Red light therapy is a type of therapy using red and infrared wavelengths of light to stimulate your cells. People are using it to speed up wound healing, reduce skin blemishes, improve muscle recovery, and achieve many other benefits.


Red light therapy is also sometimes called photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy

Specifically, red and infrared light is absorbed by a chemical in the mitochondria called cytochrome C oxidase. This molecule is part of the chemical reaction that produces another important molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is how cells store, transfer, and use energy.


Increased energy production allows cells to replicate faster, allowing for more rapid healing or recovery. It also helps to improve their function, allowing them to potentially live longer and do more.
