PBM is a non-invasive light therapy that utilizes specific wavelengths (660nm and 850nm) to interact with chromophores within the cells. It triggers a cascade of photochemical reactions—similar to photosynthesis in plants—that enhance cellular metabolism and stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

The 660nm wavelength is primarily absorbed by the skin's dermal layers. It stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production, improves skin tone, and accelerates the healing of superficial wounds and scars.

The "Optical Window" refers to the spectrum between 600nm and 900nm. In this range, light has the maximum depth of penetration in human tissue because it is minimally absorbed by water, melanin, and hemoglobin.

NIR light (850nm) penetrates significantly deeper than visible red light, reaching muscles, nerves, and even bone. This makes it the clinical standard for treating deep-tissue inflammation, joint pain, and systemic recovery.

Mitochondria are the targets of PBM. Light photons are absorbed by the enzyme Cytochrome c Oxidase, which increases the efficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, leading to higher energy output.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell. PBM helps dissociate Nitric Oxide (NO) from Cytochrome c Oxidase, allowing oxygen to bind more effectively and ramping up ATP synthesis.

Yes. By optimizing the mitochondrial electron transport chain, PBM reduces the production of excessive Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage and premature aging.

Irradiance is the power density of the light (measured in mW/cm²). Aetey devices deliver a high-output 105mW/cm², ensuring that a therapeutic dose of photons reaches deep tissues within a standard 10–15 minute session.

PBM shifts the phenotype of macrophages from M1 (pro-inflammatory) to M2 (anti-inflammatory), significantly reducing levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha.

Yes. PBM triggers the release of Nitric Oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator. This increases blood flow, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and vital nutrients to targeted tissues while accelerating waste removal.

The Arndt-Schulz Law states that there is a biphasic dose response in photobiomodulation. Low levels of light stimulate biological activity, while extremely high levels can inhibit it. Aetey devices are calibrated to deliver the precise energy density (Joules) required to stay within the beneficial "stimulation" zone.

No. Unlike pharmacological interventions, cells do not develop a tolerance to light photons. However, consistent application is necessary to maintain the elevated ATP levels and reduced oxidative stress required for long-term systemic benefits.

Red light exposure, particularly in the evening, helps regulate the natural production of melatonin and reduces the neurological strain caused by blue light. This helps stabilize the circadian rhythm, leading to improved sleep latency and deeper restorative stages.

No. Red and Near-Infrared light are non-ionizing. Unlike Ultraviolet (UV) or X-ray radiation, these wavelengths do not possess enough energy to strip electrons from atoms or break DNA strands, making them safe for long-term use.

While lasers provide coherent light for pinpoint applications, medical-grade LEDs provide the same biological effect over a much larger surface area. Research confirms that for large-tissue treatment, non-coherent LED light is just as effective as laser light while offering superior safety for home use.

Yes. Utilizing PBM prior to physical exertion primes the mitochondrial chain for increased energy output, while post-exercise use significantly reduces Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and accelerates muscle fiber repair.

PBM stimulates the contraction of lymphangiocytes, the cells responsible for lymphatic flow. This helps the body more efficiently remove metabolic waste, reduce edema (swelling), and support the immune system.

Clinical studies have shown that PBM can reduce the inflammatory load in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (such as Hashimoto's), potentially improving thyroid hormone synthesis and reducing the need for levothyroxine.

The biological "optical window" refers to the spectrum between 600nm and 900nm where light has its maximum depth of penetration in human tissue. In this range, photons are not significantly blocked by water, melanin, or hemoglobin. Aetey precisely targets 660nm and 850nm within this window, ensuring energy reaches deep-seated mitochondria in muscle and bone.

Photobiomodulation triggers the photodissociation of Nitric Oxide (NO) from Cytochrome c Oxidase. This release acts as a potent vasodilator, instantly increasing localized blood flow and microcirculation. This process not only flushes out metabolic waste but also lowers systemic oxidative stress.

Irradiance determines the "photon density" delivered to the target. Low-power devices often fail to provide enough energy to reach deeper tissues after surface reflection. Aetey’s 105mW/cm² ensures that even after natural tissue attenuation, a therapeutic threshold of Joules is reached at the cellular level in significantly less time.

This dual-action approach targets multiple layers of biology. 660nm (Red Light) is primarily absorbed by the skin's dermal layers for collagen synthesis, while 850nm (Near-Infrared) penetrates much deeper (up to 5-10cm) to treat systemic inflammation, joints, and deep muscle fibers.

Cytochrome c Oxidase (CcO) is the primary chromophore (light-absorber) in our mitochondria. When it absorbs photons from Aetey devices, it accelerates the electron transport chain, resulting in an immediate spike in Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production—the universal energy currency of the cell.

Yes. Clinical research shows that PBM induces a mild, beneficial antioxidant response (hormesis). It upregulates antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps the body neutralize free radicals and reduces chronic systemic inflammation over time.

Dosage is the product of power (irradiance) and time. Using an Aetey device at 6 inches (105 mW/cm²), you deliver approximately 6.3 Joules per minute. For skin health, 10–20 Joules is optimal; for deep muscle or joint recovery, 30–60 Joules is recommended for clinical efficacy.

