Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red light to stimulate cellular activity. It’s like giving our cells a gentle boost to help them work better.

The red light penetrates our skin and goes into our cells. This helps cells work better through a process called photobiomodulation. When our skin absorbs the red light, it goes into our cells and interacts with the mitochondria, often called the cell’s powerhouse. This interaction stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is like a fuel that cells use for various functions.

With more ATP, cells have extra energy to carry out their tasks more efficiently. This boost in energy can enhance cellular functions, such as repairing damage, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall cell health. Additionally, RLT may influence other cellular processes, like the production of proteins and antioxidants, contributing to improved cell function and well-being. It’s like giving our cells a little extra help to perform at their best.
