Long wavelength light like red light and near-infrared light has this amazing ability to penetrate through tissues, including your skin. And so if we were to shine red light or near-infrared light onto your arm, it would pass through that top layer of skin. It might impact it a little bit, but it could penetrate deeper into your skin, not just to the skin layers, but maybe even down to the bone, maybe even down to the bone marrow.
