How does red light therapy work?Updated a day ago

Red and near-infrared light from the LEDs passes through the outer layers of your skin and is absorbed by your cells, mainly by the mitochondria, the parts of the cell that make energy. Researchers believe this light helps cells produce energy more efficiently. This process is called photobiomodulation.

Red light is absorbed closer to the surface, and near-infrared light reaches deeper into tissue.