Cellular receptors are wavelength-specific. Many consumer-grade panels have a wide variance (±20nm), meaning much of the light falls outside the effective bio-active peak. Aetey’s ±5nm medical-grade precision ensures every photon is delivered exactly at the frequency where mitochondrial absorption is highest.

Unlike pharmacological interventions, cells do not build a "tolerance" to light in the traditional sense. As long as the Biphasic Dose-Response (avoiding over-exposure) is respected, the mitochondria will continue to utilize photons for ATP production and repair indefinitely.

NIR light (850nm) has been shown to stimulate the expression of Nerve Growth Factors (NGF) and reduce neuroinflammation. This is why PBM is increasingly used in clinical trials for peripheral neuropathy and supporting cognitive health by improving cerebral blood flow.

Irradiance measures the power density of light reaching a surface, expressed in milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm²). It is critical because biological effects only occur once a specific "energy threshold" is met. Aetey devices deliver a peak irradiance of 105 mW/cm² at a 6-inch distance, ensuring optimal photon delivery.

The biological effect of light therapy is dose-dependent. The total energy delivered to the tissue (Energy Density) is calculated using the following clinical formula:

Example Calculation:

If you are using an Aetey device at a distance providing 100 mW/cm² (which is 0.1 W/cm²) for a 10-minute session (600 seconds):

This 60 J/cm² dose is within the optimal therapeutic window for deep tissue repair and systemic anti-inflammatory effects according to the Arndt-Schulz Law.

Aetey utilizes a 30-degree secondary glass lens for each LED. This narrow angle focuses the light directly into the tissue, minimizing "photon scatter" and ensuring that more energy reaches deeper layers (like muscle and bone) compared to wider 60 or 90-degree lenses.

Aetey devices are engineered with shielded internal drivers. At the recommended treatment distance (6+ inches), the EMF output is 0.0 µT, ensuring a safe environment for cellular repair without electromagnetic interference.

Many cheap LEDs "flicker" at high frequencies, which can cause eye strain or headaches. Aetey uses high-quality DC (Direct Current) drivers to ensure a 100% flicker-free output, providing a stable and comfortable therapeutic experience.

Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) indicates the purity of the wavelength. Aetey LEDs have a narrow FWHM of +/- 5nm. This ensures that if you select 660nm, you are receiving 660nm, not a broad, less effective range of red light.

Heat is the enemy of LED longevity. We use active cooling systems featuring ultra-quiet, high-RPM fans and aluminum heat sinks to keep the diodes below 45°C. This prevents "thermal decay," where the light intensity drops as the device gets hot.

Our medical-grade LEDs are rated for 50,000+ hours of use. If used for 20 minutes every single day, the device would last over 400 years before the LEDs reach their half-life.

Continuous Wave (CW) provides a steady stream of photons, ideal for surface healing. Pulsed light (often 10Hz or 40Hz) is used in neurological research to assist with brain wave entrainment and deep tissue penetration. Aetey supports both modes for versatile recovery.

Yes. Our dual-switch system allows you to use Red only (for skin), NIR only (for deep tissue), or Both (for a comprehensive "whole-body" treatment).

Aetey devices are built for global use, featuring universal voltage (100V–240V). They are energy-efficient, drawing significantly less power than a traditional infrared heat lamp while delivering higher therapeutic energy.

We use industrial-grade carbon steel with a medical-grade, non-toxic powder coating. This ensures the device is durable enough for clinical environments and does not "off-gas" chemicals when it warms up.

No, LEDs produce non-coherent light. However, clinical meta-analyses have proven that coherence is not a requirement for photobiomodulation; the total energy delivered (Joules) and the correct wavelength are the primary drivers of efficacy.

Due to the Inverse Square Law, light intensity drops as you move away. At 12 inches, our irradiance is approximately 75 mW/cm². This allows for a larger treatment area while still maintaining clinical-strength power.

We use a high-precision spectroradiometer (not a cheap solar power meter). Solar meters often overstate irradiance by 2–3x because they are calibrated for the sun's broad spectrum, not narrow-band LEDs.

Yes. 850nm is Near-Infrared>, which is outside the visible human spectrum. When the NIR switch is on, you may see a very faint dull red glow or nothing at all, but the energy is being emitted at full power.

Yes. To ensure the Arndt-Schulz Law is followed and to prevent over-treatment, Aetey devices include a digital timer that allows for precise 1–20 minute sessions.

(Example for a mid-sized panel): The Aetey Pro 300 features 60 high-power 5W chips. The power is distributed 50/50 between 660nm and 850nm to ensure a balanced therapeutic spectrum.

Most Aetey panels feature modular linking technology, allowing you to connect multiple units together to create a full-body setup while powering them from a single wall outlet.

Our manufacturing facility is ISO 13485 certified (Medical Device Quality Management). The hardware itself carries CE, RoHS, and FCC certifications, ensuring it meets international safety and environmental standards.

Pre-conditioning with Red and NIR light increases mitochondrial activity before exercise, while post-workout sessions accelerate the removal of metabolic waste and reduce oxidative stress in muscle fibers. This dual approach significantly lowers creatine kinase levels, the primary marker of muscle damage.

