What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular function. Unlike ultraviolet light, red light does not cause damage or burns. Instead, it encourages cells to produce more energy, which can accelerate healing and regeneration.

This therapy is non-invasive and painless. Sessions typically last between 10 and 20 minutes, during which the targeted area is exposed to red light. The technology used at Island Glow is FDA-approved, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

How Red Light Therapy Works

Cells contain mitochondria, often called the "powerhouses" of the cell, which generate energy. Red light therapy enhances mitochondrial function by increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells. This boost in energy helps cells repair themselves faster and function more efficiently.

The therapy also promotes better blood flow and reduces oxidative stress, which can contribute to inflammation and tissue damage. These combined effects support the body's natural healing processes.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy offers a range of benefits supported by scientific research and clinical experience. Here are some of the most notable:
