What Even Is Red Light Therapy?

What Is Red Light Therapy and How Can It Support Wellness?

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive wellness approach that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths are absorbed by the body’s cells—particularly the mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of the cells—which may help support natural cellular processes like energy production and repair.

At Red Nova Lights, our at-home devices are designed to make incorporating red light sessions into your routine safe, easy, and convenient.

Potential Benefits of Red Light Therapy*

While red light therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, early research and anecdotal reports suggest it may support various wellness goals:

✅ Skin Appearance and Healthy Glow

Red light may help promote collagen production and support healthy-looking skin. Many people use RLT as part of their skincare routine to enhance smoothness and radiance.

✅ Post-Workout Recovery Support

Some athletes and active individuals report using red light therapy as a way to relax and support recovery after intense training. It may help promote comfort and reduce downtime between workouts.

✅ Joint and Muscle Wellness

Targeted red and near-infrared light may support the body’s natural recovery processes and promote flexibility and comfort in muscles and joints.

How Does It Work?

Red light therapy works by delivering low-level red and near-infrared light to the skin’s surface. This light is absorbed by cells, where it can help stimulate energy production (ATP) in the mitochondria. This boost in energy may support the body's natural processes of repair and renewal.

RLT does not use ultraviolet (UV) light, making it non-damaging to the skin and safe for regular use when used as directed.
