Red light therapy helps promote collagen and elastin production in the skin, which means less fine lines and wrinkles. Deep penetrating red light can also restore normal mitochondrial activity, which is the first step toward healing chronic diseases.

Yes, a number of studies have shown that red light therapy can help people lose weight. In some cases, excess weight may be caused by hormonal imbalances, which red light therapy can help with, by balancing those hormones. Red light also helps increase muscular mass, which will raise the resting metabolic rate and result in more calories burned while resting.

Yes, red light therapy has been shown to relieve pain and increase the range of motion in joints affected by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: pain reduction of up to 50% after only a few red light therapy treatments. Red light therapy’s anti-inflammatory properties, as well as stimulation of cellular energy and increased collagen formation, result in promoting healing, reducing pain, and speeding up recovery from degenerative joint disease.

Red light has been shown to help with sun damage, sun spots, smoothing overall skin tone, improving skin complexion, reducing signs of aging, minimizing the appearance fine lines and wrinkles, and treating chronic skin problems including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. The primary mechanisms for improved skin health are increased cellular energy and intradermal collagen density increase. Furthermore, increased elastin formation, increased microcirculation of both blood and lymph, and reduced inflammation can help restore skin health. All of these are supported by red light therapy.

As there has been no clinical research with red light therapy treatments on pregnant or nursing subjects, do not use the device if pregnant or lactating before consulting with your healthcare provider.

Clinical studies have shown light therapy to be safe. But if you’re considering using it with children, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional first if you have any concerns. Additionally, we would recommend a passive approach to test if the child feels good (shining the light from the back, not exposing the face, and with red light only). Kindly note that all treatments with children should be done under adult supervision.

Red light therapy cures acne by (1) killing bacteria that gets trapped inside the pores, along with a build-up of oil from sebum production and dead skin cells, and by (2) supporting the body’s natural immune and healing mechanisms, and reducing inflammation. A variety of factors can aggravate acne, including hormones, diet, and stress – but the main culprit is bacteria. Once you rid the skin of the acne-causing bacteria, you can greatly reduce the appearance of acne.

Yes, red light therapy goes beyond minimizing the appearance of scars and penetrates the body at the cellular level using specific wavelengths of light. It’s a great remedy for aging skin, due to its collagen-boosting abilities, as well as a sound treatment for healing wounds and scars. This is done by reducing inflammation and supporting tissue repair and regeneration, stimulating collagen, and activating stem cells which are the body’s healing superstars.
