Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or biostimulation (BIOS), is a treatment that uses low-wavelength red light. Red light therapy is safe and not associated with any side effects, if used as directed, red light therapy can improve skin conditions and relieve pain. While pain relief without medication might sound too good to be true, red light therapy has been proven to help with skin rejuvenation, skin problems, and pain relief.

Red light can be absorbed into the skin to a depth of about eight to ten millimeters. Red light therapy is not harmful; it can effectively target the skin tissue, resulting in positive effects on one’s cells, nervous system, and metabolic processes. The low level of infrared light can regenerate cells and trigger blood flow, which in turn can help to heal and relieve pain.

Red light therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free, chemical-free alternative to harsh topical skin treatments or medications.