Yes. NIR light penetrates deep into joint capsules. It works by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) in the synovial fluid, which decreases joint stiffness and improves mobility in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Photobiomodulation stimulates the migration and proliferation of satellite cells (muscle stem cells) and improves collagen synthesis in tendons and ligaments, which typically have poor blood supply. This can reduce recovery time by up to 40%.

For spinal issues, high-irradiance NIR is required. Aetey’s 105mW/cm² output ensures photons reach the deep paraspinal muscles and discs to reduce nerve root inflammation and soothe sciatic nerve irritation.

We recommend a "near-contact" method (3–6 inches) for 10-15 minutes daily. The concentrated energy helps remodel disorganized collagen fibers in the tendon, shifting the condition from chronic degeneration to active healing.

Heat pads only affect surface temperature and provide temporary relief via increased blood flow. PBM is non-thermal; it works at a cellular level to fix the source of pain by boosting ATP and reducing inflammation, providing longer-lasting recovery.

Yes. Studies indicate that NIR light stimulates nerve regeneration and increases microcirculation in the extremities, helping to reduce the "pins and needles" sensation and numbness associated with diabetic or idiopathic neuropathy.

Yes. Applying 850nm light to the heel and arch of the foot reduces the thick, chronic inflammation of the fascia and stimulates the repair of micro-tears in the connective tissue.

Before: To prime muscles for performance, increase oxygenation, and boost endurance.
After: To accelerate recovery, clear lactic acid, and prevent stiffness. For elite performance, professional athletes often use it both before and after training..

Yes. Clinical research demonstrates that NIR light can reduce inflammation of the median nerve and the surrounding tendons in the carpal tunnel. Regular sessions help alleviate pain, tingling, and grip weakness without the need for invasive injections.

Yes. Unlike ultrasound or microwave diathermy, Red and NIR light do not heat up metal implants or surgical screws. PBM is a "cold" therapy that interacts with biological tissue rather than the implant material, making it safe for post-surgical recovery.

PBM stimulates the lymphatic system's "pumping" action. By increasing the contraction frequency of lymph vessels, it helps the body reabsorb excess fluid (edema) and metabolic debris from the site of an injury or surgery much faster.

Yes. Systemic application of Red/NIR light has been shown to lower the "pain threshold" by modulating the central nervous system's response to pain and reducing the systemic oxidative stress often found in Fibromyalgia patients.

For deep-tissue penetration (muscles/joints), we recommend a distance of 6 inches. This ensures you receive the maximum irradiance (105mW/cm²) required to drive photons deep enough to reach the targeted tissue.

Yes. Applying NIR light to the base of the skull and the trapezius muscles can help relax the tension that triggers headaches. Additionally, it improves blood flow to the brain, which may help mitigate the severity of migraine symptoms.

Emerging research suggests that PBM stimulates osteoblast (bone-forming cell) activity. It is often used to accelerate the union of fractures and improve the integration of dental or orthopedic implants.

NIR light improves the efficiency of the Krebs cycle within the mitochondria. This allows the body to clear blood lactate levels significantly faster after high-intensity training, allowing athletes to return to peak performance sooner.

Yes. Chronic poor posture leads to localized inflammation and "trigger points" in the neck and shoulders. Daily 10-minute sessions with Aetey help relax these hyper-irritable spots and reduce the inflammatory load in the overworked muscle groups.

Yes. Bursitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joints. NIR light (850nm) is highly effective at reducing the fluid buildup and inflammation within these sacs, particularly in the hip, shoulder, and knee.

When combined with resistance training, PBM has been shown to increase muscle hypertrophy (growth) and maximal strength compared to training alone. It optimizes the cellular environment for protein synthesis and fiber repair.

For acute pain or skin issues, 5–10 minutes is sufficient. For deep-seated chronic pain (like back pain or deep joint issues), a session of 15–20 minutes at a distance of 6 inches is recommended to ensure an adequate "Joules" dose is delivered.

Yes. Applying NIR light to the temporomandibular joint helps relax the masseter muscles and reduce inflammation in the joint capsule, providing significant relief for those who suffer from jaw clenching or grinding.

Yes. Because the rotator cuff has a limited blood supply, it heals slowly. PBM increases microcirculation and collagen production in the shoulder tendons, supporting the repair of micro-tears and reducing impingement pain.

Yes. Applying NIR light to the lower abdomen can help relax smooth muscle tissue and reduce the prostaglandins that cause painful uterine contractions, providing a natural, drug-free alternative for period pain.

Generally, yes, but sessions should be shorter (3–5 minutes) as children have thinner skin and smaller body mass. Always consult with a pediatrician before starting a new therapy for a minor.

PBM promotes the expression of nerve growth factors (NGF) and increases the rate of axonal regrowth. This is why it is often used in the treatment of nerve crush injuries and post-surgical nerve repair.

. While physical therapy is essential, PBM helps by reducing the thick, painful inflammation in the shoulder capsule, making the stretching and mobilization exercises significantly more effective and less painful.

We recommend 10 minutes pre-workout (to increase endurance) and 15 minutes post-workout (to reduce DOMS). For injury rehab, daily sessions are recommended for the first 2 weeks, followed by 3 times per week for maintenance.

PBM at 850nm NIR has been shown to induce a temporary "nerve block" effect. It slows the conduction velocity and reduces the amplitude of action potentials in C-fibers and A-delta fibers (the primary nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain).

