Red Light Therapy

What is Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy is a natural, non-invasive science-backed treatment for a variety of skin and deep tissue conditions. RLT treats mitochondrial dysfunction, increases collagen production, boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, relieves joint and back pain, helps with exercise recovery, and reduces signs of aging.

Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that involves shining red and/or near-infrared (NIR) light onto bare skin to stimulate healing at the cellular level.

The Healing Power of RLT

Today, scientists know that specific wavelengths of light have unique and
beneficial effects on the human body. Red wavelengths range from 620-750
nanometers (nm), and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths range from 780-1200nm.

Decades of research have shown that the greatest amount of positive biological
effects on the human body is achieved with red light between 630-660nm and NIR light between 810-850nm. This is known as the “Therapeutic window.”

For light to have the most beneficial effects it has to absorb into the body’s
tissues.

With its longer wavelengths, NIR light can be absorbed much deeper into
penetrating muscle, connective tissue, the viscera, the internal organs of the body, and even bone. NIR penetrates deep enough to treat pain, peripheral neuropathy, muscle aches, and many other conditions. Most importantly, NIR light absorbs deeply enough into the body to address the inflammation that interferes with normal cellular functioning.
