Red light therapy uses both red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. As the light photons pass through the body’s tissue in and beneath the skin, they stimulate energy production in the mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles within cells. This leads to a ripple effect throughout the body with many scientifically validated health benefits. Although it should not be considered a cure for any condition, red light therapy has been shown to be a powerful complementary treatment. Some of the well-known benefits of red light therapy are reducing chronic inflammation, boosting circulation, and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Red light therapy treats conditions like anti-aging, chronic skin disorders, hair loss, wound healing and scar reduction, chronic pain, weight loss, brain health, and muscle health. In terms of recovery, red light therapy helps alleviate delayed-onset muscle soreness as well as helps with any pain and inflammation from acute muscle conditions. As a preventive measure, regular LED light therapy before exercise can maintain optimal muscle functioning and prevent injury.
