Introduction: The Impact of Beam Angle on Red Light Therapy Effectiveness
Beam angle refers to the spread of red light, directly affecting light intensity, treatment depth, and coverage. Different beam angles are suitable for different treatment needs, such as localized precision treatment (such as joints and wounds) or large-area treatment (such as the back and face).
This article will deeply analyze how beam angle affects the effectiveness of red light therapy and teach you how to choose the right beam angle based on your needs to ensure the optimal therapeutic effect of your red light therapy device.
1. Definition of beam angle
Beam angle refers to the angle of spread of red light, typically expressed in degrees (°), such as 10°, 30°, 60°, and 120°.
✅ Narrow beam angle (10°-30°):
Highly concentrated light, suitable for precise treatment of small areas (such as acne, joints, and wounds).
✅ Medium beam angle (60°-90°):
Moderately diffuse light, suitable for localized treatment (such as the face and neck).
✅ Wide beam angle (90° and above):
Broad beam coverage, suitable for full-body or large-area treatment (such as the back and abdomen).
How Does Beam Angle Affect Treatment Effectiveness?
|
Narrow beam angle (high focus): Concentrated light with high energy density penetrates deep into tissue (up to 10-15mm), making it ideal for reducing inflammation and promoting wound healing.
Wide beam angle (wide coverage): Dispersed light is suitable for irradiating a large area, but the intensity at a single point is lower, making it more suitable for improving microcirculation and relaxing muscles.

Purchase Guide:
For targeted treatment of specific areas (e.g., acne, joints), choose a narrow beam angle (10°–30°).
For daily skincare routines or localized relaxation, opt for a medium beam angle (60°–90°).
For full-body therapy, select a wide beam angle (120°+).
Now, do you know how to pick the most suitable red light therapy device based on the beam angle? Choosing the right beam angle ensures optimal results from your red light therapy!
FAQ
1. Is a smaller beam angle always better?
Not necessarily. A smaller angle is better for deeper areas, while a larger angle is better for the face or larger areas.
2. How do I determine the device's beam angle?
Check the product specifications or consult the manufacturer. High-end brands typically specify a range of beam angles.
3. Does the beam angle affect the energy of the red light?
Yes. A smaller angle concentrates the light, resulting in higher energy density; a larger angle disperses the light, making the energy more uniform.
4. Can the beam angle of the product be customized?
Yes, at ILUXRED, with decades of experience in the red light therapy industry, we can customize the beam angle to suit your needs and improve treatment efficiency.
