Red Light HEALTH BENEFITS

The Science of Cellular Renewal

Light is ENERGY; traveling around us in the form of waves that enter the body naturally. Light therapy has been found in literature since the late 1800s and Niels Ryberg Finsen won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1903 for the potential to treat Lupus. Red light and near infrared light penetrates through tissues into the body more so than other wavelengths. This engages the mitochondria, your body's powerhouse deep within the cells that can recharge your energy levels along with many other potential benefits.

Skin Rejuvenation

Red light therapy supports healthier-looking skin by stimulating processes involved in collagen production and skin remodeling. Controlled human studies have found reductions in wrinkle volume and visible signs of photoaging following repeated red-light photobiomodulation treatments.

Reduced Muscle Soreness

Red light therapy reduces delayed-onset muscle soreness following strenuous exercise. Recent systematic reviews have found lower soreness in the days after exercise when photobiomodulation is applied to working muscles, supporting a more comfortable recovery between workouts.

Faster Muscle Recovery

Photobiomodulation supports the recovery of muscle strength after demanding exercise. Meta-analyses of randomized trials have found improved strength recovery and lower markers of exercise-induced muscle damage following appropriately dosed red and near-infrared light treatments.

Increased Muscle Endurance

Red light therapy improves muscle endurance during exercise by helping delay fatigue and sustain repeated muscular effort. Systematic reviews have found increases in repetitions and time to exhaustion when photobiomodulation is applied before exercise.

Joint Pain Relief

Photobiomodulation reduces pain associated with knee osteoarthritis and supports improved physical function. A 2024 systematic review of placebo-controlled trials found significant reductions in resting knee pain following red and near-infrared light treatment.

Tendon Comfort & Function

Red and near-infrared light therapy supports pain relief and physical function in people with tendinopathy. A systematic review of 17 randomized trials found greater reductions in tendon pain and improvements in function when photobiomodulation was incorporated alongside exercise therapy.

Increased Hair Density

Red light photobiomodulation promotes hair growth in people with androgenetic hair loss. Meta-analyses of randomized trials have found significant increases in hair density after repeated low-level red-light treatment compared with sham devices in both men and women.

Better Sleep Quality

Red and near-infrared photobiomodulation supports better sleep quality. Controlled studies have recorded improved sleep scores following PBM, while research specifically examining whole-body red light has also reported improved sleep quality and favorable nighttime physiological changes.
