NASA began studying the healing effects of certain wavelengths of light on the body, a process known as photobiomodulation or PBM in the 1980s. Specific wavelengths of red (635nM) and near-infrared light (880nM) have been shown to penetrate deeply into the layers of the skin and stimulate the mitochondria. This causes the cell to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a compound that is essential to the function of every cell in the body.  It also causes the release of additional nitric oxide into the bloodstream which increases the oxygen level in the blood.  The combination of these two responses to red and near-infrared light provides highly oxygenated blood to areas that are injured or inflamed, aiding in healing and the relief of pain. It also causes cells to release fat into the bloodstream which is then burned as energy or eliminated from the body through the kidneys.  This added response results in a  flattening of the cells and a reduction in fat from areas such as the waist, buttocks, thighs, arms and even the chin.  It also  enhances collagen production which strengthens the skin and reduces lines, creases, and dimples.  Thus, comes the name Ultimate Light for the three benefits it provides:  Healing, Pain Relief and Fat Reduction.  

Studies have shown no negative side effects from the use of photobiomodulation on the body. Treatment with the Ultimate Light pad system is so simple and non-invasive that  no recovery time is needed.
