Everyone else uses 2 wavelengths. Dahlia uses 4 — with independent intensity control and real-time sensors on every treatment panel. That's the difference.
Most red light therapy devices use just two wavelengths — typically 660nm and 850nm. Dahlia delivers four distinct wavelengths, each serving a specific purpose and body zone. This gives operators and clients a broader, more targeted treatment experience.
Red — Body Area
Visible red light used across the body area. Commonly associated with skin appearance support and surface-level wellness routines. This wavelength is absorbed at the skin level and is one of the most studied wavelengths in photobiomodulation research.
Red — Face Area Only
A dedicated facial wavelength tuned specifically for the face area. The 660nm wavelength is commonly associated with supporting healthy-looking skin appearance. By isolating this wavelength to the face panels, Dahlia can deliver targeted facial sessions without affecting body treatment parameters.
Near-Infrared — Body Area
Near-infrared light that penetrates deeper than visible red wavelengths. Invisible to the eye, 850nm NIR is commonly associated with recovery support and deeper tissue comfort routines. This is the standard NIR wavelength used across the body panels.
Full Infrared — Body Area
Full infrared at 940nm provides the deepest penetration of all four wavelengths. This wavelength reaches tissue layers that shorter wavelengths cannot. Most competitors don't include this wavelength at all — Dahlia is one of the few systems that delivers true full-spectrum infrared coverage.
More wavelengths means broader coverage across different tissue depths. But Dahlia doesn't just add wavelengths — it controls each one independently.
| Feature | Dahlia Health | Typical Competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Wavelengths | 4 (630, 660, 850, 940nm) | 2 (660, 850nm) |
| Infrared Depth | Full IR at 940nm for deepest penetration | Near-IR only (850nm max) |
| Dedicated Face Wavelength | Yes — 660nm isolated to face panels | No — same wavelengths everywhere |
| Independent Intensity Control | Each wavelength adjustable independently | On/Off only — no per-wavelength control |
| Real-Time Sensors | 16 SmartSegments™ with body-response sensors | No sensors — fixed output |
| Personalized Treatment | Algorithms adjust output per body zone | Same output for everyone |
| PTx™ Modalities | 5 prescriptive treatment modes | Single mode or manual toggle |
This is what makes PTx™ possible. Dahlia can manipulate the intensity of all four wavelengths independently — a patent-pending feature that no other system offers. This isn't just "on and off." It's intelligent, tunable light therapy.
The system runs intelligent algorithms that tune the bed to focus on a specific outcome based on how the wavelengths are combined. Each PTx™ modality uses a different wavelength recipe — that's how Pain PTx™ differs from Skin PTx™ or Recovery PTx™.
Every treatment panel — 16 in the Pinnacle Bed, 8 in the Summit — has a sensor that determines how that portion of the body is reacting to the treatment. The system turns wavelengths up or down based on what it's sensing, personalizing the session in real time.
Because each SmartSegment™ operates independently, the bed can deliver different intensity levels to different areas of the body simultaneously. Your shoulders might get more 850nm while your legs get a different mix — all within the same session.
PTx™ (Prescriptive Treatment Technology) is Dahlia's patent-pending system for delivering targeted outcomes by intelligently combining wavelengths. Other devices are on or off. Dahlia is tuned.
Emphasizes deeper-penetrating wavelengths (850nm, 940nm) at higher intensity to reach tissue layers associated with discomfort. Surface wavelengths are reduced.
Balanced mix across all four wavelengths with emphasis on NIR and full IR for post-activity recovery support. Sensors adjust based on body response.
Tuned wavelength combination designed to support general wellness goals. Independent intensity control allows the algorithm to optimize the session.
Prioritizes visible red wavelengths (630nm body, 660nm face) at the surface level. Deeper wavelengths are reduced to focus energy where it matters for skin appearance.
Full-spectrum delivery across all four wavelengths with sensor-driven adjustments to support general circulatory wellness routines.
With 4 wavelengths, independent intensity control, and real-time sensors on every panel, Dahlia doesn't just deliver light — it delivers personalized treatment. That means better outcomes for clients, more service options for your menu, and a technology story that no competitor can match.
