The Basics
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to the body. Inside your cells, tiny structures called mitochondria absorb that light and use it to produce more cellular energy, which is why it is often described as a cellular "charge" for recovery and repair.
Because light therapy is entirely non-invasive, it layers easily onto weight management, circulation and performance programs.
