Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function and promote healing from within. This non-invasive treatment has been shown to improve a wide range of health conditions and enhance overall wellness.
Due to its penetration range, red light is used in deep tissue treatments to promote muscle recovery, boost skin rejuvenation, and relieve pain, improving general well-being and physical performance.

Red light therapy naturally stimulates your body’s own production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), a key element in cellular regeneration. It’s been identified as a great way to aid in faster healing, immune boosting, anti-aging, mood enhancement, muscle recovery and much more.
Within our cells, we have small structures called mitochondria. Much like the photosynthesis process in plants, these structures soak up light and convert its energy into cellular fuel.
When red light shines through the body, it interacts with the mitochondria, stimulating the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy currency in our bodies.
So, increased ATP production means there’s more energy within each cell. A cell with high energy is better able to perform its specialized functions, repair itself, and replicate.
This process stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation, causing a ripple effect that enhances overall health and contributes to faster healing.
While the lights themselves remain cool, during the treatment, your circulation may improve, leading to a sensation of warmth. Additionally, you might experience a rapid energy surge or even a sense of euphoria.
Consistent red light therapy use relieves pain in the body, including muscle pain from exercise, nerve pain, joint pain, and others. This is caused by an increase in the rapidity of energy production in the cells as a result of RLT stimulation.
Red light therapy treatment reduces inflammation, thus helping treat a wide variety of conditions that can be exacerbated in an over-inflamed cell environment. This may potentially help reduce the onset of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and more.
Research shows that treatment stimulates collagen production, which can slow down the aging process and in some cases even cause more youthful-looking skin. Collagen production is one of the many positive impacts of energizing and revitalizing the mitochondria.
Red Light therapy helps the body heal itself faster by stimulating the mitochondria, energizing cells to work more rapidly in pursuit of recovery. Increased collagen density, reduced inflammation, and a decrease in the proliferation of keloid fibroblasts all contribute to faster healing.
The frequency of sessions depends on your specific goals. If you're recovering from acute conditions such as post-surgery healing or athletic recovery, a few sessions may be sufficient. However, for chronic issues like inflammation, fatigue, or hair loss, a more extended treatment plan with multiple sessions is often necessary. While daily sessions are an option, we typically suggest beginning with 1 or 2 sessions per week initially to assess your body's response.
No. While your skin might feel warm to the touch or flushed after a session, red light and infrared cannot burn the skin.
Generally, adverse reactions to Red Light Therapy are uncommon. On the rare occasions when they do happen, they usually manifest as temporary redness in the treated skin area. These side effects are minor and short-lived. Red light therapy is a non-invasive, painless procedure that necessitates no recovery time, making it suitable for all skin types and tones.
