If your high school student’s biology is a bit rusty, here’s a review: mitochondria – yes, “the cell power” is what red light therapy activates. This jump start will begin cell repair and regeneration. This means producing more collagen.

“This increased energy improves circulation, reduces inflammation, supports lymph detoxification, and reverses muscle recovery and tissue healing,” adds Berlinri.

Different wavelengths offer different advantages:

• Red light (630-650nm): It activates skin cells, promotes collagen production and circulation, and promotes radioactive, even concentrated skin.
• Red light (810-850nm): It targets deeper layers to help repair muscles and reduce inflammation.
