Red Light Therapy

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT)—also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation—is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function.

By penetrating deep into the skin and underlying tissues, red light therapy promotes energy production within your cells, helping the body heal from the inside out.

How Red Light Therapy Works

Red light therapy involves exposure to red or near-infrared light, typically between 600–850 nanometers in wavelength. This light stimulates mitochondrial activity in your cells, increasing ATP production, the energy source your body uses for healing and regeneration.

The treatment is safe, painless, and typically takes 10–20 minutes per session, with no downtime or discomfort.
