What is the difference between visible red lasers and invisible, infrared lasers?

In LILT, red and infrared light has different effects on molecules: • Red (visible) light produces chemical changes in molecules and penetrates the skin poorly. This makes visible red light more suitable for superficial (skin and mucosal) lesions, and superficial muscle and connective tissue injuries. • Infrared light produces physical changes in molecules and penetrates deeper into tissues. It is suitable for both superficial and deeper lesions. Used appropriately, both result in clinical improvement.

Visible red lasers penetrate the skin poorly, therefore are more suitable for superficial (skin and mucosal) lesions, superficial muscle and connective tissue injuries. Infrared lasers, such as the HB-750 Laser penetrate deeper and are suitable for both superficial and deeper lesions.
