Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a treatment method that utilizes red and/or near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. Red light devices have LED bulbs that expose the skin to specific wavelengths of light, measured in nanometers (nm). Red light therapy encompasses red light (620nm to 750 nm) and NIR light (800nm to 2,500 nm), both of which have significant therapeutic applications.
When shined on bare skin, red or NIR light is absorbed by mitochondria, enhancing energy production within cells and triggering positive biological processes. This leads to improved cellular functions and supports the functioning of the body’s systems,. This allows for rapid relief of symptoms and internal healing. The red light emitted by LED panels is heat-free, contains no harmful ultraviolet light, and has no known side effects. NIR light produces some heat. It generates a warm sensation, similar to being on a tanning bed.
Red light therapy is non-invasive, painless, enjoyable, and has immense potential in various health and wellness areas for both patients and providers.
