What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation (PBM), is a non-invasive treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular energy production. The light is absorbed by mitochondria in your cells, increasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) levels. This boost in energy helps reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support the body’s natural healing process.

How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red light therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to your body’s cells. This light is absorbed by the mitochondria, which boosts the production of ATP, which is the energy source cells need to function. Increased ATP helps cells repair, regenerate, and reduce inflammation, supporting overall healing and recovery.

How frequently should I receive Red Light Therapy?

To see results from red light therapy, most people benefit from using it 3–5 times per week. Consistency is key, especially in the first few weeks of treatment. Many users begin to notice improvements in pain, inflammation, or skin tone within 2–4 weeks. Long-term benefits are best achieved with ongoing, regular use. With that said any treatment is better than no treatment!

Is Red Light Therapy safe?

Yes, red light therapy is considered safe and non-invasive when used properly. It does not use UV rays, so there’s no risk of skin damage or burns. Most people experience no side effects only positive ones! And treatments are painless as the lights do not get overly warm. Goggles can be worn for eye safety although not necessary.
