Strong evidence supports its health benefits and it is now becoming a popular treatment skin healing and other benefits. It is FDA approved for chronic joint pain, slow to heal wounds, wrinkles, hair loss and acne. Many others have used it successfully for other issues, like psoriasis, improved circulation and better immune function.

What is Red Light Therapy?

• Red Light therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers red and near infrared (NIR) light to a person’s skin and cells.
• A high-quality red light therapy device uses light emitting diodes (LED) to deliver red and near infrared light on your body during a treatment session.
• When using this type of treatment, an individual can see the red light and feel the warmth from the near-infrared (NIR) light.
• Red light therapy is just like the wavelengths of light your body needs from sunlight, but without the heat or UV rays that may cause sun damage.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

• Red light therapy is effective because light intake is crucial for our health.
• It is essential for our cellular function and energy production, just like water, sleep, and the nutrients from food.
• Light is a foundational element of our health, however, most people do not get enough.
• Wavelengths of healthy light stimulate the mitochondria and help us create ATP energy more efficiently, with less inflammation and oxidative stress negatively impacting the process.
• When you use a red light therapy device, you are increasing your body’s ability to create and store energy.
