How Does Red Light
Therapy Work

Red and near-infrared light reach your cells and give them more energy to work with. Here's the sequence.

Mitochondria absorb light and turn it into cellular energy, much like photosynthesis in plants.

That light drives production of adenosine triphosphate, the body's energy currency.

A cell with more energy on hand repairs itself, replicates, and does its job better.

That energy supports collagen production, circulation, and a balanced inflammatory response.

Near-infrared penetrates deeper beneath the skin than visible red light, which is why it's relevant to muscle, joint, and connective tissue at depth.

R+| NIR+™

The Science Of
Perfected Spectrum

Seven wavelengths: 480nm, 630nm, 660nm, 810nm, 830nm, 850nm, and 1060nm. All seven fire at once, every session.

They aren't split evenly, because your body doesn't absorb them evenly. 660nm and 850nm carry the largest share and the other five are weighted around them. The chart shows our output against what your body takes in.

That's the R+ | NIR+ spectrum. It's why a BIOMAX session isn't the same as sitting in front of any panel that glows red.

Why PlatinumLED
Lights Are Superior

Output you can verify before you buy 102.62 mW/cm². That's the BIOMAX PRO Ultra, measured six inches out and averaged across a 49-point grid by LightLab International.

An independent lab produced that number, not our own meter, and it's a grid average rather than a peak. Every panel in the line has its own report, and all of them are downloadable here before you spend a dollar.



Then ask whoever you're comparing us to for theirs. Look at the distance, and look at whether their figure is an average or a peak. That difference is where a lot of this category's marketing hides.

What Chip Architecture Changes About Distribution

Some brands pack two wavelengths into one diode and switch between presets. It sounds like an upgrade. It isn't a power upgrade, because a panel's strength comes from the LEDs and how hard they're driven, not from how the wavelengths are packaged.

The cost shows up in the mix. Split a diode evenly between two wavelengths and the bands your body absorbs slowly come up short. The ones it takes in fast get more than they need. Panels built that way also tend to run fewer bands at a time.

BIOMAX runs dedicated single-chip LEDs. Every wavelength lands at the level the research calls for, and all seven run from the second you switch on.
