Red light therapy can help you get the most out of your workouts, with one study concluding red light therapy "can increase muscle mass gained after training, and decrease inflammation and oxidative stress in muscle biopsies" to the extent that the authors "raise the question of whether PBM should be permitted in athletic competition by international regulatory authorities."

Studies have shown red light therapy "offers a non-invasive, safe, drug-free, and side-effect-free method for pain relief of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions as well as fibromyalgia" and has "pronounced anti-inflammatory effects."

You might find you sleep better after trying our panels, with one study demonstrating that "red-light illumination [at night] positively affected sleep quality and endurance performance" and boosted melatonin. The study concluded that it "confirmed the effectiveness of body irradiation with red light in improving the quality of sleep."

Red light therapy "provides a safe, non-ablative, non-thermal, atraumatic photobiomodulation treatment of skin tissue with high patient satisfaction rates."

It is "an effective treatment for skin rejuvenation through objectively measured data and histological and ultrastructural bodies of evidence of increased collagen and elastic fibers as well as clinical photographs and double-blinded assessment."

One study found red light therapy "significantly improved hair counts in males with androgenetic alopecia" while another concluded red light therapy "promoted human hair growth."

A literature review found red light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) "improves neuronal function and survival in the brain after stimulating mitochondrial activity in neurones, as well as activating a range of stimulatory and protective pathways; they also show improvements in clinical signs and/or symptoms in a range of disorders, from Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s disease, and from depression to traumatic brain injury."

Animal studies have shown red light therapy can stimulate "elevated ATP", "significant increase in average lifespan" and "significantly improved mobility."

Human studies have shown that red light therapy "of normal subjects significantly reduces blood sugar levels" with "850nm continuous light irradiation [leading] to the greatest increments in intact cell respiration". Intact cells are cells which are "unaffected by disease or mitochondrial injury."

One study concluded that "830nm LED phototherapy significantly and safely reduced the RTP [return to play] in dedicated university athletes over a wide range of injuries with no adverse events."

Another found red light therapy can heal wounds and is "effective in promoting the healing of dermal abrasions."

A literature review concluded that red light therapy "has a protective effect on the cornea and retina at the cellular level" and "can produce hyperopia, resulting in myopia prevention and control."

One study found red light therapy is "an effective method for treatment of various tissues such as eyes and brains without side effects" while another concluded "repeated low-level red-light therapy is a promising alternative treatment for myopia control in children" with "no documented functional or structural damage."
