Overview

This Centro Studi briefing covers the meaning of the term photobiomodulation and the aesthetic, wellness-only scope we use it in, with reference to the LUMEITALIA Wellness range (LUMEVITA and LUMEVITA HT series). The text stays technical and informative: it describes devices, parameters and formats without attributing health effects to them.

Scope of use: LUMEITALIA Wellness devices are wellness and aesthetic products. They are not medical devices, are not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and never replace the advice of a healthcare professional.

Key points

the term describes skin exposure to red and near-infrared light at defined wavelengths
in our scope this is a wellness and aesthetic topic, never a healthcare treatment
a session is described by wavelength, distance, duration and frequency of use

The parameters describing a device

Irradiance figures are not published: they depend on distance and configuration, and an out-of-context value cannot be verified. For model selection, the interactive guide offers a four-step path starting from body area, room of use and format.

Wavelengths (5-set) — 630, 660, 810, 830, 850 nm
Wavelengths (7-set) — 480, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850, 1060 nm
Beam angle — 30 degrees
Declared LED lifetime — 50,000 hours
Warranty — 3 years
Modes — RED, IR, RED and IR
Power supply — 100-240V or 100-277V AC 50/60 Hz depending on model

How to choose

Define the installation room: dedicated room, cabin, sauna or home use
Check the clear space in front of the panel for the chosen format
Select the wavelength set according to the intended use
Check the available power supply and the mounting type
Plan for the protective eyewear supplied with the device

Domande frequenti

Are LUMEITALIA Wellness devices medical devices?+

LUMEITALIA Wellness devices are wellness and aesthetic products. They are not medical devices, are not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and never replace the advice of a healthcare professional.

What is the difference between the 5- and 7-wavelength sets?+

The 5-set covers 630, 660, 810, 830 and 850 nm; the 7-set adds 480 nm and 1060 nm for wider spectral coverage. The choice depends on intended use and format.

Why are irradiance values not published?+

Because they depend on distance and configuration: a figure declared out of context could not be verified by the user.

Is protective eyewear required?+

Protective eyewear is supplied with the devices and should be worn during exposure, as stated in the user instructions.
