Red light therapy delivers low-energy red and near-infrared (NIR) light waves to the body through efficient LED bulbs. Red and NIR light have the same biological benefits and work synergistically, penetrating up to 5 - 10cm below the surface of the skin. Red light waves penetrate the superficial layers of the skin, and the longer wavelength NIR light targets deeper tissues like nerves, muscles, tendons and bone.

​

So, how does it work?

​

Red light boosts energy production in human cells by stimulating photoreceptor proteins called cytochrome C oxidase. This encourages the mitochondria -- the energy powerhouse of the cell -- to break down nitric oxide and efficiently generate more of the energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy currency of the cell and optimal ATP production supports health and repair by enabling the cells to perform efficiently and allowing the body to heal.

​

Additionally, red light therapy creates something called hormesis -- low-dose stress in the cell. This kind of short-term stress -- much like exercise -- is good for the body as it boosts protein synthesis and enzyme activation. It strengthens the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant defences in the body and improves the overall health and resilience of cells.

Red light waves also increase blood flow, thus improving nutrient and oxygen delivery to cells throughout the body.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

​

By affecting change and promoting healing at a cellular level, red light therapy delivers a varied range of benefits. An astonishing number of studies -- more than 3000 to be specific -- have established a multitude of health benefits due to red and infrared light.
