What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is a natural and gentle way to enhance your body's natural healing processes. Light gives us functional support and allows us to grow similarly to plants. By utilizing specific wavelengths of light, red light therapy can deliver many benefits that leave you looking and feeling your absolute best.

Red light therapy has been shown to offer many benefits, from relieving minor aches and pains to improving skin quality through collagen production to help ease the side effects of traumatic brain injuries. LED light therapy devices harness the regenerative healing red light wavelengths without more problematic UVA and UVB light rays that can cause skin cancer and premature aging.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

  • Near-infrared (NIR) light reduces overall inflammation in the body by decreasing the presence of inflammatory markers. This reduction can help easy the symptoms associated with joint pain, sore muscles, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.

  • Around the age of 30, male testosterone levels naturally start to decrease. Men hoping to achieve a natural boost to their sex drives, sexual satisfaction, fertility, and physical performance can reap benefits from led light therapy. Red and near-infrared wavelengths can stimulate photoreceptor proteins in the testes causing higher testosterone production. Other studies have theorized that low-level light therapy may affect the brain's pineal gland, significantly impacting reproduction.

  • LED light therapy can dramatically transform the skin. Red light wavelengths, in particular, target the mitochondrial chromophores within skin cells, generating the production of collagen proteins. Collagen stimulation yields more holistic and enduring benefits than simply resurfacing the outer layers of the skin. Stem cells may also be activated, increasing tissue repair. The result is accelerated healing and wound repair, improved appearance in hypertrophic scars, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved skin texture.

  • For high-performance athletes (and those who train like them), LED light therapy can help accelerate muscle repair following fatigue and injury, mitochondria within cells are exceptionally responsive to led light therapy, and muscle cells are exceptionally rich in mitochondria. LED light therapy may also stimulate stem cells, further aiding muscle recovery.

  • Alopecia, or hair loss, is a common disorder affecting 50% of males over 40 and 75% of females over 65. Studies have shown that LED light therapy can stimulate hair growth. Red light wavelengths are believed to stimulate epidermal stem cells in the hair follicle, shifting the follicle into the anagen (active growth) stage.

  • In a clinical study, neuropathic pain caused by a spinal cord injury was dramatically reduced. Red-light treatment near-infrared light wavelengths reduces overall pain, easing joint stiffness and soreness, diminishing inflammation, easing muscle spasms, and enhancing blood flow.

  • In many studies, LED light therapy has been clinically proven to increase the diameter of blood vessels and improve circulation. Moreover, LED light therapy also protects red blood cells against oxidative stress and limits platelet loss during surgical procedures.

  • The most significant benefit of led light therapy is its effect on the body's cells. One of the most critical outcomes of led light therapy on cellular function is the stimulation of collagen production. Collagen strengthens hair, is responsible for the health of connective tissue, and provides our skin with firmness and elasticity.
