Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Collapsible content
Skin & anti-aging
Red light therapy, long popular in high-end spas for its skin benefits, has been scientifically shown to improve skin tone and stimulate rejuvenation. This therapy addresses the root causes of many skin problems by boosting collagen production, reducing inflammation and improving blood circulation. This makes it effective against aging, wrinkles, acne, scars, sun spots, and chronic skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis.
Sleep optimization
Do you ever wonder why watching a sunset feels so satisfying? This is because the sun mainly emits red and near-infrared light during sunset. These light wavelengths signal your body that it is time to relax and prepare for sleep.
Scientific research has shown that red light has positive effects on sleep and relaxation in the evening, and compensates for the negative effects of blue light exposure during the day. Studies further confirm that red light therapy can improve sleep quality and duration, and stimulate the body to produce more melatonin, known as the 'sleep hormone'.
More energy
Red light therapy has been scientifically shown to stimulate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cells. This therapy addresses the root cause of energy deficiency by improving mitochondrial function, leading to increased energy production at the cellular level. This makes it effective in promoting physical performance, and reducing fatigue.
Relieves pain & inflammation
Although inflammation is a natural and sometimes beneficial process, chronic or uncontrolled inflammation can lead to persistent pain and other health problems.
Red light therapy has been proven to be an effective, natural method for treating pain and inflammation, without the side effects of medication. It relieves pain and chronic inflammation by promoting blood circulation and strengthening the body's antioxidant defenses.
Red light therapy sessions provide a way to effectively manage inflammation and promote fast and efficient recovery with treatments as short as 10 minutes per day.
Muscle Recovery & Performance
Red light therapy offers the opportunity to train more intensively, faster and with less discomfort by boosting your cellular energy production. This ensures that you can perform optimally.
Because muscle tissue, including the heart, is rich in mitochondria to support movement, it responds particularly well to red and infrared light.
Using red light before training prepares your body for increased strength and endurance. Post-workout use can speed recovery, improve muscle adaptation and reduce soreness after intense exercise.
Mental acuity
Using red light therapy in the morning sharpens the mind and improves head clarity. Recent studies show that this can strengthen cognitive functions, such as memory and executive skills, making complex tasks easier. Additionally, studies suggest that red and near-infrared light therapy improves cognitive function in healthy adults and could potentially provide a treatment against Alzheimer's.
Hormone balance
Research shows that light therapy offers perspectives for tackling hormonal imbalances. These treatments effectively stimulate the production of essential hormones, including thyroid, mood-regulating hormones and sex hormones, in both men and women.
Although data is still limited, research suggests an increase in testosterone levels, which is thought to result from the activation of light-sensitive proteins in the testicles.
Hair loss
Red light therapy has also proven effective in treating hair loss. Research shows that red light can stimulate the activity of hair follicles , resulting in increased hair growth and improved hair density.
This therapy works by promoting cell growth and repair in the hair follicles, leading to an increase in blood circulation and the supply of essential nutrients to the scalp. As a result, it can help reduce thinning hair and promote healthier hair growth.
Stress, anxiety, depression
Mental health issues are a significant challenge in today's society, with many choosing not to take medication - and rightly so. That is why red light therapy is increasingly being chosen as an alternative. Recent research has shown that exposure to red light can enhance cognitive functions, such as memory.
RLT also offers benefits such as reducing fatigue (partly through thyroid support), promoting a balanced state of mind and providing help with depression and anxiety. A recent study found that 74% of participants noticed an improvement in their symptoms of depression or anxiety within 30 days of treatment with red light therapy.
Weight loss
Mitochondria also play a central role in weight loss, it has been proven that using red light after exercise stimulates metabolism and even reduces cellulite.
RLT is quickly becoming popular in the weight loss world. In a recent clinical study, using red light was twice as effective at burning fat when combined with exercise. 10 minutes of red light therapy after exercise is the best way to achieve this.

What is Red Light Therapy?
Scientific research shows that red and near-infrared light from the sun significantly improves the health of your cells.
Red light therapy uses these essential wavelengths to, among other things, boost skin health, provide pain relief and increase energy levels, while bypassing the risks of UV radiation, to supplement the light deficiency that many suffer from.
Why do we need light?
Light is essential to our well-being, just like food, water and oxygen. It influences our circadian rhythm, mood, sleep and more, and is crucial for biological processes such as metabolism and muscle movement.
Our exposure to natural light has been drastically reduced. Red light therapy offers a solution to compensate for this deficiency, allowing us to function better and improve our general well-being.
The role of NASA
Red and infrared light improve your health by energizing your cells, especially the energy-producing mitochondria. This process, known as red light therapy, increases cell energy, improves body functions and provides several health benefits.
This phenomenon was discovered by NASA in 1993, and thousands of scientific studies have now been conducted that support the benefits of red light therapy.
