Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is exploding in popularity thanks to growing awareness of its scientifically proven benefits, from clearing up chronic skin conditions to improving sleep.

The term red light therapy refers to the application of a narrow spectrum of visible light, including red light (630nm to 660nm) and near-infrared light (NIR) (800nm to 850nm). This treatment occurs in what’s called the “therapeutic window,” whereby the desired outcome is achieved without the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. When used as directed, red light is safe and effective.

The human body is highly responsive to light. Different wavelengths, which correspond to different colors, penetrate the skin to varying depths where the light stimulates natural biological processes. Sunlight has long been hailed as a therapy for chronic skin conditions, seasonal depression, and other health problems. But since prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) rays is harmful, natural sunlight is unfortunately not the best solution. Red light therapy is also called photobiomodulation, or low-level laser therapy. It uses light-emitting diode (LED) devices to expose the skin to specific wavelengths of light that are known to have innumerable therapeutic benefits.ts.

Time to get your GLOW on!

The primary benefits of red light therapy are due to stimulation of energy production within cells, which has a positive ripple effect on the skin, muscles, bones, and connective tissues.

Best results are achieved from consistent sessions 3-5 times a week for 6-8 weeks.

Some additional benefits of red light therapy are as follows:

  • Reduction of scars and the effects of aging by boosting collagen production

  • Relief from symptoms of acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other chronic skin conditions

  • Restored hair growth

  • Accelerated wound healing

  • Faster muscle recovery, and muscle growth

  • Pain management, including neuropathic pain

  • Improved symptoms from depression, anxiety, and insomnia.

  • Stimulation of the immune system, including the lymphatic system

Red light stimulates the body at the cellular level, providing a host of benefits for a variety of conditions or health concerns.
