The Rundown on Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM), uses low-level red wavelengths capable of penetrating the skin. This process increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for cellular repair and regeneration. This is a versatile wellness tool that can help with everything from taming inflammation and promoting glowing skin to getting better sleep. Here's how it can help enhance your health and well-being below.

Skin Repair

With consistent use, red light therapy can make a dramatic impact on your skin's appearance. It promotes collagen production, which in turn can diminish the visibility of wrinkles, scars, and fine lines.   

Pain Relief and Faster Muscle Recovery

The impact of low-level red wavelengths is conducive to promoting anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, red light therapy is a fantastic option for anyone suffering from joint or muscle soreness.   

Sweet Dreams and Better Moods

Red light therapy can help lead to better sleep and less stress. This is achieved by its ability to regulate your circadian rhythm while supporting the brain cell function responsible for mood stabilization.
