Near Infrared Light Therapy Helmet
This amazing technology, wrapped up in a lightweight helmet, has 256 high-quality LED’s and 4 red LED’s (to indicate that the machine is operational, since you cannot see the 810nm wavelength).
The light penetrates the skull and targets nerve cells, concentrating on neurological conditions such as migraine, depression and cognitive decline. It enhances mitochondrial function through Cytochrome c oxidase absorption as the 810nm wavelength penetrates deeply into brain tissue boosting ATP production.
Other benefits include Nitric Oxide (NO) release, thus enhancing local vasodilation, blood flow, and oxygenation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulation - low, controlled ROS levels act as signalling molecules, supporting brain repair.
It has anti-inflammatory effects, shifting microglia from pro-inflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype.
Finally, it stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which plays an important role in neuronal survival and growth, serving as a neurotransmitter modulator, and takes part in neuronal plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory.
Why is the 810nm wavelength so successful for brain repair?
It can reach cortical structures through the skull (up to ~3–4 cm in humans), it has low absorption by water and haemoglobin, making it a “sweet spot” in the Near Infrared Range and it has been extensively studied compared to other NIR wavelengths (e.g. 850nm and 1070nm).
Time and Frequency of Treatment:
4–6 sessions per week for 4–12 weeks at 6 to 30 minutes per session.
For some protocols, use daily in acute injury (TBI, stroke).
For maintenance (cognition, mood): 1–2 x per week long-term.

Mood & Mental Health
-
Reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety (clinical pilot studies).
-
May improve resilience to stress by modulating limbic activity.
-
Enhances sleep regulation by influencing brain energy metabolism.
Headaches & Pain
-
Shown to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
-
May alleviate tension-type headaches and neuropathic pain by modulating trigeminal pathways.
Neuroprotection
-
Protects neurons against oxidative stress and excitotoxicity.
-
Reduces secondary damage after stroke/TBI.
-
May delay progression of neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Parkinson’s and MND, although still at early stage of evidence).
Cerebral Circulation & Oxidation
-
Increases regional cerebral blood flow.
-
Improves oxygen extraction and use in cortical tissue.
-
Enhances lymphatic and glymphatic clearance, supporting detoxification.
Cognitive & Neurological
-
Improves memory, attention, and executive function.
-
Enhances learning and mental clarity (shown in healthy volunteers).
-
Promotes recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke.
-
May reduce cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
-
Supports neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.
Other Reported Effects
-
May accelerate hair regrowth when applied to the scalp (though 650–680nm is more common, 810nm penetrates deeper into hair follicles).
-
Supports wound healing of scalp injuries.
-
Some early evidence for reducing auditory symptoms (e.g. tinnitus) via trigeminal and cochlear nerve modulation.
