What research can and cannot tell us

Research into red and near-infrared light uses many different wavelengths, doses, devices and study groups. We therefore read every outcome within its original context.

A systematic review on whole-body photobiomodulation for exercise performance and recovery

Álvarez-Martínez and Borden

This systematic review brings together research into whole-body photobiomodulation around exercise and recovery.

Limitation: A review of different devices and protocols does not establish an effect for a specific RedLab panel.

Transcranial Photobiomodulation Improves Cognitive Performance in Young Healthy Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Salehpour et al.

This review examined transcranial photobiomodulation and cognitive outcomes in healthy adults.

Limitation: The authors reported heterogeneous data, few studies and modest overall study quality. This protocol is also not equivalent to using a RedLab panel.

Safety and interpretation

These publications are independent research and were not conducted with RedLab products. Their findings must not be read as measured product performance or as a promise of results.

RedLab panels are intended for a light and wellbeing routine, not for diagnosis, treatment or cure. Follow the product instructions and eye-protection guidance. If you have health questions, use medication that increases light sensitivity, or are unsure whether use is suitable, consult a qualified healthcare professional first.
