and pulsing light as punching your skin 10x per second. What would create more stress? What if pulsing light create more stress in the cellular level therefore creating more benefits in shorter time? My gut tells me that amount of light is not the only factor here and we might actually get more benefits shortening the pulsing session instead of making it longer. What if pulsing increase the stress factor by 2x? You would need 2x shorter session to get the same benefits than without pulsing. Think about your owen, traditional owen takes 20 min at 200° to cook a pie, when you have oven with a fan it takes shorter time and/or less temperature 180° . What if pulsing does the same in the therapy? By increasing the stress to out cells, increasing the benefits at lower time? These are just my thoughts but I would love to see a proper research on that. I think taking into consideration only how much light our body received during the session and not factoring the effects of pulsing might be a big omission. Great that you have time and resources to investigate it. You know most of the companies, perhaps you can suggest to do some research on that.

More red light is not always beneficial. Pulsing light does push the cells to detox squeeze release, squeeze release. Also leds have more lumens (more light) at lower wattages & they produce less heat due to the lower watts. So measure the lumens not the watts.

I have been using RLT for a year with great results. Initially I didn’t see ANY advantages in pulsing. I still think the therapeutic value is the same whether you use pulsing or not. However, with pulsing, I can place the device closer to my body without heating up my skin too much. This helps the infrared penetrate deeper into my body without burning my skin.

Not saying that pulsing brings extra therapeutic value, but it has its use case. Here is my findings: my infraredi flex mid is a lot less powerful than my Biomax 300. Without pulsing, it generates a lot more heat (on the surface of the panel) while not having nearly as much therapeutic light : so Biomax is clearly better. However, once I started using Pulsing, I can place the infraredi very close to my skin without feeling as much heat. And it now has similar effects as the Biomax. ( Although I still prefer the Biomax！）

Thanks for sharing, definitely something to take into account to get the best use of these expensive devices for health!

[jennyjohnson]

Thank you so much for this video and for your time and effort into the research that you are sharing. God bless you!

Alex.. you need to be careful with equating Watts to optical irradiance like this. You really need to measure it! The reason is that LED efficiency will be different for pulsed mode than continuous power due to heating effects. As such, while overall you are correct that pulsed will be reduced overall power, it is not quite as simple as multiplying max power by duty cycle.

Alex, I know you are doing a review soon of many different panels ……was wondering when that might be. I am ready to buy but am waiting ( impatiently mind you!) until your opinion of a couple of them. I have listen to last year’s but new things have come out.
Thanks for doing this work!

[gretavains]

Well amazing. You are right about that. I don't think they know either? NIR? I just learnt a lot! Thank you very much appreciated 🌹 🇭🇲 Alex. I have the ROJO-1500

Pulsed mode has a definite impact on- for instance, to treat dry eyes, my eye surgery center offers pulsed red light therapy for dry eyes

Hi Alex, great posting. Would you agree with Bev Sanderson who recently appeared on ´The Honest Channel ´ ( YouTube) entitled ´ Free Radicals and Red Light’ where she said; ´if you use pulse light it would really help to buffer the free radicals because when the light is on it is producing ATP and you’ll get the free radicals but when you turn the light off the cell uses up its ATP reserve and the free radicals then start to disappear….
So…..maybe with pulse you get less powerful red light but you get the benefits of diminishing free radicals. Thanks for all your time and effort to inform the public.

Great video Alex. I have a pulsed panel and I was using the pulse mode then tried continuous wave and realized that I was getting more total light therapy using continuous wave per session so I just use continuous wave now. I would still use pulsed mode for brain treatments or if it was shown to be of benefit anywhere else. Otherwise I am sticking with continuous wave.

Ive used 250watts infared
the heat was wonderful for muscles the more on body the more calming effect. Put me to sleep. I wonder if this was a dehydration effect more than a nitric oxide effect? So the 850 mn led light with lower watts. Has a heating effect also it is invisible light. Im sure you can gather my questions. Im thinking the 850 mn led light is penetrating just as deep as the 250 watt infared bulb but not producing the drying heat.

low Hz for deeper tissues – higher/continuous mode for external tissues with less session time.

[BobDiaz]

Another factor with pulsing is Duty Cycle. With a 50% Duty Cycle, the light is on 50% of the time, but with a 75% Duty Cycle, the light is on 75% of the time. I'm not sure if manufacturers allow for longer Duty Cycles, but it would make a difference in the total light output.

I have read and seen on the nerve doctor video that for neuropathy you must use pulsing, but cause the constant light on the nerve endings will quit listening to constant red light posing like we’ll help the neuropathy nerve doctor says-if you have any thoughts on this far nerve endings, please share your thoughts with us

[bonnizan]

My question is i tend to get age spots malasma when I use 10 mins of 850 lumens light. Will the pulse lesson this effect. Im thinking the light is drying my skin cells & making them clump closer together thus the effect.

[ninaotan]

Thank you Alex, this video however stays the obvious. It is also begs a question: what are benefits of pulsing. They may be more important than receiving less energy.

[dawnkanne]

Have you ever tested a nasal type of unit? Or one that can be used in the nose, mouth, ears, etc..

Recently saw a guest in the honest channel recommending pulsing to combat free radicals, thoughts ???
