The Science of Red Light Therapy: How It Revives Your Skin and Body
Written by Hannah Timmons
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is one of the most studied non-invasive treatments in modern wellness. It uses specific wavelengths of red (around 630–660 nm) and near-infrared (around 850 nm) light to stimulate your body at a cellular level — encouraging repair, regeneration, and rejuvenation.
Unlike UV light, red and infrared wavelengths don’t damage the skin. Instead, they penetrate deep into cells, where they support mitochondrial energy production — the body’s natural engine for repair and vitality.
Key Benefits of Red Light Therapy
💫 Boosts Collagen & Elasticity
Clinical studies show red light can increase collagen density, helping to firm and smooth the skin while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
⚡ Improves Circulation & Recovery
Near-infrared light enhances blood flow, helping oxygen and nutrients reach muscles and tissues more efficiently — perfect for post-workout recovery or fatigue relief.
🌿 Reduces Inflammation
Red light therapy naturally lowers inflammation markers, easing muscle stiffness and joint tension while promoting calm and balance.
✨ Evens Skin Tone & Brightens Complexion
Red light improves cellular turnover, leaving skin clearer, brighter, and more radiant with continued use.
