Red Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body at the cellular level. When absorbed by your skin, this light enhances mitochondrial activity, boosting energy production, improving circulation, and triggering your body’s natural repair processes. The result? Stronger, more energized cells—and a stronger, more resilient you.
Our specialized device is also equipped with an optional vibrational plate, which has been shown to assist with a range of health benefits by stimulating muscle contractions. These contractions can improve circulation, enhance muscle strength, boost metabolism, increase bone density, and support lymphatic drainage for overall wellness.
Red light therapy works by penetrating the skin and stimulating the mitochondria within cells, which enhances cellular energy production. This process promotes various benefits such as improved circulation, reduced inflammation, collagen production, and the release of endorphins.
Red light therapy has been associated with several benefits, including enhanced skin health, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, improved wound healing, decreased joint pain and inflammation, increased muscle recovery and performance, and mood elevation.
