Wavelength Control
810nm is the industry standard in laser therapy because it shows the best balance of penetration depth while still yielding a strong photo-chemical reaction. We call 810nm the "primary wavelength" for treating anything deep. If you analyze PBM research, you will see that is the pinnacle of of performance. We feel like no other wavelength beats 810nm so our systems are 25% of the total power is allocated to 810nm. It is centered within the therapeutic window and shows the highest efficacy in causing a deep tissue photochemical reaction.
A great supplement to the 810nm diodes. This wavelength provides much of the performance as much more expensive 810nm diode but helps keep the cost of the pod down. We would never use 850nm as the primary wavelengths for PBM (based on research) but it help us have wavelength diversity and this is a common wavelength in PBM systems.
Several successful US manufacturers say 600nm to 660nm is the best wavelength. This wavelength is absorbed more by the melanin in the skin and by the blood. This band is the most accepted wavelength for cosmetic applications (stays closer to the surface) and it does have some interesting properties. Many of the companies that focus on 600 to 660nm shift the emphasis to pulsing the diodes and not dosage. Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that this is true so we also included independently controlled diodes at 630nm.
Slightly above this wavelength is the 900nm to 980nm range. This range is the dominant choice in US-made high-dosage class-4 systems or High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) devices. Originally equipment was built in these wavelengths because the diode was cheap because they are used in high volumes in surgical lasers (Early on, you could not even buy a 10 watt 810nm diode). This wavelength is much less efficient than the 800nm range at pushing the energy deep because 900 nm to 980nm is outside the therapeutic window. After all, it naturally excites water molecules so much of the energy is converted into heat.
Because the ReGed Pod is cloud connected, it is constantly improving while all other pod quickly go obsolete. Our proprietary architecture allows
the ReGed pod to evolve and improve through overnight software updates. PBM technology is constantly changing and the ReGed Pod will change with it. Since every ReGen Pod owner is part of our ecosystem, we are gathering data about what works and what fails. Then, we use this information to make the pod better.
For anyone who it looking at PBM as long-term way to help a lot of people, the ReGen Pod stands head and shoulders above the rest.
We understand purchasing a Pod is a large investment and the process of adding it to your new or existing business can be overwhelming. That's why we never outsource the installation and setup of your system. We use the same team for each system to guarantee the quality you deserve. Because we care about your success, the ReGen Pod is a turnkey solution that includes customizing your installation using our custom software, training you on how to maximize efficacy and helping you with great marketing materials. Because we operate a fully-functional wellness center called Light House Health, we know what you need to succeed and we are there to help you. Every system comes with a custom marketing package combining our proven flyers, posters and support literature with your branding so that you can focus on your customers and growing your business.
From training manuals to the human support you need, we will train you and your staff in daily pod operation, help you master the software, and provide support whenever you need it. From post-installation in-depth training to any inquiries you may have in the future, we provide the best support in the industry.
The ReGen Pod costs about .27 ¢ per session to operate. Because the ReGen Pod features a rich customer-focused experience through our kiosk and a huge library of custom protocols, it can keep your customers happy and engaged with minimal or no staff required. There are very few other options that offer this level of customer experience with such little overhead.

Like Anything, frequency of use is different for each individual. For first time users we recommend 3 times a week on average. For those who have more serious and urgent health issues, once a day will provide the maximum benefit.

Most people are familiar with tanning beds that use UV light to darken the skin and to release vitamin D. This wavelength of light is also well known for its ability to cause skin damage, accelerate aging and help cancer grow. This is why the American cancer association recommends sunscreen to block this portion of the sun's spectrum. Although it has some positive applications, humans should avoid this wavelength in general.
The ReGen Pod avoids these wavelengths and uses both Red (637nm) and Near Infra-Red (NIR). Red is the wavelength used for most cosmetic applications, but it is also commonly used for therapeutics including wound management, dermatitis, and collagen production. It is also nice that it is visible so you can see when a therapy device is turned on.
Invisible NIR light, especially at 810 nm, has the best depth of penetration in tissue of any wavelength. This energy is within the "therapeutic window" so it is very efficient at being driven deep into the tissue where is forms a photo-chemical reaction (not a photo-thermal reaction). We also use 850nm and 940nm as they are within the "therapeutic window" and add some wavelength diversity.
Infra-Red light (starting around 950 nm) light is commonly used in surgical lasers because it is rapidly turned into thermal energy (heat) that can be used to cut tissue. Any photons that are converted into thermal energy cannot be converted into chemical energy, which is what we really want. Most Saunas operate above 950 nm so they are really heaters and not PhotoBioModulation (PBM) devices.
PBMT is FDA registered as an inflammation control device so this will be the primary benefit received. That being said, shorter recovery times, reduction in pain, increases in energy, and improved sleep are some of the main benefits you should expect to see.
There are short and long term results we achieve when using the ReGen Pod. Following your appointment it is common to receive a boost in energy and mood, this can be as immediate as 5 minutes after your treatment. Longer term results like pain reduction and inflammation control are most often achieved after using the device 3-6 times.
Our Blog & Research section of our site as well as online videos can be great sources of information when learning about Photobiomodulation. We are also more than happy to speak over the phone and in person about any questions you may have regarding PBMT.
