"wavelengths between 710 and 1100 nm are absorbed by complexes of the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria . . . "
"Phototherapy, or laser therapy, specifically using near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths of light (~ 800–950 nm), is a therapeutic modality that is increasingly being utilized by clinicians as a treatment paradigm for acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries and/or disorders. Specifically, NIR light therapy is currently used by clinicians to manage and/or suppress pain, muscle fatigue, osteoarthritis, inflammation, and improve repair and regeneration for soft tissue injuries."
"Clinical evidence suggests that NIR light therapy is an efficacious treatment paradigm that penetrates deep tissues, particularly muscle, and promotes tissue regeneration . . . "
There is lots of info online about near infrared. This was from just one article:
"Effect of near-infrared light exposure on mitochondrial signaling in C2C12 muscle cells" - ScienceDirect
Sunlight contains all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes near infra red, although in winter not much is available to the average person. Interestingly, my parents bought a carbon arc sun ray lamp for this reason. Besides radiant heat it emitted UV.
It's not infrared, it's NEAR infrared and it can penetrate.
So what is the wavelength of this near infrared of which you write compared with infra red ?

But it's "heavy on" the visible and infrared frequencies.
Yes, I know that, but why go to a doctors surgury ?
