Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that can help promote healing in skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of the body. It involves exposing your skin to low levels of red or near-infrared light.
While infrared light is invisible to the eye, your body can feel it as heat. Red light, on the other hand, is visible and provides a soothing, calming effect.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
When the red light penetrates your skin, it is absorbed by the mitochondria of your cells, which are often referred to as the "power generators" of the body. This absorption helps cells produce more energy, improving their ability to repair and regenerate. By stimulating cellular energy production, RLT accelerates healing in skin and muscle tissue, alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting recovery.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy uses very low levels of heat, so it’s a gentle, pain-free experience with no risk of burns. It is commonly used in conjunction with other treatments for joint pain, back pain, and symptoms of neuropathy, providing an enhanced healing effect for patients.
