Wellness In A New Light

What Is Light Therapy?

Light therapy is non-invasive, comfortable to use, and designed to fit easily into your daily routine.

LED Light Therapy (or photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of therapeutic light to support everyday wellness. It is designed for regular use without tanning the skin, unlike UV light from the sun. Different wavelengths support different wellness goals. Like exercise or skincare, light therapy works best when used consistently.

What Is Light Therapy?

The Journey of Light

Light Reaches Your Skin
The Process

Light Reaches Your Skin

Specialized LEDs emit carefully selected wavelengths of light that are absorbed at different depths beneath your skin.

Your Cells Respond
Cellular Response

Your Cells Respond

Inside your cells, mitochondria convert nutrients into the energy your body uses every day. A naturally occurring enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase absorbs specific wavelengths of light, helping support this normal energy production.

Good to Know
Red and near-infrared (NIR) light are the most commonly used wavelengths because they penetrate to different depths beneath the skin.

Why Do Different Colors Matter?

Why Do Different Colors Matter?

Not all light is the same.

Different wavelengths are selected for different wellness goals. That's why Nanoleaf Wellness products use a combination of carefully chosen light wavelengths depending on the device and wellness mode.

Your Body Responds

When light is absorbed by your cells, it helps support normal cellular energy production. This energy powers your body's natural processes, while supporting healthy circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrients where they're needed. Together, these processes help support recovery, renewal, and everyday wellness.
