Red light therapy has become a wellness favorite—and for good reason. Backed by a growing body of research, this non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes.Whether you’re aiming to speed up muscle recovery, improve skin tone, reduce inflammation, or boost mood and mental clarity, red light therapy can be a game-changing addition to your routine.
Red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into your skin and muscles, where they’re absorbed by your mitochondria (aka your cells’ power plants). This boosts the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)—the energy your cells use to repair, regenerate, and perform at their best.
It’s like giving your body a charge from the inside out.
Red light therapy works best with regular use. Aim for 3–5 sessions a week to see results in recovery, skin health, and inflammation reduction.
Each session should last 10–20 minutes. More isn’t better—stick to recommended exposure for optimal cellular response without overstimulation.
Skip lotions or sunscreen before your session—clean, dry skin absorbs red and near-infrared light more effectively.
Use red light before workouts to activate muscles and reduce fatigue, or after training to speed up recovery and reduce soreness.
Red light therapy may improve sleep, mood, and mental clarity by supporting your circadian rhythm and reducing stress hormones.
Support your red light sessions with plenty of water and healthy recovery habits—hydration helps your body flush out oxidative stress and repair more efficiently.
Red light therapy isn’t just hype—it’s a well-researched and effective way to support your overall wellness and recovery. When used consistently and correctly, it can enhance how you feel, move, and function—inside and out.