Yes. PBM upregulates the production of Type I and Type III collagen mRNA in tenocytes and ligament cells. This accelerates the structural remodeling of the ligament, providing higher tensile strength during the recovery phase.

NIR light penetrates the joint capsule to stimulate chondrocytes (cartilage cells). It reduces the concentration of inflammatory markers like prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the synovial fluid, reducing pain and increasing the range of motion.

Chronic back pain often involves deep-seated inflammation in the multifidus muscles and vertebrae. Aetey’s high irradiance (105mW/cm²) at 850nm ensures that photons reach these deep structures to reduce muscular guarding and inflammatory stasis.

Yes. PBM increases the diameter and flow rate of lymphatic vessels. This facilitates the rapid removal of extracellular fluid (edema) and metabolic debris from the injury site, visibly reducing swelling within 24–48 hours.

Yes. NIR light can help reduce the inflammatory pressure around the sciatic nerve root. By calming the neural inflammation and relaxing the piriformis muscle, it helps alleviate the radiating pain down the leg.

Using Aetey before exercise (Pre-conditioning) builds a cellular "buffer" against muscle damage. It increases mitochondrial capacity and antioxidant levels, allowing athletes to perform longer before reaching the fatigue threshold.

For Fibromyalgia, PBM works on a systemic level. It helps lower the "central sensitization" of the nervous system and improves the ATP-starved state of muscles that often contributes to the chronic fatigue associated with the condition.

Yes. The 850nm wavelength is ideal for the thick connective tissue of the foot. It stimulates blood flow to the poorly vascularized plantar fascia, breaking the cycle of chronic micro-tearing and inflammation.

Yes. PBM stimulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Clinical studies show that it can accelerate the formation of the bony callus, potentially shortening the immobilization period for fractures.

Yes. Tendonitis often becomes "tendonosis" (degenerative). PBM restarts the healing process by increasing microcirculation and collagen synthesis in the elbow's extensor tendons.

Highly effective. It reduces the need for opioid painkillers by managing inflammation naturally and ensures that surgical incisions heal with minimal scarring and high tissue integrity.

By optimizing the mitochondrial respiratory chain, PBM helps the body process pyruvate more efficiently, preventing the excessive buildup of lactate and hydrogen ions that cause the "burn" during and after intense training.

Yes. It stimulates the release of Nitric Oxide, which improves blood flow to the small vessels (vasa nervorum) that feed the nerves. This can reduce the burning, tingling, and numbness in the hands and feet.

Yes. The shoulder joint is complex and deep. Aetey’s NIR light reaches the subacromial space to treat bursitis and tendon tears that are often unreachable by topical treatments.

When used post-training, PBM increases the activation of satellite cells—the "repair" cells that fuse to muscle fibers to make them larger and stronger.

Yes. NIR light relaxes the masseter and temporal muscles while reducing inflammation in the temporomandibular joint, providing a non-drug alternative for jaw pain and clicking.

It addresses both the muscular strain and the disc inflammation. Regular use helps dissolve "trigger points" in the trapezius muscles and reduces the stiffness caused by prolonged screen time.

Yes. NIR light can penetrate into the pelvic region to relax smooth muscle tissue and reduce the prostaglandins that cause painful uterine contractions.

Yes. PBM is highly effective at reducing the fluid volume in inflamed bursae, providing rapid relief from the sharp, localized pain of bursitis.

By reducing inflammation in the flexor tendons of the forearm and improving the nerve conduction in the hand, PBM helps patients recover grip strength faster after injury or surgery.

Yes. It reduces the inflammation of the periosteum (the sheath around the bone) and accelerates the repair of the connective tissue between the muscle and the tibia.

While it cannot "pop" a disc back in, it significantly reduces the chemical inflammation (radiculopathy) that causes the pain, allowing for a more effective physical therapy program.

Yes. It is a preferred treatment for the elderly as it has zero drug interactions and puts no strain on the liver or kidneys, unlike NSAIDs or pain medications.

For localized muscle "knots," we recommend 10 minutes of direct exposure (6 inches away) daily. You should feel the muscle begin to "release" within 3–5 sessions.

For overall systemic recovery, we suggest a 20-minute session covering the major muscle groups. This lowers systemic oxidative stress and helps the body transition into the "parasympathetic" (rest and digest) state for optimal healing.

For systemic recovery and deep tissue treatment, we recommend a distance of 6 to 12 inches. For targeted skin rejuvenation, a distance of 12 to 18 inches is ideal to ensure even coverage across the facial area while maintaining therapeutic irradiance.

The standard clinical "sweet spot" is 10 to 20 minutes per treatment area. Sessions shorter than 5 minutes may not provide enough energy to trigger a cellular response, while sessions exceeding 30 minutes may lead to diminishing returns due to the biphasic dose-response.

Consistency is more important than duration. For optimal results, we recommend 3 to 5 sessions per week. For acute injury recovery, daily use is safe and effective until symptoms subside.

While Red light (660nm) is generally safe for eyes, the Near-Infrared (850nm) light is extremely bright and invisible to the human eye. We strongly recommend using the provided opaque blackout goggles when the device is facing your eyes to prevent strain and ensure long-term retinal safety.

