Does Red Light Therapy Work?

The outlook is promising: our analysis of current research indicates 82% positive outcomes, 10% neutral outcomes and just 8% negative outcomes. Studies also tell us about the most effective wavelengths for red light therapy: important because different wavelengths are effective for different use cases, known as “dosing”. Find out more about choosing the right one in this this blog post.

1	Adipose tissue	Inflammation	2016	Photobiomodulation reduces abdominal adipose tissue inflammatory infiltrate of diet-induced obese and hyperglycemic mice.	843	60	300	"Non-irradiated control animals display inflammatory areas almost five times greater than the treated group (p < 0.001). This result on inflammatory infiltrate may have caused impacts on the significant lower blood glucose level from irradiated animals (p	https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27635634
