Does Red Light Therapy Work?!

In a word, YES! But then that was probably a bit obvious that we were going to say that – so let’s look at the facts.

Amazingly there are now over 3,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies showing the incredible health and anti-ageing benefits of red light therapy and near-infrared light therapy. These studies prove the multiple ways that red light therapy can help you, including:

• Anti-ageing, specifically anti-wrinkle treatment due to the increase in production of collagen
• Increased energy – the red wavelengths of light increase the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphastye), the complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells.
• Combat hair loss
• Help clear skin complaints such as acne and rosacea

Here’s a full and detailed list of 1442 studies on Low level laser therapy (LLLT) / photobiomodulation (PBM) / red/NIR phototherapy studies (source: Vladimir Heiskanen)

We will go into more detail on this in the research section of the site, explaining more about the benefits of Red Light Therapy.

The efficacy of red light therapy has also been featured heavily in the news and by some massive media outlets. However, we are still seeing that red light therapy is still very much ‘under the radar’.