Light photons must physically reach the skin to be absorbed by the mitochondria. For the most effective treatment, the target area should be directly exposed (bare skin). Lightweight, light-colored clothing may allow some penetration, but it significantly reduces the effective dose.

Yes. Skin should be clean and free of sunscreens, thick lotions, or makeup. Products containing Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide (mineral sunscreens) reflect light and will block the therapeutic wavelengths from reaching your cells.

In photobiomodulation, "more" is not always "better." There is an optimal window of energy (Joules). If you under-dose, you see no effect; if you over-dose (e.g., 60+ minutes), you may actually inhibit the healing process. Aetey protocols are designed to keep you in the "stimulation" zone.

Yes, it is safe. However, darker pigments (especially black and dark blue ink) absorb more light energy and may feel warmer than the surrounding skin. If the area feels uncomfortably hot, simply increase your distance from the device by 3–5 inches.

While there is no evidence that PBM is harmful during pregnancy, clinical studies on pregnant women are limited. We recommend avoiding direct exposure to the abdomen and consulting your obstetrician before starting a regimen.

You should avoid using PBM directly over known active carcinomas (cancerous tumors) or if you are using photosensitizing medications (such as certain antibiotics, Lithium, or Accutane). If you have a history of seizures triggered by light, consult your doctor.

Yes. Aetey devices use high-quality, shielded DC drivers with zero EMF output at the recommended treatment distance. The light energy does not interfere with the electronic function of pacemakers or other medical implants.

Yes, this is the "Recovery Window." Using the device within 2 hours of exercise helps clear lactic acid and reduces the inflammatory markers that cause muscle soreness (DOMS).

PBM is non-toxic and non-invasive, but children have thinner skin and smaller body mass. Sessions should be limited to 5–10 minutes, and protective eyewear is mandatory. Always supervise children during use.

Red light (660nm) is excellent for the evening as it does not disrupt melatonin production (unlike blue light). However, the cellular energy boost from a long session can occasionally make users feel "too energized" for sleep. We recommend finishing your session at least 1–2 hours before bed.

No. Aetey panels are high-precision electronic instruments with internal cooling fans. They are not waterproof and should be used in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent internal circuitry damage.

You should feel a gentle, soothing warmth. Red Light Therapy is not a thermal treatment like an infrared sauna. If the device feels "hot" or causes skin discomfort, you are likely too close; simply move back a few inches.

Retinol can make the skin more sensitive. We recommend using your Aetey device before applying your nightly Retinol. For Vitamin C, applying it after a session is ideal, as the increased blood flow enhances the serum's absorption.

No. Tanning and skin cancer are caused by Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Aetey devices emit wavelengths strictly in the Red and Near-Infrared spectrum (660nm–850nm), which are completely free of harmful UV rays.

Unplug the device and wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp micro-fiber cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or spray liquids directly onto the LED lenses or into the cooling fans.

Yes, PBM is widely used in veterinary medicine for hip dysplasia and wound healing in dogs and cats. Ensure the pet does not look directly at the LEDs and keep the sessions under 10 minutes.

The 850nm wavelength is invisible to the human eye. When the NIR switch is on, you may see a very dim red glow from the center of the diode, but the energy being emitted is at full therapeutic power. Do not stare into the "dim" lights to check them.

If you are new to PBM, we suggest a "Loading Phase": start with 5–8 minutes at a distance of 12 inches for the first week. This allows your mitochondria to adapt to the increased energy production before moving to full 20-minute sessions.

Budget panels often use repurposed industrial LEDs with wide wavelength variances (±20nm) and high flicker. Aetey uses custom-spectrum medical diodes with a precision of ±5nm, heavy-duty aluminum heat sinks, and shielded DC drivers to ensure zero-flicker and therapeutic-grade irradiance.

Yes. Our manufacturing facility is FDA-Registered, and our devices are cleared as Medical Devices. This means they have met stringent U.S. safety and efficacy standards for therapeutic light-emitting products.

Our LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours of continuous use. For a typical user doing one 20-minute session daily, the device is engineered to perform optimally for over 400 years.

Durability and safety. Carbon steel provides superior structural integrity and acts as an additional layer of EMF shielding. Unlike plastic housings, steel does not "off-gas" volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when the internal components warm up during use.

Cheaper LEDs experience "spectral drift" as they age or overheat. Aetey utilizes Active Thermal Management (high-RPM cooling fans) to keep diodes below 45°C, ensuring the output remains locked at exactly 660nm and 850nm for the life of the product.

Every Aetey panel undergoes a 24-hour "Burn-In" test to ensure electronic stability, followed by a spectroradiometer calibration to verify that irradiance (mW/cm²) and wavelength meet our clinical specifications.

Yes. All Aetey products are FCC certified for electromagnetic compatibility and use components that meet UL (Underwriters Laboratories) safety standards for electrical equipment.

We use 30-degree glass secondary lenses. Most consumer panels use 60-degree plastic lenses which scatter light. Our glass lenses focus the photons directly into the tissue, ensuring maximum penetration and preventing "power loss" as the light travels from the diode to your skin.

Absolutely. We provide independent lab reports showing our peak irradiance levels. We measure using scientific-grade spectroradiometers, not the cheap "solar power meters" often used by competitors to provide inflated, inaccurate readings.

