Red Light Therapy

An innovative, non-invasive treatment that employs light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or cold lasers to expose your skin to low levels of red or near-infrared light. Typically, red light wavelengths range from 620 to 700 nanometers (nm), while near-infrared light spans from 700 to 1100 nm. This therapy is gaining attention for its ability to support skin health, alleviate pain, and potentially improve other health conditions, though research is ongoing. RLT can be administered in clinics, spas, or at home using devices designed for personal use, offering flexibility in its application.

Red Light Therapy operates by utilizing panels, wands, beds, or smaller devices that emit red and near-infrared light, targeting specific areas or providing full-body exposure. During a session, which can last from just a few minutes to 20 minutes or longer, light penetrates the skin to stimulate cellular activity. This non-invasive approach is generally safe, with users experiencing minimal to no downtime. Some may notice a mild warmth in the treated area. RLT is thought to stimulate collagen production, promote wound healing, and reduce inflammation, among other benefits, though more studies are needed to fully substantiate these claims.
