Red light therapy or low light therapy as it is sometimes called, originally developed by Nasa, is a non-invasive treatment using red light to stimulate cellular activity in the body.
When applied to the body, red light is absorbed by the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin and stimulates mitochondrial activity. The increased mitochondrial activity accelerates ATP production; the energy needed to power our cells and body. Additionally, red light therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production. This allows red light therapy to provide powerful results for a wide range of conditions.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy:
Skin Health: Red light therapy is often used for various skin-related concerns. It helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improve collagen production, and promote a more youthful complexion. It’s also used to treat acne, scars, and other dermatological conditions.
Pain Management: Some people use red light therapy to alleviate chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness. The therapy is believed to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation in affected areas.
Hair Growth: In the context of low-level laser therapy, red light therapy is used to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth in cases of hair loss or thinning.
Mental Health: There is ongoing research into the use of red light therapy to alleviate symptoms of depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The therapy may help improve mood by influencing neurotransmitter activity.
Athletic Performance: Some athletes use red light therapy to enhance muscle recovery and reduce exercise-related inflammation.
