Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation)
Also known as: Low-level laser therapy, LLLT, LED light therapy
Red and near-infrared light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function. The light penetrates tissues and is absorbed by mitochondria, potentially enhancing energy production and cellular repair processes.

How It Works
Light in the 600-1000nm range is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, potentially enhancing ATP production. This may support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
What It Addresses
This treatment is commonly used for the following health goals and conditions:
Typical Protocol
Sessions of 10-20 minutes, 3-5 times per week. Treatment area held close to the light source. Benefits are cumulative over weeks of consistent use.
Evidence & Research
Good evidence for wound healing, some joint conditions, and certain skin applications. Evidence for anti-aging and cognitive benefits is growing but less established. Device quality and protocols vary significantly.
Potential Considerations
Potential Risks
Generally very safe. Eye protection recommended. Avoid if taking photosensitizing medications.
Contraindications
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Photosensitive conditions
- Active cancer (avoid treating tumor areas)
- Pregnancy (abdominal area)
