Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), operates on the principle of using specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function. The primary wavelengths used in red light therapy typically range from 630 to 660 nanometers. Onyx Light Therapy is proud to boast six of the most optimal infrared wavelengths to accelerate healing and optimize cellular response. When these wavelengths penetrate the skin, they are absorbed by the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, leading to a cascade of beneficial cellular responses.

Cellular Energy and Function:

Red light therapy enhances cellular energy production by increasing the activity of mitochondria. This boost in cellular metabolism supports overall cellular function, aiding in the repair and regeneration of tissues.

Skin Health:

Red Light Therapy promotes collagen production, a crucial protein for maintaining skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles. It also accelerates wound healing, decreases inflammation, and improves circulation, contributing to a more vibrant and youthful complexion.

Hair Growth:

Red Light therapy has shown promise in stimulating hair follicles, promoting hair growth, and preventing hair loss. It may improve blood flow to the scalp and encourage the proliferation of hair follicle cells.

Collagen Production:

Collagen is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of various tissues, including skin and joints. Red light therapy enhances collagen synthesis, aiding in the improvement of skin texture and joint health.

Joint and Muscle Health:

The therapy has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing pain and swelling in joints. It also supports muscle recovery by enhancing circulation, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting the repair of muscle tissue.

Performance and Recovery:

Athletes use Red Light Therapy to enhance performance and speed up recovery. By improving cellular energy production and reducing inflammation, it may help minimize muscle fatigue, accelerate recovery from exercise-induced stress, and improve overall athletic performance.

Pain Management:

Red light therapy has analgesic effects, helping to alleviate both acute and chronic pain. It modulates inflammatory responses and stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.

Mood Enhancement:

Red Light's impact on mitochondrial function may influence neurotransmitter levels, potentially contributing to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression. Red Light exposure is also linked to regulating circadian rhythms, which can positively affect sleep and mood.
