Red light therapy is nontoxic, noninvasive, and considered safe for all skin types. It does not require the use of harsh topical substances or heat which can irritate or burn the skin. It uses low-power red light to activate your mitochondria, (otherwise known as your cell’s energy generators) and stimulate the production of ATP – which is your body’s main form of energy.
Aging, illness, or lifestyle factors can make the mitochondria produce less ATP. Regular use of red light therapy triggers a reaction that helps reverse this decline in ATP and is why it is so beneficial.
