The most well known studied mechanism of action surrounding red and near infrared light therapy is increased mitochondrial energy production in our cells. Red and near infrared light therapy helps the mitochondria create more of that energy known as ATP. The specific photons found in red and near infrared light interact with the photoreceptor within our cells called cytochrome c oxidase. The interaction simulates the mitochondria in our cells to use oxygen more efficiently, which allows the mitochondria to produce more ATP ( cellular energy). During the LED Therapy treatment chromophores within our cellular mitochondria absorb red and infrared light photons and convert them into energy. Once this red light energy has been absorbed by the body. It is then used by the cells to build new proteins such as collagen and elastin and to assist with cellular regeneration. When our cells have more energy they perform all of their functions better. When our cells are functioning optimally our bodies function optimally. Benefits are:

• Reduce inflammation

• Reduce recovery time

• Improve circulation

• Promote healthy cellular Function

• Stimulate Hair Growth

• Improve Skin Health

• Reduce Pain

Red Light (600-700nm)

This targets surface level concerns like skin health and collagen production. It penetrates the skin but doesn’t go deeper than 1-2mm

Infrared Light (700-850nm)

This penetrates deeper into the tissues, muscles and joints. Best for pain relief, reducing inflammation and supporting wound healing

Thanks to its comprehensive effects, red light therapy can bring about numerous changes: increased energy, healthier skin and hair, faster muscle recovery, reduced inflammation and pain, improved circulation, or higher collagen production.

The results depend on the outcome you expect. If you use the therapy daily, it will be the most effective and fastest. 

Within a few days: increased energy, mental well-being, and improved mood 
2–4 weeks: physical changes (improved skin quality, joint recovery, pain relief, etc.)

Consistency is important with red light therapy.

Of course, just make sure that the area that you’re treating is completely exposed.

We would recommend wearing protective glasses during therapy.

There are some, but most are influenced by individual sensitivity. Of course, also follow your feelings during and after therapy. 

Consult a doctor if:
– you suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland). 
– you are pregnant. Also increase the distance from the source when shining on the belly with near-infrared spectrum (NIR). It produces heat, so as not to cause unnecessary heating. 
– you experience photosensitivity. Whether natural or due to medication. 
– you are being treated for cancer. 
– you have open bleeding wounds. Overall blood circulation increases, so does the amount of lost blood. 
– you suffer from a specific disease.

The sessions can range from 10-20 minutes.
