A: Both red and near-infrared light are wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. Red light wavelengths, 600-700 nm (nanometers), are absorbedby the skin at a high rate.Near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, 760-1400 nm(nanometers), are higher on the electromagnetic spectrum and not visible to the human eye. The human body easily absorbs near-infrared waves up,to 1.5 inches into muscle, fat. and joints

The THEYPET handheld LED light therapy device 10 red-light diodes use 660nm red light which is wavelength that is easily absorbable by the skin. making it especially effective for improve blood circulation and the overall appearance of skin. The 6 near-infrared (NIR) light diodes use 850nm light, which is an invisible light wavelength that penetrates deeply into tissue, organs, and joints to decrease inflammation, relieve pain, and repair cells.

A: The benefits of red light therapy and near-infrared (NIR) therapy are very similar though red light therapy treats cells at the surface of the skin and near-infrared therapy treats cells up to 1.5 inches below the surface of the skin (your muscles, fat. joints. organs. etc. The benefits of red light and near-infrared (NIR) therapy include:

• Improve skin appearance, including sun damage, scars (including acne scars), burns, cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles.
• Energize the lymphatic system, aiding in detoxification.
• Lose inches off the waist, hips, or other treated area.
• Decrease pain inflammation and stiffness in joints muscles, and connective tissues.
• Stimulate collagen and elastin production and cell regeneration, thus improving blood circulation to the skin and the overall appearance of the skin, including reduced cellulite.
• Reduce symptoms of chronic pain disorders such as tendinitis, arthritis rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
• Boost immune system.
• Reduce symptoms of eczema and psoriasis, such as redness, itching,flaking, and swelling.
• Improve sleep quality and mental clarity and focus.
• Reduce cortisol and increases serotonin, reducing stress and depression.
• Promote faster recovery post-workout.

A: It can be used on the shoulders, chest, belly, upper back, neck, head,scalp, thighs, hips legs, feet, arms, and hands. WARNING! Never use it over your eyes, as the lights can damage your eyes.

A: Some of the LEDs are Infrared light which is not visible to the human eye. If you see the red lights on, the unit is on.

A: Yes, red light therapy is safe for animals, and treatments are well-tolerated by pets like dogs and cats. One of the biggest reasons so many vets use red light therapy is because it is a quick, simple, and safe treatment with few, if any, major side effects. This is backed by peer-reviewed clinical research, too.

A: Yes! Vets have been using the red light therapy devices to treat animals for years, but now pet owners can use it to treat their animals in the comfort of home. We use LEDs that deliver safe red and NIR wavelengths of light inside a pet’s crate. This is more affordable than going to the vet regularly, and it is much less stressful for your pets.

A:Yes, red light therapy is one of the fastest growing treatments among veterinarians in the U.S. It is frequently used in animal rehabilitation settings for pain reduction, inflammation reduction, and wound care and healing. Veterinarians also widely use it for chronic pain and mobility issues associated with arthritis treatment. Red light therapy is also used for animal pain relief and injury and wound healing, especially after surgeries.

A: If the animals have skin wound, we recommend starting off with 1-minute treatment sessions with your THEYPET handheld device the first week and working your way up to 3-minute session. For acute pain or a sprain, we recommend starting off with 3-minute treatment sessions with your THEYPET handheld device the first week and working your way up to 5-minute session. For arthritis, inflammation, or chronic pain, we recommend starting off with 5-minute treatment sessions the first week. You can use it 2-3 times a day in either scenario. We recommend using THEYPET handheld device 5-7 days per week, depending on the wellness goals. Do not use continuously for more than 20 minutes, and wait at least 6 hours between 20-minute sessions.

A: For the handheld light therapy to work most effectively, it is best to use THEYPET device directly over bare skin. However, you may use the device to light the hairs, just the effect will be affected.