Many LEDs flicker at a high frequency (like a strobe), which can cause headaches in sensitive users. Aetey uses high-end DC (Direct Current) power supplies that provide a constant, stable stream of energy to the LEDs, resulting in a 0% flicker rate.

We stand behind our engineering with a comprehensive 2-year warranty. If any component fails due to a manufacturing defect within 2 years, we will repair or replace the unit at no cost to you.

Yes. We use industrial-grade, dual-ball bearing fans. While they are designed to last decades, our modular internal design allows for easy servicing by a technician if a fan ever needs replacement.

Our internal drivers feature integrated surge protection. In the event of an electrical spike in your home, the device is designed to protect the sensitive LED diodes from being "fried."

We use heavy-gauge, grounded power cords and high-temp internal silicone wiring. Every connection is reinforced to withstand the vibrations of the cooling fans and the heat of long sessions.

Yes. Aetey panels feature a universal voltage power supply (100V-240V). Whether you are in the U.S., Europe, or Asia, the device will function perfectly without the need for a voltage transformer.

Acrylic lenses can yellow and become "cloudy" over time due to heat and UV exposure, which reduces light transmission. High-transmittance glass remains crystal clear forever, ensuring 100% of the light reaches your body.

The chassis is finished with a medical-grade powder coating. It is highly resistant to scratching, chipping, and fading, and it is designed to be wiped down safely with standard disinfectants.

Yes. We offer a 30-day risk-free trial. We are so confident in the quality and results of our technology that we allow U.S. customers to test the device in their own homes for two months.

Safety is our priority. At the recommended treatment distance of 6 inches, Aetey panels emit zero detectable EMF (Electromagnetic Fields), making them among the safest devices on the market for daily use.

Yes. Most Aetey models feature integrated linking hardware. This allows you to start with one panel and "daisy-chain" additional units together later to build a full-body setup without needing multiple wall outlets.

When LEDs get too hot, their brightness drops (Thermal Decay). Aetey’s oversized aluminum heat sinks draw heat away from the chips 30% more effectively than standard designs, maintaining 100% power output throughout your entire session.

While components are sourced globally, our engineering, quality control, and customer support are managed by our dedicated team to ensure U.S. consumers receive the high-level service they expect.

Most "budget" panels use repurposed industrial LEDs with high flicker rates and significant wavelength deviation (often ±15nm). Aetey utilizes medical-grade diodes with a precise ±5nm tolerance and high-output irradiance (105 mW/cm²), ensuring you receive a therapeutic dose rather than just "red-colored light."

While masks are convenient, they typically offer very low irradiance (usually <10 mW/cm²) and only target the skin's surface. Aetey panels provide the power necessary to penetrate deep into muscle and joint tissue, while also treating the face from a distance, offering much higher versatility and clinical efficacy.

Many competitors claim "Low EMF" but only measure at 12+ inches away. Aetey is engineered with shielded internal drivers and a grounded steel chassis to provide 0.0 µT EMF readings even at 6 inches, ensuring a truly safe cellular environment during treatment.

Aetey matches or exceeds the power output of the top professional brands (100+ mW/cm² at 6 inches). More importantly, we use validated spectroradiometers for our measurements, whereas many brands use solar meters that inflate power readings by up to 2x.

A 60-degree lens scatters light, meaning much of the energy is lost before it reaches your body. Our 30-degree secondary glass lenses focus the photons into a concentrated beam, driving the light deeper into the dermis and underlying tissues.

They serve different purposes. Saunas use Far-Infrared to heat the body and induce sweat (thermal). Aetey uses Red and Near-Infrared (photobiomodulation) to trigger a photochemical reaction in the mitochondria (non-thermal). For cellular repair and anti-aging, Aetey is the superior technology.

Many panels use cheap AC drivers that cause the light to pulse or flicker, which can lead to eye strain and headaches. Aetey uses high-quality DC constant-current drivers to provide a 100% flicker-free output, providing a premium, "calm" light experience.

Our NIR LEDs are high-powered and concentrated. Many competitors dilute their NIR output with lower-quality chips. Aetey’s 850nm is specifically chosen for its ability to pass through the "optical window" of human tissue to reach bones and deep joints.

Yes. Unlike standalone units, Aetey features modular linking technology. You can start with a single Pro-series panel and easily connect 2, 4, or even 6 units together to create a full-body setup that operates from a single master switch.

Wraps are limited by their battery life and low-power LEDs. Because they are flexible, the diodes are often less durable. An Aetey panel is a long-term health investment with a 50,000-hour lifespan and clinical-grade power that a wearable simply cannot match.

Heat causes LEDs to lose power (thermal decay). While cheaper brands use plastic housings that trap heat, Aetey uses oversized aluminum heat sinks and active cooling fans to maintain 100% irradiance throughout your entire 20-minute session.

660nm is more widely supported by clinical literature for its specific interaction with Cytochrome c Oxidase. While 630nm is effective for very superficial skin issues, 660nm offers a better balance of surface treatment and slightly deeper dermal penetration.

Steel is more durable and provides superior EMF shielding. While it makes the device heavier, it ensures the unit won't vibrate or rattle over years of use and provides a "pro-grade" feel that plastic competitors lack.

