Frequently asked questions
What is red light therapy (RLT)?
What is red light therapy (RLT)?
Red light therapy is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular function in the body. It's non-invasive and painless.
How does red light therapy work?
How does red light therapy work?
Red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by cells, particularly by mitochondria (the “powerhouse” of the cell). This helps the cells produce more energy (ATP), leading to faster healing, reduced inflammation, and improved overall function.
Is red light therapy safe?
Is red light therapy safe?
Yes, red light therapy is generally considered very safe when used properly. It’s non-invasive, doesn’t use UV light (which can damage skin), and has minimal side effects.
What is red light therapy used for?

Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness or tightness in the skin. Overuse may lead to light sensitivity or mild irritation.
What’s the science behind red light therapy?
What’s the science behind red light therapy?
It’s based on photobiomodulation (PBM), a process where light affects cells at a biological level. Hundreds of peer-reviewed studies have shown positive effects on various tissues and conditions.
Can I use red light therapy if I have a medical condition?
Can I use red light therapy if I have a medical condition?
In many cases, yes—but you should talk to your doctor first, especially if you’re pregnant, have active cancer, or are on medications that cause light sensitivity.
