What is Red Light Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Red Light Therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that stimulates the mitochondria in our cells to produce more energy. With increased cellular energy, we can function, look, feel, and perform our best.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red and near-infrared light enters the cell's mitochondria and is absorbed by the protein cytochrome c oxidase (CCO). This increases the mitochondria’s activity and energy production (ATP). It also:
 • Increases ATP (the main energy source for cells), helping cells fight infection and heal faster.
 • Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), positively impacting gene expression and tissue repair.
 • Releases Nitric Oxide (NO), enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and improving oxygen and immune cell transport.

Why Is Red Light Therapy Important in Modern Life?
About 90% of our day is spent indoors, limiting our exposure to beneficial sunlight. This can disrupt our circadian rhythm, lower Vitamin D levels, and reduce overall health. Red Light Therapy mimics beneficial wavelengths from sunlight, supporting natural healing, energy, and immune function.

What Is the Difference Between Red and Near-Infrared Light?
 • Red Light (Visible to the Human Eye): Penetrates the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin.
 • Near-Infrared Light (Invisible to the Human Eye): Ideal for fat loss, pain relief, skin rejuvenation, and muscle/bone recovery.
