The Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, has shown positive effects on mitochondrial function. By penetrating the mitochondria and stimulating nitric oxide production, red light therapy increases ATP production, enhances blood flow, and promotes healing. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, improve collagen production, accelerate hair growth, and activate stem cells. Athletes often utilize red light therapy for faster recovery. The therapy can be done once or twice a day, depending on the condition being treated.
