Red Light Therapy

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy uses low levels of red light to target your skin and cells, working by increasing the production of energy in your mitochondria — your cells' power sources. It's also known as low-level laser therapy, low-power laser therapy, or photobiomodulation, and uses continuous beams of low-energy red light between 600 and 700 nanometers in wavelength.

By enhancing cellular function, red light therapy may help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, promote healing, repair muscles and tissues, and relieve pain.

Red light therapy benefits

• Skin health: red light stimulates collagen, helping reduce wrinkles, acne, and scarring while enhancing skin tone and texture.
• Pain relief: increased blood flow and decreased inflammation can help ease arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint pain.
• Full-body recovery: full-body red light therapy supports whole-body recovery, boosts energy, and promotes faster healing.

How does red light therapy work?

Sessions involve exposing the skin to red LED light, which penetrates more deeply than blue light and stimulates the mitochondria to produce more energy. Depending on your goals, treatment can be delivered with red light masks that fit over the face, therapy beds and panels for larger areas, or handheld wands for small, targeted spots.
