Red Light and Near Infrared Therapy

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) and Near Infrared (NIR) has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function in cells. Just like plants use sunlight to heal and grow, our body is able to harness specific wavelengths of light and turn them into cellular energy. This, in turn, stimulates your body’s natural healing processes.

RLT has been shown to increase mitochondrial function and collagen production. Studies reveal that red light heals age-related macular degeneration of the eyes and also show a wide range of hormone benefits in both female and men. Making energy more efficient throughout your body improves physical function, speeds the healing process, and lowers inflammation & pain, as demonstrated in peer-reviewed studies.(1)

Benefits of red light & near infrared therapy can include:

  • Increased energy

  • Heals age-related macular degeneration of the eyes

  • Speeds healing & recovery

  • Improved sleep

  • Lowers inflammation & pain

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation. The therapy works by penetrating deep into the skin and stimulating cellular activity, which in turn promotes the production of collagen and ATP, two important molecules for healthy cell function.

The benefits of red light therapy are numerous and include improving skin health, reducing pain and inflammation, promoting wound healing, improving circulation, and boosting mood and energy. It has also been studied as a potential treatment for conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and arthritis.

Research has shown that red light therapy is safe and effective. In a study of patients with knee osteoarthritis, for example, red light therapy was found to significantly reduce pain and improve function. Another study found that red light therapy improved skin complexion and reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Overall, red light therapy is a promising treatment with a wide range of potential benefits. Whether you are looking to improve your skin health, reduce pain and inflammation, or simply boost your mood and energy levels, red light therapy may be a valuable tool in achieving your health and wellness goals.
