The sunflower effect
Why Sunflower
Red and near-infrared light relieve chronic & acute pain through two independent mechanisms. The first is by increasing local blood circulation to reduce inflammation, which often causes chronic pain. The second mechanism is healing damaged tissue more quickly, which directly addresses the injury that is the root cause of pain and inflammation.
Red and near-infrared light are commonly used in dermatology and medical spas to address a wide range of skin concerns from acne to wrinkle reduction. Additionally, red and near-infrared light can penetrate into deeper layers of the skin to promote faster healing, increase the removal of waste products that cause acne, and boost collagen production.
One of the first findings in the field of Red Light (PBM) Therapy was enhanced hair growth. Today, many hair growth treatments are based in laser therapy. With LED PBM, light treatments for hair growth can now be done at home. Red and near-infrared light penetrate into cells and are absorbed by the mitochondria, or the cell structure responsible for producing energy. By increasing cellular energy within the hair follicle, PBM allows the hair follicles to perform optimally so they can generate new hair more quickly, even after significant hair loss.
Photobiomodulation works by boosting cellular energy to allow the cell, and thus the whole body, to function more efficiently. Our bodies are more than capable of healing wounds and injuries without the help of a red light therapy device; however, our cells are often not functioning at optimal capacity. Therefore, by giving cells light that can be converted into energy, PBM provides the optimal conditions to heal wounds as quickly as the body is able.
Generally, our mental health suffers when our brain and body lack enough of the nutrients and energy they need. One of these daily health requirements is sunlight. As a result, โchronic light deprivationโ is a major health concern in industrialized nations today. Photobiomodulation acts as a sunlight replacement therapy that delivers the safe wavelengths from the sun (red and near-infrared), without the damaging wavelengths (UV light). Therefore, red light therapy can improve mental health by replacing light that we miss out on during the daytime.
Over one third of the American population are sleep deprived, and the brain is responsible for controlling the switch from wake to sleep and sleep quality. Luckily, PBM has been clinically shown to improve sleep and reduce the negative effects of sleep loss, especially for cognitive performance. By helping our brain cells work more efficiently, PBM administered before bed helps the brain work more efficiently to coordinate sleep, minimize sleep problems, and sleep loss.
There is robust evidence PBM can improve the resiliency of cells against health concerns, including illnesses like COVID-19. This is due to a few reasons: 1) PBM directly affects the number of immunity factors in the blood, including inflammatory cytokines, and 2) PBM allows cells to recover faster after stress. Therefore, PBM has been found to help protect against illness, and reduce the progression and duration of illness.
Only specific wavelengths of light benefit health. The longer the wavelength, the deeper the healing.

Sunflower has total power output of 50 Watts, and is intended for a treatment area with a 6 in. radius. However, the maximum power per channel depends on the routine that is run.
Not yet, but we are always looking into solutions to make Sunflower more accessible to our customers!
JustLight opts for 2-day delivery via FedEx. We, however, cannot control any shipping delays once it leaves the warehouse.
The max recommended use is twice per routine per day, once in the morning and once in the evening. While you cannot damage yourself from overuse due to the safety of our device, but you can minimize the positive benefit with overexposure.
Many studies have shown that red/NIR light therapy effectively speeds up the healing of skin lesions, including surgical incisions. However, you should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment and before undertaking a new health care regimen.
At this time there is not enough data on digestive issues for us to develop a reliable routine. Therefore, we have not implemented a routine for the stomach. We will always be sure to let our customers know as soon as new routines are available on our Sunflower app!
