Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red and near-infrared light to support healing, reduce inflammation, and boost cellular function. It’s often used for recovery, skin health, pain relief, and general wellness.

There are several things people use red light therapy for, including:

• Muscle recovery and athletic performance
• Joint and chronic pain relief
• Skin rejuvenation
• Wound healing
• Improved sleep and mood
• Immune support

Red light therapy uses safe, therapeutic wavelengths of light to energise cells, promote recovery, reduce pain, and improve overall wellness. For maximum benefit, red light therapy beds can be used in just 20 to 30-minute sessions.

Red light therapy works by delivering red and near-infrared light into your cells to boost energy production, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s way of naturally healing itself.

Red light therapy penetrates the skin so that red and near-infrared light is absorbed by your cells. This stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell’s energy source. In turn, this helps repair cells so they can function more efficiently. At the same time, red light therapy also reduces inflammation and oxidative stress to calm your body’s inflammatory response.

Red light therapy offers benefits like faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved skin health, pain relief, and increased energy at the cellular level. It’s often used for wellness, athletic recovery and performance, and cosmetic treatments.

Here are some of the key benefits of red light therapy:

• Enhanced cellular energy: Stimulates ATP production, fuelling your cell repair and function
• Muscle recovery and performance: Reduces muscle fatigue, accelerates post-exercise recovery, and improves your endurance
• Reduces inflammation and pain: Helps relieve joint pain, stiffness, and chronic inflammation by increasing blood flow and reducing oxidative stress
• Skin health and appearance: Boosts collagen production for improved skin tone, reduced wrinkles, and faster wound healing
• Boosts mood and sleep: Supports the regulation of melatonin and your circadian rhythm, improving sleep quality
• Immune support: Promotes faster recovery from illnesses and injury by stimulating the immune cells and improving circulation to deliver them to where they’re needed quicker.

Yes, red light therapy is generally considered safe when it’s used properly. It’s non-invasive, painless, and doesn’t use UV radiation or high temperatures that could cause damage.

Red light therapy has quickly shot to one of the top spots of most popular health therapies, so there have been thousands of studies deeming it safe and effective for a wide range of uses, from skin health to muscle recovery.

To keep yourself safe during red light therapy treatments, follow the safety protocols your chosen wellness centre has in place. These may include treatment times and heat settings, eye protection, and talking to your doctor beforehand.

Yes, red light therapy has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. It supports joint function by improving circulation, reducing oxidative stress, and stimulating cellular repair in affected tissues.

Red light therapy can help osteoarthritis by reducing joint pain and stiffness, decreasing inflammation, improving mobility, and supporting cartilage repair.

Yes, red light therapy may be able to help with bruising because it can accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. It does this by enhancing blood flow, promoting tissue repair, and minimising swelling in the affected area.

There are several ways red light therapy can help with bruises, including:

• Stimulating circulation
• Reducing inflammation
• Promoting cellular repair
• Decreasing discolouration

For the best results, red light therapy should be utilised within 24 – 48 hours. Even a 10 – 20 minute session can make the difference with bruising.

Yes, red light therapy can help reduce the appearance of dark spots over time. The therapy supports skin regeneration and helps fade hyperpigmentation by promoting healthier, more even-toned skin.

Red light therapy can lighten dark spots and leave a more even skin tone by boosting cell turnover, increasing collagen production, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation.

This works best for:

• Sun spots and age spots
• Post-acne marks
• Mild melasma
• General uneven pigmentation

It’s important to remember that results can take time, so you might not see results straight away. The best outcomes often also occur when combined with skincare, such as vitamin C and SPF.

Red light therapy results can begin to appear within a few sessions, but most benefits develop over two to eight weeks of consistent use. The time it takes to see results depends on what condition is being treated and how regularly you expose yourself to it.

For example:

• Skin health (tone, texture, fine lines etc.): Noticeable improvements typically within 3 to 6 weeks, with best results after 8+ weeks of regular sessions.
• Pain relief and inflammation: Some people feel pain relief immediately or after 1 to 3 sessions, especially for joint or muscle pain.
• Muscle recovery: Often effective within 24 to 48 hours post-exercise when used as part of recovery.
• Wound healing, bruising, and acne: Visible changes usually occur in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on severity.

Red light therapy starts working quickly at the cellular level, but visible results – especially for skin or chronic issues – take a few weeks. Consistency is key for long-term benefits!

For best results, red light therapy should be completed between 3 and 5 times per week initially, then 2 and 3 times a week for maintaining results. The optimal frequency depends on your goals, the heat and device settings you’re using, and how you respond to the light personally.

Here are the recommended frequencies depending on your goals:

• General wellness and energy: 3 to 4 sessions a week
• Muscle recovery or inflammation relief: 3 to 5 sessions per week, especially after workouts or injury
• Skin health and anti-aging: 3 to 5 sessions a week for the first 4 to 8 weeks, then 2 to 3 sessions a week for maintenance
• Sleep and mood support: 3+ sessions a week, ideally in the morning or early evening
• Targeted issues (eg. joint pain, acne, dark spots): Daily use may be beneficial early on, reducing frequency as symptoms begin improving

Yes, red light therapy, especially near-infrared light, may help reduce symptoms of depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It works by supporting brain function, improving sleep, and regulating mood-related hormones.

Here’s how red light therapy may be able to help with depression symptoms:

• Improving mitochondrial function in brain cells: Near-infrared light penetrates the skull and energises brain cells, potentially improving your mood and cognitive performance.
• Supporting circadian rhythm and sleep: Regular exposure to red light (especially in the morning) may help regulate melatonin and serotonin, improving sleep quality and emotional balance.
• Reducing brain inflammation: Newer research suggests red light can reduce neuroinflammation, which is often linked to mood disorders.
• Boosts mood naturally: Some clients report improved mood, focus, and reduced anxiety or fatigue after regular use – similar to the effects of light therapy used for SAD.

Red light therapy has shown promising results as a safe, non-invasive option to support mood and mental wellbeing – especially when combined with other treatments like therapy, exercise, and good sleep habits. However, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional before starting a new therapy when dealing with depression.

While red light therapy is generally considered safe, there are a few temporary side effects that may occur during your first few treatments. Side effects are also more likely if you overuse the therapy or use it incorrectly.

Possible risks of red light therapy include:

• Eye strain or discomfort: The risk of this is higher if you look directly at the light, which is why protective eyewear is given to clients. Never remove the eyewear while exposed to red light.
• Temporary redness or tightness: Some people feel sunburnt for a few hours or a day after their treatment. This usually goes away on its own.
• Overuse effects: Using red light therapy too frequently or for too long can reduce the appearance of benefits and cause fatigue or overstimulation.
• Photosensitivity reactions: While these are rare, some people taking certain medications (such as antibiotics or acne meds) may be more sensitive to light and therefore experience more impactful side effects.

While the benefits of red light therapy are paramount, certain people shouldn’t use it, or use it with caution. This includes pregnant people, people with light-sensitive conditions (lupus or epilepsy), anyone on photosensitising medications, and people with a history of skin cancer.

Red light therapy is generally considered low-risk, but many healthcare professionals say to avoid it during pregnancy out of caution. There isn’t enough clinical research yet to confirm its safety specifically for pregnant individuals, so it’s best to steer clear until after the baby has been born.

No known harm has been documented, especially with localised or low-intensity use. That said, clinical trials on pregnant populations are limited, so most experts and clinics recommend caution – especially with exposing the stomach and lower back to the red light.

If you’re considering using red light therapy while pregnant, it’s essential that you consult your healthcare provider beforehand to get their opinion.
