This podcast explores the benefits of red light therapy for the skin, including regeneration and improved elasticity. It also discusses the concept of hormesis and how a special skincare product can enhance the effects of red light therapy. Learn about combining red light therapy with other treatments, such as NAD boosting moisturizers and bio shield SPF 40, for optimal results.
Red light therapy improves cellular energy production and stimulates blood circulation, rejuvenating the skin and increasing overall energy levels.
To optimize red light therapy, consider factors such as time, distance, and device strength, and use it after sun exposure or workout sessions for maximum benefits.

The Function of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, utilizes red and near-infrared wavelengths between 600 to 1100 nanometers. It improves cellular energy production by aiding the release of nitric oxide from mitochondria and enhancing ATP production. This process rejuvenates the skin and increases overall energy levels. Red light therapy also stimulates blood circulation and repairs damage caused by oxidative stress. Additionally, it improves the efficiency of interfacial water channels in the skin, restoring elasticity and allowing better interaction with the environment.
Enhancing the Effects of Red Light Therapy
To optimize red light therapy, it is important to consider factors such as time, distance, and device strength. Red light therapy should be used after sun exposure to minimize damage and improve skin regeneration. For exercise-related benefits, red light therapy should be applied after the workout session to aid muscle recovery. The closer the red light therapy is to the body, the deeper the wavelengths penetrate. It is recommended to use red light therapy three times a week for 5 to 15 minutes per session. Combining red light therapy with methylene blue, cold plunges, or cryotherapy can enhance its effects.

Their formulas contain antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E to support skin barrier function, improve the skin's ability to combat pollution, and enhance the benefits of red light therapy. Products such as their NAD-boosting moisturizer, eye cream, bio-retinal, hyperbaric mask, and SPF 40 bio shield work synergistically with red light therapy to promote cellular rejuvenation, ATP production, and protection against environmental factors.
Curious how red light therapy works and how you can get the most out of your RLT sessions? If yes, this episode of the Biohacking Beauty Podcast is for you. Founder of Young Goose, Amitay Eshel, chats with us about why RLT is so powerful and modalities that will help us ensure we are using our RLT devices correctly for optimal results.
Plus, did you know free radicals and oxidative stress is trigged through red light therapy? While RLT has amazing benefits, the oxidative stress is a key issue. Amitay also explains what we can do to mitigate that damage so we can still enjoy the benefits without the negative side effects.
