What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to promote cellular health and rejuvenation. This therapy works by stimulating cellular energy production, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair.
By increasing cellular energy, red light therapy can enhance collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkles. It can also help alleviate pain and muscle soreness by reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. Additionally, this therapy has been shown to be effective in treating various skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
While red light therapy is generally safe with minimal side effects, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications. Red light therapy devices are available for home use, but professional treatments may offer higher intensity and more targeted application.
