Based on computer modelling, the 810nm wavelength has been found to be superior to other wavelengths that includes 1064 nm for penetration. This was proposed in 2018, and confirmed in 2020. Part of the explanation for the deeper penetration allowed for 810 nm is the low absorbance by blood and water.
A recent studyon vascular hemodynamics and cytochrome c oxidase redox activity by the Department of Bioengineering, University of Texas at Arlington examined the effects of different wavelengths within this range with
Results
(1) The 810 nm LED was able to create significant stimulations on vascular hemodynamic oxygenation and CCO redox metabolism despite the LED having a lower irradiance (≈135 mW/cm2)
(2) The dose-dependent trajectory by the 810 nm LED was similar to that by the 800 nm laser.
(3) The LED-triggered increases in Δ[oxCCO] remained at the elevated level without a returning tendency at least during the 5 min post-PBM period. In contrast, the increased Δ[oxCCO] by the 1064 nm laser started returning to the baseline immediately after the cease of the laser.
These findings are encouraging for us – our Vielight Neuro’s rear 810nm LED transcranial diodes generate ≈100 mW/cm2, which approaches the power density of ≈135 mW/cm2 used in the study. It underscores our commitment to fewer well-placed but sufficiently powerful diodes vs many weaker diodes.
Vie-LED technology enables fewer diodes with maximal output and footprint.
Each transcranial LED has an industry-leading power of 1000 mW. It allows us to program radiant power density of up 300 mW/cm2. Although we are currently limiting it to 100 mW/cm2 for safety reasons, we still lead the entire industry.
Our declared values for radiant power density are verified through medical-grade testing and manufacturing certifications.

People with Alzheimer’s disease show disruptions of functional connectivity within the Default Mode Network (DMN).[1]
Brain photobiomodulation with the Neuro Gamma increased connectivity between nodes within the DMN in an fMRI-based research study by the University of California San Francisco.[2]

Quick facts.
Vielight’s high-powered LED systems are proprietary and developed internally. Each transcranial LED has an industry-leading power of 1000 mW. These sophisticated LEDs have their own drivers and are not available to other companies. It allows us to program radiant power density of up 300 mW/cm2. Although we are currently limiting it to 100 mW/cm2 for safety reasons, we still lead the entire industry. Our declared values for radiant power density are verified through medical-grade testing and manufacturing certifications.
Additionally, our lenses were engineered with curvature to maximize contact with the scalp and bypass hair. This maximizes power density, as the amount of light energy that reaches the scalp can be hindered by hair and distance, according to the inverse square law of light.
Literature and our ongoing research with institutional research partners show that radiant power density is one of the most important variables for optimal penetration, besides wavelength.
Our patented intranasal technology enables photobiomodulation of the olfactory bulb and ventral brain structures.
The Neuro’s modules locations are adjustable, enabling different areas of the brain to be targeted.
Flexible form factor maximizes contact of diodes with the scalp – bypassing hair and optimizing NIR light energy penetration.
In the field of brain photobiomodulation, our technology is featured in the most published research – spanning from neurodegeneration to brain performance. This is because we have been around the longest and have invested the most in advancing the field of brain photobiomodulation.
The Vielight Neuro Gamma is the only brain photobiomodulation device to induce Gamma neuromodulation in a peer-reviewed published study in a high impact journal.[1] Gamma neuromodulation is being researched by MIT and has been shown to improve brain function in humans with dementia.[2]
Besides that, improved brain connectivity and cerebral blood flow in an independent fMRI-based dementia study, which is the gold standard for determining physiological changes.[3][1] Zomorrodi R, Loheswaran G, Pushparaj A, Lim L.
