What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive wellness treatment that uses low-level red or near-infrared wavelengths of light to enhance cellular function. This light penetrates the skin and stimulates mitochondria, the energy-producing components of your cells. This means an increase in cellular metabolism and an increase in ATP production. Red and NIR are on the opposite side of the light spectrum from UV. While UV light can damage your skin, red light promotes healing and regeneration. Red Light Therapy is used for a wide range of health benefits, including muscle recovery, anti-aging, skin health, and pain relief.

 

History and Development of Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy was first explored by NASA in the 1990s for plant growth experiments in space. Later, it was discovered to accelerate wound healing and cell regeneration in astronauts. Since then, RLT has been developed into a scientifically supported treatment used in wellness centers worldwide. Today, it\’s available at RVIVL for both recovery and beauty treatments. There is a wide array of light therapy devices on the market and an equally wide disparity in their effectiveness.

Full-Body Commercial Grade vs. Personal Masks & Devices

 

Full-body red light panels not only provide comprehensive coverage, but they also deliver a range of wavelengths—primarily in the 630-850nm range—which are scientifically proven to offer distinct benefits. The shorter wavelengths (around 630-660nm) penetrate the skin\’s surface to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin tone, while the longer wavelengths (810-850nm) reach deeper into muscles, tendons, and joints, promoting faster recovery and reducing inflammation.
