Red Light Therapy is the ultimate anti-aging hack. Here’s how it works and the exact protocols for rejuvenated skin, superhuman energy, laser focus, and bulletproof cellular health.
What about safety?
- Generally Safe: Research shows minimal side effects
- Don’t Overdo It: Avoid marathon sessions (more isn’t always better)
- Check with a doc if pregnant, on meds, or prone to photosensitivity
- Opt for FDA-Cleared Devices: Ensures correct intensity + safety
Don’t make these mistakes
90% of people do this wrong:
- Wrong Wavelengths: Must be 660 to 850nm
- Inconsistency: You need 3–5 sessions/week to see real results
- Underpowered Devices: Light from cheap panels don’t penetrate deep
Here are some evidence based protocols
Real research backed benefits
- Reverses skin aging: Increases collagen by ~31%, reduces wrinkles, smoothes and tightens skin
- Hair Regrowth: Clinical trials report denser, thicker hair
Here’s how it improves cellular health
- Red light stimulates ATP (cellular energy)
- Harvard-led studies show mitochondrial output can spike by up to 200%
- Result? Faster healing, less inflammation, and powerful anti-aging effects
There’s even potential for Hormone Support
- Thyroid: A 2013 study saw improved function.
- Testosterone: A small pilot showed ~50% higher T with bright light, near-infrared may give similar perks
- Indirectly: Better sleep + reduced inflammation can improves hormones.
- Sleep: Enhances melatonin production, promoting deeper rest
- Wound Healing: Studies show 50% faster tissue repair
- Brain Health: Early studies indicate benefits for cognitive function
