Red Light Therapy (RLT) Red and Infrared light
Red Light therapy delivers safe, concentrated wavelengths of natural light to skin cells, without UV radiation or excess heat. Red and near-infrared light stimulates the mitochondria of cells (similar to natural sunlight) to reduce oxidative stress and increase blood flow, so that the body can generate more natural energy.
Red light is also a natural anti-inflammatory agent that helps cells to regenerate and repair also improving blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar levels, speed up muscle recovery and reduce pain.
Red and Infrared light therapy (RLT) uses specific wavelengths to stimulate a natural response in the body to enhance overall cell function. These wavelengths of light are also found in light from the sun. The light energy penetrates through layers of skin to reach muscles and nerves. Our cells absorb the light then create energy and blood flow to the areas to further support cell regrowth and regeneration.
Red light therapy is a treatment that has been proven safe and effective in treating many different symptoms.
Red Light Therapy For Joint Pain
The combination of increased cell activity and circulation works to reduce inflammation caused by arthritis. RLT can be considered as an alternative noninvasive treatment with its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
RLT reduces inflammation and helps blood flow, it increases collagen production. Collagen is one of the building blocks found in muscles and cartilage. Cartilage is the connective tissue in joints and allows them to bend and connect with bones. It also provides support to carry the weight of the body without damage to the bones. So by increasing collagen it can help heal damage to cartilage in inflamed joints.
Managing knee osteoarthritis with stretching and red light therapy may lead to pain reduction and an improvement in function.

Red Light Therapy For Testosterone In Men
From a cellular level, testosterone is a key hormone in male biology. It is responsible for a mans ability to reproduce and characterises muscle and bone mass, facial hair and sexual function. Testosterone production increases during puberty, however typically declines from the age of 30 years old.
Red light therapy shows great promise as a natural and safe form of treatment to boost testosterone levels. Increasing these levels is so important for optimal health, as a range of symptoms can occur if testosterone production drastically drops below normal. These include:
-
Low Sex Drive
-
Hair Loss
-
Erection Disfunction
-
Fatigue
-
Insomnia
-
Decreased Muscle Mass
-
Increased Body Fat
-
Decrease Bone Density
-
Infertility
-
Mood Changes
Contributing factors to a decline in testosterone include a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle and stress.
Red Light Therapy For Muscle Recovery
Red light therapy has a positive influence on physical performance, and prevents the burn out phase resulting from intense training. This non-invasive therapy can soothe aching muscles, aid recovery from sports injuries, and improve general wellness.
Red light therapy involves the delivery of a safe and concentrated dose of natural light, red and infrared wavelength, to your cells. Cells are stimulated and energy is produced. When your cells are working optimally, blood flow increases and stimulates cell regeneration. Red light therapy has been shown reduces muscle soreness by decreasing inflammation. It also very effective in promoting muscle growth, making it not only essential for recovery, but also beneficial for athletic performance.
Red and Infrared light encourage the production of antioxidants which reduces oxidative stress - therefore decreases fatigue. Antioxidants also promote the production of heat proteins – substances that prevent oxidative stress and early cell death.
Red light therapy demonstrates an increase in blood circulation which improves oxygen and nutrient supply to the site of injury. Thus, the rate of healing is accelerated and toxic substances are eliminated in the process.
-
Less Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness
-
Less soreness & damage after intense workouts
-
Postmenopausal women feel less soreness from exercise
-
Less running damage
-
Less Knee Muscle Fatigue
-
Fighting Inflammation
-

-
Quicker recovery for postmenopausal women
-
Red light therapy is more effective than cryotherapy in speeding up muscle recovery rate
Bottom Line: Red and Infrared Light Therapy Speeds Muscle Recovery and Prevents Muscle Soreness
Red Light Therapy for Skin Health
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a popular therapeutic technique that employs red low-level wavelengths to the skin cells. RLT works to improve skin elasticity, increase collagen, heal cuts and scars and much more by using its red light wavelength of light to strengthen the mitochondria in your skin cells. In other words, RLT is a procedure that increases the function and activity of the mitochondria.
RLT improves skin complexion, decreases inflammation and pain, fades stretch marks and scars, repairs sun damage, reduces wrinkles, quickens the skin’s healing process and so much more.
It has been discovered that circulation within the body increases immensely after a red light therapy. Oxygen and nutrients necessary for healing spreads quickly and easily throughout the body. The body tissues also get to rid themselves of toxic waste.
One of the many benefits of using red light is that it lessens acute and chronic types of inflammation. It does this by increasing blood flow to damaged tissue.
RLT builds up the body’s antioxidant walls. The natural anti-inflammatory effect of red light therapy makes it the perfect treatment for healing and rejuvenating the skin.
RLT improves circulation and has been proven to boost collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein within the body that keeps your skin youthful and assists with joint and general health. As you age, collagen production reduces therefore RLT is crucial in restoring and maintaining a healthy balance and an effective way to reduce wrinkles, improve skin complexion and boost collagen, reduce inflammation and pain.
Renowned for its anti-aging and rejuvenating properties, red light therapy also increases many healing properties. Using RLT is a natural way to bring about healing from wounds, burns, scars and surgery incisions.

Red Light Therapy For Fat Loss
Fat loss is the number one health goal for millions of people, with rising cases of obesity in many countries. However shedding those unwanted kilos can prove quite difficult considering our evolving society where many jobs are sedentary and exercise is not prioritised. There is no easy route to weight loss, however there are benefits of using red light therapy to help with the appearance of fat and cellulite, fat loss, controlling the appetite and overall body tone.
Red and Near Infrared Light Therapy has proven to be a noninvasive, safe, and natural approach to weight management. With RLT, you’re getting concentrated wavelengths of therapeutic natural light directly into your cells with the aim of reducing oxidative stress and stimulating cellular energy production aka Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Red light therapy impacts Adipocytes, which are cells responsible for storing fat. By doing so, red light therapy causes lipids to disperse, and in extension, helps in the extermination of fat-triggering cells.
