RED LIGHT THERAPY

Red Light Therapy: A Natural Way to Support Healing

 

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function. By penetrating the skin and reaching cells, this light helps boost energy production within the mitochondria, which in turn supports healing, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair.

​

This therapy has been studied for a wide range of benefits. Clinically, it’s known to improve skin health (reducing wrinkles, scars, and acne), ease joint and muscle pain, accelerate wound healing, and support recovery after injury or exercise. It may also have benefits for mood, sleep, hair growth, and reducing inflammation at a cellular level.

​

One of the key advantages of Red Light Therapy is its safety and simplicity. Sessions are painless, drug-free, and generally take just a few minutes, making it an easy addition to both medical and wellness routines. It’s used in clinics, physical therapy centers, dermatology offices, and even at home with FDA-cleared devices.

​

The mechanism behind its effects lies in how red and near-infrared light interact with the body at the cellular level. The light helps increase ATP (the cell’s energy currency), reduce oxidative stress, and improve circulation—allowing the body to repair and regenerate more efficiently.

​

Overall, Red Light Therapy is a promising and well-tolerated modality for supporting healing, enhancing recovery, and optimizing cellular health. While more research is still emerging, many users and clinicians report significant improvements in pain, function, and overall vitality.
