Harness the healing power of specific light wavelengths to promote cellular energy, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular function. This non-invasive treatment delivers healing light energy to your body’s cells, particularly the mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of your cells.
When the light wavelengths reach your cells, they stimulate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms. This boost in cellular energy enhances the body’s natural healing processes, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair.
Red Light Therapy typically uses wavelengths between 630-660nm (red light) and 810-850nm (near-infrared light). These specific wavelengths are able to penetrate through skin layers and be absorbed by cells, triggering a series of biological effects:
Reduces chronic pain conditions and decreases inflammation by modulating inflammatory pathways and increasing circulation to damaged tissues.
Promotes collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin tone and texture. Also effective for acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
Accelerates muscle recovery, reduces exercise-induced muscle damage, and enhances physical performance and endurance.
Emerging research suggests potential benefits for brain health, including improved cognitive function and neuroprotective effects.
Red Light Therapy has been studied and applied to treat a wide range of conditions. The effectiveness varies depending on the specific condition and individual factors. Here are some common therapeutic applications:
| Condition | Benefits | Typical Treatment |
|---|---|---|
|
Arthritis |
Reduces joint pain and inflammation |
3-5 sessions weekly for 4-8 weeks |
|
Wound Healing |
Accelerates tissue repair and reduces scarring |
Daily sessions until healing is complete |
|
Hair Loss |
Stimulates hair follicles and may promote regrowth |
2-3 sessions weekly for 12-16 weeks |
|
Muscle Recovery |
Reduces muscle soreness and speeds recovery |
Before/after intense workouts |
|
Seasonal Depression |
May help regulate mood and improve symptoms |
Daily morning sessions during winter months |
