Backed by science
Built on decades of clinical research, with thousands of peer-reviewed studies on red and near-infrared light.
Two wavelengths.
Two penetration depths.
Ultrahuman Photon uses dual-wavelength photobiomodulation, addressing surface and deep tissue recovery in a single session.
VISIBLE RED
660nm
Reaches 2–5mm into the dermis to support skin tone, texture, and firmness.
NEAR INFRARED
850nm
Reaches 30–50mm into muscle and joint tissue to support recovery.
Epidermis · 0–1mm
Dermis · 1–4mm
Subcutaneous · 4–15mm
Muscle & Joint · 15–50mm
660nm
850nm
Skin health
Smoother skin texture
Reaches 2–5mm into your skin. Supports the appearance of firmer, smoother skin.
Reaches the fibroblasts that produce collagen and elastin. Supports firmer, smoother-looking skin.
Muscles & joints
Deeper muscle recovery
Reaches 30–50mm into muscle and joint tissue. Supports muscle recovery.
Reaches deep into muscle and joint tissue. Eases post-workout discomfort and supports muscle recovery.
With you, wherever you go.
Photon is built to travel with you. Your daily recovery protocol stays on, wherever life takes you.
Compact and handheld
