What is the visible light spectrum?
The visible light spectrum is the range of electromagnetic wavelengths that are perceptible to the human eye, typically spanning from about 380 nm to 750 nm.
Therapeutic red light used in Photobiomodulation (PBMT) falls within this visible range, specifically around 630–660 nm, where it effectively interacts with biological tissues.
Understanding the visible light spectrum helps optimize device design and treatment protocols in red light therapy for hair regrowth applications.
