The Capillus Healing Pod Protocol
Designed to help you get the most out of your red and near-infrared LED sessions, whether your goal is relaxation, muscle recovery, better sleep, or improved skin health.
Capillus Healing Pod Protocol
This protocol is designed to deliver targeted photobiomodulation (PBM) using medical-grade red and near-infrared (NIR) LED wavelengths to modulate cellular activity and support whole-body cellular repair. Through mitochondrial chromophore absorption—primarily cytochrome-c oxidase—PBM enhances microcirculation, cellular ATP production, muscle recovery, collagen synthesis, and cutaneous rejuvenation, while promoting overall cellular homeostasis. It is intended for adults seeking a non-invasive, low-risk, at-home modality for improving skin quality, supporting musculoskeletal recovery, and enhancing general cellular wellness. The Capillus Healing Pod features a multi-wavelength, non-thermal, uniformly distributed LED architecture, delivering consistent irradiance across the treatment zone for effective outcomes with no discomfort, irritation, or downtime.
The Science
The Capillus Healing Pod operates through photobiomodulation (PBM), utilizing precisely calibrated red and near-infrared (NIR) LED wavelengths to penetrate cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues and activate mitochondrial photoacceptors—particularly cytochrome-c oxidase within the electron transport chain. This photonic absorption enhances mitochondrial respiration, increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, and modulates downstream signaling pathways involved in cellular repair, anti-inflammatory activity, and tissue regeneration. By stimulating fibroblast proliferation and upregulating collagen and elastin synthesis, these wavelengths support dermal remodeling, improved extracellular matrix integrity, and enhanced skin firmness and texture.
Red and NIR light also promote vasodilation through nitric oxide (NO) modulation, improving microcirculation, oxygenation, and nutrient delivery while reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators. The Capillus Healing Pod’s non-thermal, medical-grade, multi-wavelength LED array ensures uniform irradiance across all treated areas, allowing consistent activation of PBM cellular pathways throughout the body. Through these established photobiological mechanisms, the device supports smoother skin, accelerated recovery, reduced inflammation, and overall cellular wellness in a safe, non-invasive, at-home treatment modality.
Modes
1. Continuous Mode (Default – No Pulsing)
- Turn the device ON.
- The Healing Pod automatically begins in Continuous mode.
- This mode delivers steady light and is ideal for general wellness, recovery, and skin health.
2. 10 Hz Pulsed Mode
- With the device ON (in default Continuous mode).
- Press the ON/OFF button once.
- This activates 10 Hz Pulsed Mode, where the light pulses 10 times per second.
- Best for relaxation, calming the nervous system, and sleep support.
3. 40 Hz Pulsed Mode
- With the device ON, starting in default mode.
- Press the ON/OFF button twice (two presses total).
- This activates 40 Hz Pulsed Mode, pulsing 40 times per second.
- Best for mental clarity, alertness, and cognitive activation.
| Intent of Use | Time | Mode | Intensity | Clinical Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relaxation / Stress Reduction | 15–25 min | 10 Hz | P2–P3 | Supports nervous system calming |
| Sleep Support | 15–20 min | 10 Hz (evening) | P2 | Use 60–90 min before bedtime |
| Recovery / Pain Relief | 15–25 min | 10 Hz | P2–P3 | Circulation and tissue support |
| Skin Health | 20–30 min | Continuous | P3–P4 | Supports nervous system calming |
| Cognitive Clarity | 10–20 min | 40 Hz | P2–P3 | Enhances focus and alertness |
Session Settings
Session Length: 5–30 minutes

Mode Selection: Choose the lighting mode based on your goal:
Post-Session Guidelines
- Power off and unplug the device once treatment is complete.
- Allow the pod to cool before folding, transporting, or storing.
Cleaning:
- Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-toxic cleanser.
- Do not use abrasive tools, solvents, or alcohol-based products.
Storage:
- Store flat or loosely rolled, avoid sharp folds or creasing of LED panels.
- Do not stack heavy objects on top of the device.
- Keep away from moisture; never submerge or expose to water.
