What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is part of a system of photomedicine that uses different wavelengths of light to restore the body, rejuvenate the skin, treat physical ailments, address chronic pain, speed workout recovery, improve and deepen sleep. This type of treatment goes by other names, including photobiomodulation, LED light therapy, phototherapy, and near-infrared light therapy.

Red light and near-infrared light (NIR light) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum of light emitted by the sun. Red light is visible, NIR light is invisible. These light waves are capable of penetrating the skin, reaching soft and hard tissue, affecting how they behave.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red light therapy works by stimulating the mitochondria in your cells, specifically enabling them to
produce ATP more efficiently. By supercharging the way your cells produce energy, you’ll have more
optimal performance throughout your entire body.

What’s the Importance of Mitochondria?

Within each and every one of our cells contain the powerhouses known as mitochondria. The mitochondria are responsible for giving the cells their energy, which cells then use to carry out cellular function.

Our cells are the foundation of every tissue, organ, and system in our bodies. When our cells are healthy and thriving, we experience deeper levels of wellness, from our hair growth to our skin condition, and even our athletic performance. Everything is affected by how well our cells are functioning.

Mitochondria have two big roles in our cells: to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and to release reactive oxygen species (ROS). ATP is good, it’s the energy currency our cells use to carry out their functions. ROS is a necessary byproduct of ATP production, but ROS isn’t good for our cells. The problem is that when mitochondria begin to lose function, they produce less ATP (the good guys) and more ROS (the bad guys).

Top Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Promoting Better Cellular Function and Energy
At the cellular level, red light therapy enhances cellular function, ultimately promoting overall health and energy levels. By encouraging mitochondrial function, the therapy assists cells in producing more energy, contributing to improved vitality and stamina. For many, this can mean more energy to tackle daily tasks and maintain an active lifestyle.

Moreover, increased energy production at the cellular level can positively impact one’s mental clarity and focus. Individuals often report a heightened sense of alertness and cognitive function, making red light therapy a support tool for both physical wellness and mental acuity.

Enhancing Skin and Hair – Wound Healing
Red light therapy has shown remarkable potential in enhancing the health and appearance of the skin. Many users report a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles after consistent treatment. The therapy works by stimulating collagen production, which is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. In addition to boosting collagen, red light therapy may also help improve skin tone and texture. Many individuals struggle with uneven skin tones, acne scars, or age spots. By encouraging the body’s natural healing processes, red light therapy helps rejuvenate the skin and promote an even complexion. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory properties of red light therapy can help calm irritated skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis .

The wound healing properties of red light therapy for recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic wounds is also exciting. The mechanism behind this is tied to increased collagen production and accelerated cellular regeneration in the area of injury reducing scar tissue formation and pain. Red light therapy also invigorates hair follicles by stimulating blood flow to the scalp, leading to enhanced nutrient delivery. This can result in healthier, fuller hair over time.

Reducing Inflammation – Boost Muscle Recovery and Joint Health
Red light therapy promotes circulation and speeds up the healing process, effectively reducing swelling and discomfort and facilitates quicker muscle recovery. This therapy offers a promising solution for enhancing joint health. The therapy targets inflamed areas, reducing swelling, which many arthritis patients find incredibly beneficial.

Furthermore, athletes frequently use red light therapy to prepare their muscles before intense activities. By warming up the tissues and enhancing blood flow, they often experience an increase in stamina and endurance. This proactive approach allows them to push their limits while minimizing the likelihood of post-workout soreness.

Alleviating Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression
Red light therapy can play a role in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression. By influencing hormonal balance and neurotransmitter levels, red light sessions may promote a sense of calm and emotional wellbeing. The gentle wavelengths of light emitted during red light therapy engage the brain’s biochemical pathways, which may reduce feelings of anxiousness.

Enhancing Sleep Quality and Circadian Rhythm
The effects of red light therapy extend to improving sleep quality and maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm. Red light therapy can help recalibrate the body’s internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep by promoting the production of melatonin.
