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.
