Science & Effects of Red Light Therapy
We’ve read hundreds of studies, so you don’t have to. Clinical tests, theories, and evidence explaining why and how red and near-infrared light therapy works. Today, there are already thousands of studies. Yet, at the turn of the millennium, you’d find only a handful of records.
The breakthrough came thanks to NASA’s research, which sparked scientific interest in this therapy. And with the growing number of studies, its applications are expanding.
The body is a complex system where everything is interconnected. Therapy is effective because it doesn't target just one issue. Quite the opposite.
In sports, both red and near-infrared light are used. Therapy works comprehensively—before a performance, it helps oxygenate muscles, and afterward, it aids recovery. This not only reduces recovery time but also enhances performance. Useful for any sport and everyday life.

The endocrine system (commonly known as the glands with internal secretion) controls absolutely everything in your body. The most effective approach is to use both spectrums—red and near-infrared. Together, they contribute to regulating the entire system, but they can also be used locally to stimulate hormone production. For example, on the thyroid or reproductive glands.

The older you are, the less collagen and elastin your body produces. With age, their levels naturally decrease. Wrinkles appear, the quality of hair and nails deteriorates, and wounds take longer to heal. Red light stimulates collagen production. It also improves microcirculation, providing more oxygen and nutrients to your hair, nails, and skin.

Our body naturally follows a 24-hour biorhythm (circadian rhythm). You can combat its disruption not only by minimizing blue light exposure before sleep but also through comprehensive red light therapy. This helps with daytime energy and restful sleep.

Like every other part of the body, the musculoskeletal system is a complex system. Everything is interconnected. With near-infrared therapy, you can address issues holistically—from tendons, joints, and ligaments to bones. This promotes faster recovery and effective prevention.

Health isn't just about a strong body; it's also about the brain and mental well-being. Both red and near-infrared light therapy positively impact these areas. They enhance resilience to stress, improve cognitive functions, and reduce depression. All of this is influenced by the presence (or lack) of red spectrum sunlight.

Swelling and pain—these are often linked to active inflammation. Both red and near-infrared light therapy can minimize symptoms and inflammation itself. They aid healing and reduce pain, whether on the skin or deeper within the body.

Blue light is everywhere these days. Screens, the primary source, surround us constantly. Red light therapy (RED) acts as a counterbalance. It reduces the negative effects of blue light exposure and increases cellular energy in the eyes.

All the effects of red and near-infrared light therapy converge here. More cellular energy, a functional body, and a sharp mind—all contribute to vitality even in old age. This effect won’t be apparent immediately, but in a few (or many) years, you’ll thank yourself for those 20 minutes a day. And you’ll enjoy how you feel and look.

The immune system is a perfectly interconnected but highly complex system. Its effectiveness depends on countless internal processes and tissues—from the skin to the gut. Red and near-infrared light therapies work synergistically, complementing and supporting one another. This helps the body become more resilient to pathogens.

Blood is the primary source of oxygen and nutrients for our cells. Thanks to it, cells grow, metabolize, and renew themselves—up to hundreds of billions daily. Both red and near-infrared light have a significant impact on cellular function, which in turn affects your overall well-being.
