How It Works — At the Cellular Level
Red light therapy relies on a process called photobiomodulation:
Mitochondrial stimulation: Cells absorb light in the red and near-infrared spectrum, which enhances mitochondrial energy production (ATP). This boosts cellular function and repair.
Increased circulation: Light exposure can improve blood flow to tissues, bringing oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed and supporting healing.
Inflammation modulation: The therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation by affecting cellular signaling pathways.
This combination of effects makes red light therapy a biological stimulus that helps the body recover and regenerate in a non-thermal, non-invasive manner.
