Best Panels for Deep Tissue: the 1064nm Shortlist
Updated August 2026 · compiled from published specifications and attributed third-party measurements
Most red light panels stop at 850nm. For the deepest-reaching band in home devices, 1064nm-class deep infrared at meaningful density, the shortlist is two brands: RLT Home (14% of LEDs at 1064nm across the lineup) and Helio Cure (about 19% at 1064nm). Several brands list a 1060nm band at token density; density is the number to check.

Frequently asked questions
Does 1064nm reach deeper than 850nm?
Tissue optics support deeper penetration for longer near-infrared wavelengths. Clinical trials at exactly 1064nm are fewer than at 800-850nm; the physics case is solid, the trial base is still growing.
Methodology: rankings weigh measured or method-stated irradiance, wavelength coverage and published density, buyer terms (trial, restocking, stand, warranty), and value per LED. No brand pays for a position. Full methodology.
