Frequently Asked Questions
❓ FAQ
Q1: Why is 678nm called the "golden wavelength" for scalp photobiomodulation?
A: 678nm is positioned at the core of the optimal 650-680nm red light therapeutic window for photobiomodulation. This wavelength range has been extensively studied for its ability to activate hair follicles, improve scalp microcirculation, and support scalp wellness. 678nm maximizes these benefits while maintaining excellent tissue penetration depth.
Q2: What's the difference between 678nm VCSEL and 660nm LED for scalp applications?
A: 678nm VCSEL offers optimal wavelength positioning at the core of the therapeutic window (vs 660nm at the lower end), narrow beam (22° vs 120°), and more concentrated energy distribution. The precise 678nm wavelength control (±10nm) ensures optimal photobiomodulation effects compared to LED's wider tolerance (±20-30nm).
