What is red light therapy and how does light therapy work?

Red light therapy (RLT) is an emerging treatment that’s showing promise in treating wrinkles, redness, acne, scars and other signs of aging. Many researchers say more clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment. If you’re interested in red light therapy, ask your healthcare provider if this is an option for your skin issue.

Red Light therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers red and near infrared (NIR) light to a person’s skin and cells. A high-quality home medical-grade red light therapy device like a UTK uses light emitting diodes (LED) to deliver red and near infrared light on your body during a treatment session. When using this type of treatment, an individual can see the red light and feel the warmth from the near-infrared (NIR) light.

Red light therapy is just like the wavelengths of light your body needs from sunlight, but without the heat or UV rays that may cause sun damage. Red light therapy is a healthier alternative to all the bright blue light we’re surrounded by every day, which can make it harder to sleep and may lead to other health problems . Today, many people work indoors and look at screens for extended periods of time. Red light therapy can help offset the negative effects of blue light and promote overall wellness and cellular balance.

Red light therapy is an easy and effective treatment. UTK suggests 10-minute sessions per treatment area. The session does not require anything other than exposing your skin and sitting or standing in front of the UTK and letting your body absorb the light. This is a great time to meditate, read, or relax all while receiving high-quality red light therapy.