When you buy Aetey, you aren't just buying a box from a reseller. We offer U.S.-based support, a 2-year warranty, and a 30-day trial. You won't have to worry about high international shipping costs if you need a repair or a return.

Yes. We have tested our panels against standard consumer-grade panels. While competitors often show a 30-60% flicker rate on high-speed cameras, Aetey remains perfectly stable, which is essential for users with light sensitivities.

Cold Lasers are highly targeted for tiny areas (like a single wound). Aetey uses medical-grade LEDs to provide the same biological effect over a massive surface area (like your entire back or face), making it more practical for general health and recovery.

If a device emits light at 700nm or 950nm, much of that energy is absorbed by water or melanin before it reaches your cells. Aetey’s precision engineering ensures we stay exactly in the 850nm and 660nm peaks, where absorption is at its absolute maximum.

We focus on the "Power Peaks" (660/850). Some brands add 5-10 different wavelengths as a marketing tactic, but this "waters down" the irradiance. By focusing our power on the two most clinically-validated wavelengths, we ensure you get the most energy where it counts.

We believe in the clinical results of our devices, but we know biological changes take time. You have 30 days from the date of delivery to test the device in your own home. If you aren't satisfied with the results, you can return it for a refund. This allows your body the necessary 8-week window to show structural improvements in skin and tissue.

Every Aetey panel comes with a 2-year comprehensive warranty. This covers all defects in materials and workmanship, including LED failure, driver issues, or cooling fan malfunctions. If your device stops performing to its technical specifications within 2 years, we will repair or replace it at no cost to you.

Efficiency is our priority. Most orders are processed within 1–2 business days (Monday–Friday). You will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number as soon as your panel leaves our distribution center.

To ensure safe handling of high-precision medical electronics, we partner with FedEx, UPS, and DHL. These carriers provide the reliability and "white-glove" handling required for heavy-duty steel-chassis devices.

For units in stock at our U.S. warehouses, delivery typically takes 3–7 business days. If an item is fulfilling from our international facility due to high demand, delivery may take 10–14 business days. We always specify the estimated timeline at checkout.

Yes. We provide free standard shipping on all orders within the contiguous United States. We believe the price you see should be the price you pay, with no hidden logistics fees at the final step.

Yes. Aetey panels are shipped in heavy-duty, double-walled corrugated boxes with custom-fitted EPE foam inserts. The exterior packaging is discreet to prevent "porch piracy," ensuring your investment arrives safely and privately.

Please inspect your package upon arrival. If the unit is damaged during transit, contact us within 48 hours with photos of the packaging and the device. We will initiate an immediate "Dead on Arrival" (DOA) replacement at no cost to you.

We can modify shipping addresses if the request is made within 12 hours of the order. Once the device has been assigned a tracking number and handed to the carrier, we are unable to redirect the shipment due to security protocols.

Our standard warranty covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover accidental damage (e.g., dropping the unit), water damage, or unauthorized electrical modifications. However, we do offer out-of-warranty repair services at a nominal cost for our customers.

To start a return, simply email our support team with your order number. We will provide you with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) and the specific return address. Items sent back without an RMA cannot be processed.

If the device is returned in "like-new" condition with all original packaging, we do not charge a restocking fee. However, if the unit is returned damaged, missing accessories (goggles/cables), or without original packaging, a fee may be deducted from the refund to cover refurbishment.

For elective returns (using the 30-day trial), the customer is responsible for return shipping and insurance. For warranty-related repairs or defective units, Aetey covers the shipping costs as part of our commitment to quality.

Once your return is received and inspected at our warehouse (usually within 3–5 business days of arrival), we trigger the refund. It typically takes 5–10 business days for the credit to appear on your original payment method, depending on your bank.

No. The 2-year warranty is exclusive to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. This ensures we can maintain a high standard of service history for every device in our system.

Due to the size and weight of our professional panels, we generally cannot ship to P.O. Boxes. We do ship to APO/FPO addresses, though transit times may be longer due to military mail handling.

All Aetey shipments are fully insured. If your tracking information shows "delivered" but you haven't received it, or if the package stops moving for more than 7 days, we will open an investigation with the carrier and send a replacement if the loss is confirmed.

Yes, we ship to most countries worldwide. Please note that international customers are responsible for any local import duties and taxes (VAT/GST) required by their country’s customs department.

Standard warranties often require you to ship your device back for a 2–3 week repair. With Sterile Swap™, if a verified manufacturing defect occurs within the first year, we ship you a certified sterile replacement unit first, so your treatment protocol is never interrupted.

Every Aetey professional panel is backed by a 2-year comprehensive warranty. This is one of the longest in the industry, reflecting our confidence in our medical-grade hardware.

Yes. Our warranty covers the LED diodes, internal drivers, cooling fans, and the steel chassis. If a single LED cluster fails, it is covered.

Because Red Light Therapy is used for skin health and wound recovery, hygiene is critical. Every Swap™ unit undergoes a medical-grade sanitization process and is sealed in anti-static, sterile-barrier packaging before being shipped to you.

Simply email support@aetey.com with your order number and a short video (15-30 seconds) demonstrating the issue. Our U.S.-based technical team typically reviews and approves claims within 24 business hours.

