Red light therapy works best within an optimal range, meaning more time does not always lead to better results. Its benefits follow a balanced response curve, where the right dose and consistency matter more than extended exposure.
Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloRed™ devices are designed to deliver effective results in shorter, efficient sessions—typically just 5 to 15 minutes per day is enough for most users.
Red (620–700nm) and Near-Infrared (800–900nm) light are considered very safe, with extensive research showing no known harmful side effects when used appropriately
Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloRed™ devices are engineered with a strong focus on low EMF output. While any device that runs on electrical current will naturally produce some level of electromagnetic field, our systems are designed to minimize this as much as possible.
At the recommended usage distance of 6 inches or more, our devices produce no detectable EMF levels. This is achieved by using only the essential electrical components needed for performance, without unnecessary additions such as Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity.
In contrast, many smart-enabled devices with apps may continuously emit signals even when not actively in use, which can contribute to ongoing environmental EMF exposure. Abbott HaloBooth™ prioritizes a simplified, low-interference design to ensure a cleaner and more controlled wellness experience.
Beam angle refers to the spread of light emitted from an LED device and plays an important role in how effectively the light reaches your body. A wider beam angle, such as 90 degrees, disperses light more broadly, which can cause the power intensity to reduce more quickly over distance.
A narrower beam angle helps maintain stronger light intensity over a greater distance, making it more effective for full-body or larger-area treatments where users may not be positioned very close to the device.
Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloRed™ devices use a 60-degree narrow beam angle to ensure consistent, therapeutic power density even when used at a recommended distance, delivering more efficient and targeted red light exposure.
Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), works by stimulating the body’s natural cellular energy production. The most widely studied mechanism involves the mitochondria—often called the “powerhouses” of the cell—which are responsible for producing energy needed for all biological functions.
Red and near-infrared light interacts with a photoreceptor in the cells known as cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction helps improve how efficiently the mitochondria use oxygen, leading to increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source for cellular activity.
ATP fuels essential processes in the body such as muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and tissue repair. When cells have more available energy, they function more efficiently, supporting overall wellness and recovery.
Extensive research in photobiomodulation continues to explore these effects, with thousands of scientific studies published on PBM and LLLT mechanisms and applications.
Yes, Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloRed™ lights are third-party tested and verified by independent testing laboratories to ensure performance, safety, and quality standards are met.
While many red light therapy products may look similar, not all brands provide transparent, independently verified testing data. Without this, it can be difficult to confirm the actual output or quality of the device.
At Abbott HaloBooth™, we prioritize transparency and reliability, and our products are backed by both independent testing and consistent real-world user results.
Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloRed™ devices produce a high-intensity light, so safety precautions are important during use. While research continues to explore the potential benefits of red and near-infrared light for certain eye conditions, the light emitted from our devices is very bright and should not be viewed directly.
For this reason, protective goggles are provided and should be worn when facing the light, especially when Near-Infrared (NIR) mode is active. Users should avoid staring directly into the LEDs at any time.
If you have any existing eye conditions or other health concerns, it is recommended to consult a licensed healthcare professional before using red light therapy.
