What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is a non-invasive technique that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity. Research suggests these wavelengths may support mitochondrial function, energy production, and cellular repair. It is also known as photobiomodulation.

Is red light therapy scientifically supported?

Red and near-infrared light therapy have been investigated in thousands of peer-reviewed studies examining cellular metabolism, inflammation, circulation, and neurological function. Research is ongoing in both clinical and academic settings.

What is the most comfortable red light helmet?

The Well Red Coronet is the lightest red light helmet and is the most comfortable to wear. It is also at the same time the coolest and highest intensity helmet because of it's open design, allowing the free flow of air to cool the scalp and helmet.

What is the best value red light helmet?

The Well Red Coronet combines low cost (under $1,000) with high output at each of the two optimum wavelengths (670 and 810nm) shown by clinical research to be the most effective. This makes the Coronet the best overall choice regardless of price.

Is the Coronet involved in any clinical trials?

The Well Red Coronet is currently being evaluated in several clinical trials, including those at Clinatec in Grenoble, France, the University of Lancashire in England and the National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM) in Melbourne, Australia.

Clinical trials

Trial 1 — University of Sydney / Australasian Research Institute (2018–2021)

"Improvements in Clinical Signs of Parkinson's Disease Using Photobiomodulation" Lead: Dr. Ann Liebert Registry: ACTRN12618000038291p (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry) This home-based photobiomodulation therapy trial recruited 12 participants with idiopathic PD and used the Well Red Duo Coronet as one of the transcranial devices. The trial demonstrated that home-based, self-applied PBM has the potential to complement standard therapies and manage symptoms.

Trial 2 — NIIM Melbourne (ongoing)

Cognition and Photobiomodulation Trial, National Institute of Integrative Medicine, Melbourne.
The Well Red Duo Coronet is currently being used in a double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled feasibility clinical trial at the National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM) in Melbourne, Australia to measure the effect of photobiomodulation with red light on cognitive function in adults with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's Disease.

Trial 3 — Clinatec Institute, Grenoble, France (ongoing)

Intracranial + Transcranial PBM for Parkinson's Disease The Well Red Duo Coronet is being used in a double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled clinical trial at the Clinatec Institute in Grenoble, France, which is investigating both intracranial implants and transcranial light devices.

Trial 4 — University of Sydney (randomised feasibility study, 2023)

"A novel transcranial photobiomodulation device to address motor signs of Parkinson's disease: a parallel randomised feasibility study" Herkes G, McGee C, Liebert A, Bicknell B, et al. eClinicalMedicine (The Lancet) 2023 Dec;66:102338. doi:10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102338 This was a double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled feasibility trial involving patients aged 59–85 with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. They were treated with the Well Red Duo Coronet transcranial PBM helmet for 12 weeks (72 treatments), delivered in participants' homes and monitored via Zoom.

Trial 5 — University of Lancashire, England, UK (starting)

Intracranial + Transcranial PBM for Parkinson's Disease The Well Red Duo Coronet is being used in clinical trials at the University of Lancashire in England, which is investigating the effect of the Well Red Duo Coronet transcranial light device. This is a double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled trial.

Details about the Duo Coronet

The Duo Coronet is made from aluminium into which high-quality, high-efficiency bespoke individual LED lights are soldered and controlled through firmware in the micro-controller that is built into the frame.
Visible red 670nm and near infrared 810nm shone in sequence have been shown to have the best effect on the cells in the brain. The visible red 670nm is particularly important, as it is a wavelength used by cells to communicate with each other. Cells have the apparatus to both emit and receive faint light pulses, called biophotons. It is thought that 670nm biophotons are sent by healthy cells to ailing cells to assist ailing cells function better. 670nm biophotons are strongly associated with cell health, and the Duo Coronet taps into this pre-existing cellular medical system.
Near infrared 810nm has the best penetration profile, and gets deeper into the brain. It is still effective in stimulating the cells that the 670nm light cannot reach. Learn how red and near infrared lights work.
Following our easy instructions, you can ease the Duo Coronet arms to fit your individual head shape. This is a critical feature, as the range of head shapes and sizes is infinite. Being able to shape the Duo Coronet for your head is the other reason why it is comfortable to wear. Here’s a link to the video instructions for setting up and fitting the Duo Coronet.
People who have had a stroke or traumatic brain injury which affects speech respond much better if they have lights shone only on the left side of their head, which houses the main speech area. The Duo Coronet can be set to shine lights only on the left side. Or the right side for that matter.
There are other situations in which just using visible red 670nm on its own is more helpful than using two wavelengths in sequence. This includes people struggling with Chronic Fatigue/Myalgic Encephalitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.
Children with autism, seizures, ADHD, anxiety and depression respond well to the Duo Coronet, but the light dose needs to be made much less powerful and run for a much shorter duration.
Contact us if you have questions about your situation and we will work with you to find the best approach.
Pause and Resume:
There are times when you will want to pause the Coronet session. Simply give the button in the centre – where the right spoke meets the central circle – a short press. View image.
To resume the Coronet session, give the button another short press.
Halve the light power:
The Pause and Resume button can also be used to reduce the intensity of both wavelengths to half power.
To do this, hold the button down for at least 4 seconds. This change will only last for the duration of the current session.
To return to normal intensity, repeat this operation or restart the session.
