Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy works by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created. The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage. Red Light Therapy activates this process. 

Red Light Therapy is different from laser or intense pulsed light therapies because it doesn’t cause damage to the skin surface. Laser and pulsed light therapies work by causing controlled damage to the outer layer of the skin, which then induces tissue repair. Red Light Therapy bypasses this harsh step by directly stimulating regeneration of the skin. The light emitted by Red Light Therapy penetrates roughly 5 millimeters below the skin’s surface.
