IN-light
According to research, as many as 30% of people suffer from rhinitis. 50% of these cases are caused by allergies. In this indication, we explain how IN-light can help if you suffer from chronic colds or (allergic) rhinitis. Includes scientific information and a treatment protocol.

Allergic reactions are an overreaction of our immune system to allergens. These harmless allergens are seen by the body as a threat. This is also how it works when rhinitis is the result of an allergy. As a result, allergies can also be seen as the result of an incorrect defensive reaction by the immune system. Red light therapy from IN-light can help strengthen the immune system. Here are some other ways red light can help with allergic rhinitis and chronic colds:
Intranasal red light therapy can provide relief for (allergic) rhinitis and chronic colds, as well as asthma and even hay fever. Below you can read about the known benefits of this form of light therapy for these conditions.
1. It reduces inflammation
The red light helps to reduce swelling and irritation in the airways, among other things.
2. It stimulates recovery processes
Red light promotes tissue repair and reduces mucus production. This significantly reduces cold symptoms and other related complaints.
3. It regulates the immune system
It strengthens the immune system. This helps reduce or even prevent allergic reactions and clears the airways, ensuring balance in the T cells.
4. It improves levels of (anti)oxidants
This also counteracts excessive ROS (reactive oxygen species) and ensures cellular homeostasis.
Here we explain how low-level light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) can support the body at a cellular level, specifically in cases of chronic colds and rhinitis. One of the most important mechanisms of action is the stimulation of the natural antioxidant system. This system plays a central role in restoring the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in the body, an imbalance that is often present in inflammatory reactions, such as those associated with allergies and chronic nasal conditions.
In the 1990s, scientists investigated the effects of laser blood irradiation as a complementary, non-pharmaceutical therapy. These studies showed that this form of light therapy had a clear stimulating effect on the antioxidant system in the blood. This is important in conditions such as chronic colds and rhinitis, in which oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation play a role.
The researchers observed that cells showed signs of recovery sooner than when conventional treatment alone was used. Light therapy normalised cellular functions, enabling the body to better regulate inflammatory processes and reduce symptoms naturally.
Many patients notice improvements after just a few treatments, but this can vary from person to person. Every body is different. It is therefore impossible to say in advance when you will see results. We recommend that you use the laser for a while first.
Yes, the intranasal laser is safe and painless. It is a non-invasive therapy that has been used for many years.
For best results, we recommend using the laser twice a day, with at least 6 hours between sessions. You can build this up gradually during the first week. It is also important to use the laser consistently so that your body can get used to red light therapy. The manual will help you determine the exact length of each session based on your weight. After a while, you can go back to once a day for a maximum of 30 minutes.

The IN-light Pro is a high-quality wellness product. All products in this category are intended for daily use to support general health. The IN-light Pro does not make any direct medical claims, as the methodology of red light therapy focuses on the entire body. It is therefore not a treatment for a specific medical condition. The basis for health products is their ability to provide a general well-being or health benefit. A general health benefit is a health-related benefit that is not a treatment for a specific medical condition.
However, scientific evidence and user experiences show that using the IN-light can lead to improvements in specific conditions.
