What is red light therapy? (4 scientific benefits)
We go through red light therapy and its main scientific benefits & effects.
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive form of treatment in which specific wavelengths of red (630-660 nm) and near-infrared light (810-850 nm) are applied to the body This method has become increasingly popular in health, recovery and performance thanks to its versatile health effects. Research shows that light can stimulate mitochondria in cells, leading to increased energy production and better cell function.
1. Increases energy production in cells
One of the most well-documented effects of red light therapy is its ability to increase energy production in cells by stimulating the mitochondria. Mitochondria act as the cell's powerhouse, producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is vital for the body's energy supply. Studies show that red and near-infrared light can optimize this process and help cells work more efficiently. This results in better energy, increased performance and faster recovery. [Reference: Hamblin, M.R. (2016). Mechanisms and applications of the anti-inflammatory effects of photobiomodulation. AIMS Biophysics.]
2. Promotes recovery and relieves pain
Red light therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation and pain in muscles and joints. The treatment increases blood circulation, which helps transport oxygen and nutrients to damaged areas. Research suggests that this can shorten recovery time after exercise and injuries. Red light therapy is often recommended for people suffering from chronic pain or sports injuries. [Reference: Ferraresi, C., et al. (2018). Photobiomodulation in human muscle tissue: an overview of mechanisms and effects. Journal of Laser Applications.]
3. Improves skin health and increases collagen production
For those who want to improve the appearance and texture of the skin, reddening therapy is an excellent option. The red light stimulates the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin elasticity and firmness. Studies show that red light therapy can reduce fine lines, wrinkles and scars as well as contribute to a more even skin tone. In addition, it can help relieve symptoms in skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis. [Reference: Avci, P., et al. (2013). Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) in the skin: stimulating, healing, restoring. Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery.]
4th. Strengthens the immune system
By stimulating cells' energy production and blood circulation, red light therapy can also have a positive effect on the body's immune system. Research shows that light can help the body fight inflammation and infections more effectively by optimizing the function of cells and increasing their resilience. [Reference: Huang, Y.Y., et al. (2019). The role of photobiomodulation in modulating the immune system. Frontiers in Immunology.]