For the first 180 days, Aetey covers 100% of shipping costs (both ways). After 180 days, the customer covers the inbound shipping to our service center, and Aetey pays for the outbound shipping of your repaired or swapped unit.

We believe in the "Right to Repair." If your device fails after 2 years, we offer a Legacy Service Program where you can send the unit in for a flat-fee repair or purchase discounted internal components to extend its life.

Our warranty is only valid for units purchased directly from aetey.com or an Authorized Aetey Partner. We cannot guarantee the authenticity or internal electrical safety of units sold on unauthorized discount sites.

Yes. If your device develops a flicker (modulation) that exceeds our 0% flicker-free standard, it is considered a driver defect and is fully covered under the warranty.

To ensure the highest level of service history tracking, the warranty is non-transferable and stays with the original purchaser.

The warranty is voided if the device is:

• Opened or disassembled by the user.
• Connected to an improper voltage (outside of 100V-240V).
• Modified with third-party mounting hardware that damages the chassis.
• Used in high-humidity environments (like a steam room).

Not at all. The 30-day trial is your "Satisfaction Window." Once that passes, your 2-year warranty remains in full effect to protect your long-term investment.

If your unit arrives damaged or non-functional, we trigger an Immediate Swap. We send a new unit via Expedited Shipping and provide a prepaid label for the return of the damaged one..

Certified Refurbished units typically carry a 1-year warranty instead of 2 years. The Sterile Swap™ program is exclusively available for new Pro-Series and Elite-Series models.

No. The warranty covers functional and mechanical defects. Minor scuffs on the steel chassis or paint fading over years of use are considered normal wear and tear and do not affect the therapeutic output.

If you are not eligible for a Swap™ and require a repair, our target turnaround is 5 business days from the moment we receive your device at our service center.

Yes. All included accessories—the heavy-duty power cable, the hanging kit, and the goggles—are covered for 1 year from the date of purchase.

Our technicians use oscilloscopes and spectroradiometers to test every returned unit. We look for component failure that deviates from our factory specifications.

In some cases, yes. If your model is discontinued, we will swap you for the newest equivalent model. If you wish to upgrade to a larger size during a claim, you may do so by paying the price difference.

Yes. We support our international community. However, international customers are responsible for all shipping costs and any local customs duties associated with warranty returns and replacements.

For professionals and dedicated biohackers, consistency is the key to results. Missing two weeks of light therapy can stall progress. Sterile Swap™ ensures that your "cellular fuel" is always available without the long wait times of traditional repair cycles.

Yes. We encourage pre-purchase consultations. Our team can help you decide between the Pro, Elite, or Full-Body systems based on your target treatment areas and budget, ensuring you don't over-buy or under-power your setup.

Yes. Every device includes a Premium Quick-Start Guide and a comprehensive User Manual. Additionally, we offer a digital "Video Resource Library" to show you exactly how to set up your hanging kit and use the control panel.

Our "Modular Support" team specializes in helping users link multiple panels. We can walk you through the Master/Slave configuration and daisy-chaining process via a video call if needed.

Once your order ships (usually within 1–2 business days), you will receive an automated email with a tracking link. You can also log into your Aetey account portal at any time to see the real-time status of your delivery.

Yes. If you feel you aren't seeing results during your trial, please contact us! Often, a simple adjustment to your distance or session time is all that’s needed to trigger the desired biological response.

We do offer special pricing for multi-unit orders (e.g., a "Home Gym" setup). Please contact our Concierge Team before placing your order to see if your purchase qualifies for a bundle discount.

Not a problem. We stock all replacement accessories in our warehouse. Contact support, and we can quickly ship you the specific parts you need to get back to your sessions.

Yes. Our support team can provide the Spectroradiometer Data Sheets for every model we sell. We believe in total transparency regarding power density (mW/cm²) and wavelength purity.

Yes, we host a private Aetey Biohackers Community where users share their success stories, skin progress photos, and recovery protocols. Access is granted to all verified Aetey device owners.

First, check our Troubleshooting Guide in the manual. If the issue persists, contact support for a "Technical Diagnosis." If a defect is confirmed, we will trigger your Sterile Swap™ or warranty repair immediately.

Because we process orders quickly, you have a 12-hour window to change or cancel your order. After the 12-hour mark, the order is typically already in the hands of the carrier.

Yes. Aetey Gift Cards are available and make an excellent choice for friends or family members looking to invest in their long-term wellness.

Our technical team operates Monday–Friday. However, we monitor our email and chat channels on weekends for urgent shipping issues or "Dead on Arrival" reports.

We love hearing from our users! You will receive a feedback invitation 30 days after your purchase. You can also email us directly with your "Success Story" for a chance to be featured on our social channels.

Yes. Since Aetey devices are FDA-Registered Class II Medical Devices, they are often eligible for HSA/FSA spending. Contact support with your order number, and we will provide a medical-grade itemized invoice for your provider.

For our full-body 4-panel or 6-panel "Elite Towers," we can coordinate with third-party assembly services in most major U.S. metropolitan areas to help you set up your professional light-wall.

We are committed to your success. If you follow our Consultation Protocol for 30 days and don't see measurable improvements, we will facilitate your return under the 30-day trial with no questions asked.
