Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy)
Red light therapy is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to help your body heal, reduce pain, and feel better.
How It Works:
Your body is kind of like a plant—it uses light for energy
When red or near-infrared light shines on your skin, the cells absorb it, especially the part of the cell called the mitochondria (that’s like the “battery pack” of the cell)
This helps the cells make more energy (called ATP)
More energy = better healing, less inflammation, and less pain
Think of It Like This:
It’s kind of like giving your cells a power-up—like charging your phone battery, but for your body.
What It Can Help With:
Muscle recovery (great for athletes)
Joint pain (like knees, shoulders, or back)
Inflammation (which causes swelling or soreness)
Skin health (helps with acne, scars, or wrinkles)
Wound healing (faster healing after injuries)
Is It Safe?
Yes! It’s non-invasive, painless, and doesn’t burn your skin. It’s not the same as UV light (the kind that can cause sunburn). Red light is safe and gentle.
