Infrared has both heat and red light (which cannot be seen). Sometimes they put in red bulbs because people need to “see” to believe something is happening.

Red light therapy that is FDA-approved is dramatically different than common infrared bulbs. The medical grade devices emit light only at specific frequencies that have been scientifically proven to impact the body’s ability to increase mitochondrial function that increases cellular ability to produce energy. Research has shown long covid patients have dramatically reduced cellular ability to produce energy. The medical grade RLT uses only the wavelengths proven to address that problem and they produce very little heat.
