How Red-Light Therapy Keeps Aging at Bay: Shedding Light on Youthful Skin
Red Light Therapy uses near-infrared wave lengths that penetrate deep into the skin and muscles. It stimulates your cell's Mitochondria, boosting energy production and your natural healing mechanisms.
People use Red Light Therapy for the following:
- Muscle recovery with increased production of new muscle protein
- Arthritis and joint pain relief
- Wound and injury healing
- Skin conditioning
- Anti-inflammation (painful)
- Fatigue decreases with treatments
- Better quality of sleep
- Chronic pain management
- Photodynamic bacteria purification
- Increase cell energy production
- Firm, decrease wrinkles and fine lines (face)
NOTE: It also kills bacteria through Photodynamic action, which stimulates your natural photosensitizing porphyrins to inactivate fungi and bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wear clothes and sunscreen?
Just as clothes block UV light from penetrating your skin, they will also block red and near-infrared light. Sunscreen is designed to block UV light but will also act as a barrier to some red and NIR light. Many foundations contain SPF — consider using red light therapy before applying makeup, or after washing your face before bed.
Making your sessions too short or too long?
Sessions should range from 10–20 minutes. Longer sessions won't be more effective than 20-minute sessions and may reduce the effectiveness of your treatments. Skipping sessions is more harmful than shorter sessions.
Must I stay hydrated?
Drinking water throughout the day is good advice regardless, but there is new evidence that it may help with the effectiveness of red light therapy. Researchers propose that red light therapy may prefer hydrated cells, as they tend to have more energy stored.
Where not to use red light therapy?
Red light therapy is not recommended if you are pregnant, undergoing certain treatments, or taking medications that increase photosensitivity. It is also not recommended for anyone with photosensitizing medical conditions such as lupus, or anyone taking photo-sensitizing drugs. Avoid if you have open wounds or lesions.
Can you use red light therapy on your stomach?
Red light therapy on the stomach shows promising benefits — reducing belly fat, improving skin tone, and targeting cellulite. However, it is best approached as a complementary tool rather than a standalone solution. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle remains key to long-term success.
