Red Light Therapy involves the use of red and/or near-infrared light, which is perceived by the body differently due to their distinct wavelengths. Red light is visible, whereas near-infrared light is not seen but can be sensed as warmth.
How Does Red Light Work?
The concept behind RLT is the exposure of the skin to specific light wavelengths. The current science shows that these wavelengths can be absorbed by the mitochondria in cells, potentially supporting and improving cellular function.
🔴Red light goes from 630nm to 700nm is usually used for:
Rejuvenating the skin
Treating scarring
Eye health
Reduce acne breakouts
Stimulating hair growth
Sleep improvement
Increase blood flow and tissue restoration
🔴Near Infrared (NIR) goes from 700nm to 1100nm and is able to reach the deepest layers of the body. It’s usually used for:
Enhance physical performance
Accelerate bone and tendon healing
Speed up wound healing
Accelerate injury recovery time
Reduce inflammation after an injury
Reduce depression and anxiety
Increase blood flow and tissue restoration
Pain treatment
