Red light therapy, an increasingly popular alternative medical treatment, is known for skin rejuvenation and treating specific conditions like acne and scars – but its applications and benefits extend far beyond this. From bone recovery to improving cognitive function, red light therapy (RLT) promises a wide range of health benefits. 


RLT works by shining light in the red wavelengths at skin cells. The red light interacts with small structures in the cells known as mitochondria, causing them to release molecules like nitric oxide and ATP, which have key health benefits, while reducing harmful molecules known as ‘free radicals.’ It also spurs the production of collagen which is important for skin health and used in the body’s connective tissues. 


One of the added benefits of RLT it is that is safe and does not have any reported side effects, it is “not toxic, not invasive and not as harsh as some topical skin treatments.” It also should NOT be confused with the ultraviolet light in tanning booths, which is known to be cancer-causing. 


Let’s take a close look at each of the benefits of RLT.
