What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, also called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, is a treatment method that uses red and/or near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.

When red or NIR light is shined on bare skin, mitochondria (the energy centers inside cells) soak up the light. This initiates increased energy production within individual cells and creates a ripple effect of positive biological processes.

Energized cells can perform their essential functions better and faster. This, in turn, supports the functioning of the body’s systems for rapid relief of symptoms and “healing from within.”

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy (RLT) offers several potential health benefits including:

  1. Skin Health: Promotes collagen production, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Also aids in healing wounds and reducing scars.
  2. Pain Relief: Helps alleviate chronic pain, especially in conditions like arthritis, by reducing inflammation.
  3. Muscle Recovery: Accelerates muscle recovery after exercise by increasing circulation and reducing inflammation.
  4. Joint Health: Eases joint pain and stiffness, particularly useful for those with arthritis or similar conditions.
  5. Mood Enhancement: May improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression by stimulating endorphin release.
  6. Hair Growth: Encourages hair growth in people with alopecia or thinning hair by stimulating follicles.
  7. Sleep Improvement: Enhances sleep quality by regulating melatonin production.
  8. Wound Healing: Speeds up the healing of injuries and reduces inflammation at the site of wounds.
  9. Reduced Inflammation: Decreases inflammation in tissues, which can benefit overall health and recovery from injury or illness.
  10. Cognitive Function: Some studies suggest it may improve cognitive performance and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Is red light therapy safe?

How long does a red light therapy session last?

Sessions typically last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your needs and goals.

How often should I do red light therapy?

For the best results, we recommend 3-5 sessions per week for the first few weeks, followed by maintenance sessions based on your needs. Regular use enhances long-term benefits.

Can I combine red light therapy with other treatments?

Absolutely! Many clients pair red light therapy with massage, sauna, yoga, float therapy, or facials for enhanced relaxation and recovery. It’s an excellent addition to any wellness routine.

What should I wear during my session?

For the best results, expose as much skin as possible to the light. You can wear minimal clothing or opt for a swimsuit or undergarments.

Some people notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others see gradual results over several weeks. Consistency is key to achieving the best outcomes.
