Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy, also known as Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation (PBM), uses specific wavelengths of red, near-infrared, and blue light to stimulate cellular activity and enhance tissue repair. This non-invasive treatment increases ATP production, supports mitochondrial function, and improves microcirculation, helping to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and alleviate pain.
How Red Light Therapy Works
Light energy is absorbed by photoacceptors in the mitochondria, stimulating the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)—the energy source for cellular processes. This increase in cellular energy promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and improves overall skin and muscle health. Each wavelength plays a targeted role:
- Red Light (640nm): Boosts collagen/elastin production, increases circulation, and supports skin and tissue repair.
- Near-Infrared (880nm): Penetrates deeply to reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and support muscle/joint recovery.
- Blue Light (465nm): Destroys acne-causing bacteria and helps clear skin lesions.
