Red Light Therapy
Charlotte, NC | FORT MILL SC
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the body's cells and tissues.
These cellular changes lead to various therapeutic effects, such as accelerated wound healing, reduced pain and inflammation, improved skin health, and enhanced muscle recovery. Red light therapy is a safe and gentle treatment modality that has been clinically proven to offer numerous health benefits.
Red Light Therapy FAQs
Does red light therapy work?
Yes, red light therapy used in infrared saunas is an effective, research-backed treatment. The low-level red light wavelengths penetrate the skin and tissues, stimulating cellular activity throughout the body. This process supports collagen production, reduces inflammation, promotes muscle recovery and wound healing, and enhances overall wellness from the inside out. At Blue Root Health, we offer red light therapy through our infrared saunas to support full-body rejuvenation, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness. Many clients notice improvements in skin clarity, muscle recovery, and general vitality after regular sessions.
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red or near-infrared light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and rejuvenate skin cells. It works by penetrating the skin and energizing mitochondria (the powerhouses of cells), leading to enhanced tissue repair and cellular function. Blue Root Health integrates red light therapy into holistic wellness plans, particularly for skincare and anti-aging benefits.
What does red light therapy do?
Red light therapy has multiple benefits for both skin and body health. It promotes cellular regeneration, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and enhances collagen production. This therapy is commonly used for anti-aging, wound healing, pain management, and muscle recovery. At Blue Root Health, we focus on facial LED light therapy to help clients achieve youthful, radiant skin while also supporting overall well-being.
Is red light therapy safe?
Yes, red light therapy is considered very safe when used correctly. It is non-invasive, painless, and free of harmful side effects. Most people tolerate it well, and it is suitable for all skin types.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red light therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to targeted areas of the body. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. Once absorbed, the light energy stimulates cellular processes, including increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule responsible for cellular energy production. This boost in ATP production enhances cellular metabolism and function, leading to a range of therapeutic effects.
Additionally, red light therapy stimulates the release of nitric oxide, which improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. These combined effects promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and support overall healing. Red light therapy is a non-invasive and safe treatment modality that harnesses the body's natural processes to promote health and well-being.
