Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity. Instead of using heat or ultraviolet (UV) radiation, RLT works at the cellular level by targeting the mitochondria to increase energy production.

​

Red Light Therapy uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to rejuvenate skin, reduce inflammation, and promote healing at the cellular level. During a treatment, low-energy photons from red or near-infrared light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria in cells. This absorption triggers a cascade of effects that enhance the cell’s ability to function and repair itself. 

• Boosted ATP production: The light energy increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently to rejuvenate and repair tissues.

• Reduced inflammation: The therapy helps to reduce inflammation in cells, which may help relieve pain and accelerate healing.

• Increased blood flow: By stimulating the release of nitric oxide, RLT promotes vasodilation (the widening of blood vessels). This leads to improved blood circulation, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.

• Enhanced collagen production: RLT stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that give skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity.
