NASA originally began experimenting with red light therapy to stimulate plant growth in space and to help heal astronaut wounds. Like many developments, other potential uses began to be investigated.
Sunlight includes a component of red light, which contributes to the enhanced sense of well-being we experience after a few hours outdoors. LED light therapy devices harness the regenerative healing red light wavelengths without the more problematic UVA and UVB light rays that can cause skin cancer and premature aging.

What does Red Light Therapy do?
Reduce Inflammation
Reduce Pain
Improve circulation
Workout recovery
Improve Skin Health
Path to wellness
Patience is key. Red light treatment heals from within. The light-emitting diode works at a cellular level, promoting cell optimal functioning.
Your skin’s light sensitivity:
Red light therapy has been proven to be safe and effective.
Your skin color, tone, and thickness affect how quickly you absorb red light photons, so you may need to adjust treatment time for optimal results.
You should consult a physician beforehand if you take photosensitizing medications (i.e., tetracycline or doxycycline) or have skin cancer.
For Muscle healing:
Before exercise (for injury prevention): 3-5 minutes per day at a distance of 6” to 18”
After exercise (for accelerated recovery): 10-20 minutes per day at 6” to 18”
For muscle injury: 20 minutes per day at 6” to 12” until the injury heals
Arthritis joint pain:
6” from the affected join for 15 minutes up to twice daily
Low back pain:
8” to 12” from your back for 10-20 minute sessions daily

Q: How does red light therapy work?
Red light therapy devices expose the skin to specific wavelengths of light.
These wavelengths, that vary in length based on color, are measured in nanometers (nm).
Different wavelengths penetrate the skin, stimulating natural biological processes during red light therapy.
Red light therapy supercharges your cells. A light-emitting diode stimulates the mitochondria, the energy source of our cells. With more energy, our cells function better.
