Research

Research you can actually inspect.

NrG links directly to representative human studies so you can see the wavelength, device type, protocol, population, and outcome for yourself.

The bigger picture

A substantial field—with protocol-dependent results.

A 2025 umbrella review synthesized 15 meta-analyses covering 204 randomized clinical trials and more than 9,000 participants. It found meaningful effects for some outcomes, while the certainty of evidence for many endpoints remained low to moderate.

How to read this page: the studies below support why each wavelength is scientifically interesting. They do not establish that an NrG panel reproduces the outcome of a different device, dose, delivery method, or clinical protocol.

Representative human studies

Nine channels. Nine research snapshots.

Each card points to human research at the NrG wavelength or, where clearly labeled, a nearby wavelength. Exact study parameters differ from NrG hardware.

530 nm · Green

Nearby green body-contouring research

A randomized sham-controlled study using nearby 532 nm green low-level laser light reported improvements in cellulite appearance and thigh circumference. NrG uses 530 nm LEDs, so the study is relevant research context—not proof or a guarantee of body-contouring results from an NrG panel.

590 nm · Yellow / amber

Wrinkle & photoaging research

A randomized split-face trial compared 590 nm and 660 nm at the same dose and reported reduced periocular wrinkle volume with both wavelengths. Separate 590 nm studies have examined photoaging, texture, and background erythema.

630 nm · Red

Skin texture, collagen & wrinkle research

Randomized human LED studies around 630–633 nm have reported changes in wrinkle appearance, elasticity, and collagen-related measures. A 2025 sham-controlled study also evaluated 630 nm combined with 850 nm for crow’s-feet appearance.

660 nm · Red

Skin appearance & active-lifestyle research

A randomized cosmetic trial directly evaluated 660 nm LED light for wrinkle appearance. Broader reviews of red and near-infrared PBM trials in healthy people have examined exercise performance and fatigue, with substantial variation in devices, wavelengths, doses, and results.

670 nm · Deep red

Mixed-wavelength fitness research

A randomized trial in healthy volunteers used 670 nm LEDs together with 875 nm LEDs and 905 nm lasers before exercise and reported performance and post-exercise outcomes. Because the intervention combined wavelengths and light sources, it does not establish a 670 nm-only benefit.

810 nm · Near infrared

Neural-activity & sleep-wellness research

A randomized double-blind study evaluated 810 nm transcranial PBM and measured changes in neural oscillations. A separate randomized study used a 660/740/810/870 nm head-and-neck device and found self-reported sleep, relaxation, and mood improvements, while objective actigraphy outcomes did not differ from sham.

830 nm · Near infrared

Skin appearance & healthy-volunteer research

830 nm appears in randomized LED skin-rejuvenation research measuring wrinkle appearance, elasticity, and collagen-related outcomes. A separate randomized study in healthy volunteers measured a short-term microcirculatory response after 830 nm exposure.

850 nm · Near infrared

Muscle & performance research

A randomized study in volleyball athletes used 850 nm PBM before training and reported strength-related benefits. Separate 2025 human research evaluated 850 nm together with 630 nm for skin appearance.

1060 nm · Extended NIR

Nearby 1064 nm working-memory research

NrG uses 1060 nm LEDs. A human transcranial study at nearby 1064 nm used a laser on a specific right-prefrontal location and reported improved visual working-memory capacity. This adjacent-wavelength, different-device study does not establish the same outcome for an NrG panel.

Use the studies as context. NrG is designed as a wellness and light-therapy platform. Research outcomes depend on the exact wavelength, irradiance, fluence, distance, device type, treatment geometry, population, and protocol used in each study.
