    uses near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity and healing

    Near-Infrared Light Therapy (NIR Therapy) involves the use of near-infrared light, typically in the wavelength range of 700 to 1200 nanometers, to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. This therapy is used to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, and has applications in treating conditions like alopecia by potentially stimulating hair follicle activity and promoting hair growth.
