The Science Behind Red Light Therapy

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the application of specific wavelengths of light to biological tissue to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular function.

How It Works

Red (630–660 nm) and near-infrared (800–850 nm) light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores, triggering increased ATP synthesis, upregulation of collagen and elastin, reduced oxidative stress, and enhanced circulation.

Key Wavelengths

  • 630 nm — Surface cellular renewal
  • 660 nm — Collagen synthesis and circulation
  • 830 nm — Deep tissue penetration for recovery
