Red light therapy · HCMC
Red light,dosed right.
We set the distance and time on full-body panels, used after training, to help support skin health and as a calm routine before sleep.
The basics
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy is a simple, non-invasive way to support the body using low levels of red and near-infrared light.
Unlike UV light, red and near-infrared light doesn't tan or burn the skin. The panel only feels gently warm.
Sessions at our studio are 25 minutes: you lie under a full-body panel and turn over halfway. It's one of the simplest things to add to your routine.
Why people come
Red light therapy benefits
People come to red light for prevention, recovery and longevity. Here's what they use it for, and how it may help with your goal.
Skin routineHow
Many people add red light to their skin routine, with a few sessions a week.
Recovery after trainingHow
Athletes and regular trainers use sessions between hard training days, as part of their recovery routine.
A calm evening routineHow
Warm red light is gentle on the eyes, so many people use it to wind down in the evening without screens.
Prevention and longevityHow
Some people make regular sessions part of a long-term routine, alongside good sleep, food and movement.
Whole body in one sessionHow
A full-body panel covers your front and back in one 25-minute session.
Easy to keep up at homeHow
Panels are simple to use, so many people who start at the studio go on to rent or buy one for home.
The light
How does it work?
What the panel gives out, and how we set it up for you.
Seven wavelengths
Every Sorted panel combines blue light at 480 nm, red light at 630 and 660 nm, and near-infrared at 810, 830, 850 and 1060 nm.480 nm630 nm660 nm810 nm830 nm850 nm1060 nm
Red near the surface, near-infrared deeper
Red light is absorbed near the surface of the skin. Near-infrared reaches deeper into the body.
Some light you can't see
Near-infrared is invisible, so those LEDs look dim even when they're on. The panel feels gently warm, never hot.
Set for you
At the studio, the panel is set up so you get the optimum dose in your session, and it switches itself off at the end.
Session time
25 minutes
Your visit
What happens during a session?
Step 1
Get in position
You lie under a full-body panel. Your session is 25 minutes, about 12 minutes on each side.Step 2
Turn over halfway
If you're using a full-body panel, you turn over halfway through your session to allow the light to reach both sides of your body evenly.Step 3
Wear what's comfortable
Wear whatever feels comfortable. Bare skin gives the best results. Clothing significantly reduces light absorption.Step 4
Protect your eyes
The panels are very bright, so we give you goggles to wear for every session.

Dose calculator
How long should you spend in front of the panel?
It depends on your panel, your goal and how far away you sit. Because we measure the strength and output of our panels, we can calculate the optimal dose for your goal: the time, the distance and the setting for each light.
Calculate your dose
Pick your panel and your goal. We'll give you the timer and light settings.

Beeps at 7 min
- Your session
- When it beeps halfway (at 7 min), move to another part of your body, such as from your upper back to your lower back. Only treating one part? Set the timer to 7 min instead.
- How
- Clean skin, no make-up. Keep your eyes closed.
- How often
- 3 to 5 times a week
How to use the timer
- Pro 300 & Pro 500Your panel beeps halfway through. When it beeps, move the panel to your next spot, such as from one knee to the other. Treating just one spot? Use half the time.
- Pro 900Your panel beeps halfway through. When it beeps, move to another part of your body, such as from your upper back to your lower back. Sitting in a chair facing the panel works best.
- Elite 1500 & EliteMax 1800Your panel beeps halfway through. When it beeps, turn around so your back faces the panel.
Always keep your eyes closed or wear the goggles. Skin should feel warm, never hot. A general guide, not medical advice. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, have cancer or take light-sensitising medication.

How we measure output
Output at 15 cm is all seven wavelengths together, measured at a real treatment distance rather than right against the LEDs.
For our dosage calculator we measured the Pro 900 with a spectrometer at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 cm, for 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared, the two most studied wavelengths. The other five aren't part of those readings, so the calculator works from lower numbers than the combined figure, and your session times are set from real output. Try the dosage calculator

Got questions
Frequently asked questions
Is red light therapy safe?
For most people, yes: it's non-invasive and uses no chemicals, and our panels are low-EMF and flicker-free. It isn't suitable during pregnancy, as there isn't enough research yet. See who red light therapy is for, and who it's not for.
How long do I need to do red light therapy?
It depends on your panel, your goal and how far away you sit. As a guide, about 60 cm from the panel for up to 12 minutes per area or per side. For the exact time and settings for your goal, use our dose calculator.
How often should I use red light therapy?
3 to 5 times a week, and no more than once a day.
Can I try the lights before I decide to buy?
Yes. You can try a session at our recovery studio, or rent a panel at home for 2, 3 or 4 weeks.
Are you based in Vietnam or are these shipped from overseas?
We're based in Ho Chi Minh City. Our panels come from our partner factory overseas and we keep stock here, so in-stock panels arrive in 1 to 5 days. Delivery, warranty and what comes in the box are on each panel's page.
Why should I buy from Sorted Therapies instead of Shopee or Lazada?
There is a huge difference in power. Many cheap panels have weak irradiance. Our panels carry CE, FCC and RoHS certificates, are made in an ISO 13485 certified factory, and are registered with the US FDA. Certificates are available on request.
