WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Whole body red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy (PBM), is a safe and relaxing treatment that has been shown to promote the body’s natural processes for metabolizing free radicals and minimizing the damage they cause. This boost in the body’s natural healing cycle helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing of damaged tissue. PBM has also been shown to increase the rate and quality of tissue repair, improve muscle performance, enhance recovery, reduce pain and it has no known negative side effects.
This treatment supercharges your cells, causing them to mass-produce energy. It also helps accelerate the blood flow to active tissues by 150x the normal amount to increase healing.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red Light Therapy uses low levels of red or near-infrared light to help power your cells and promote healing and energy. The low wavelength red light produced by our Red Light Therapy machines that can be absorbed by the mitochondria in your body, which are responsible for many important processes in your day to day health, healing abilities, and energy production.
Are There Any Risks to Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation uses very low levels of heat that do not hurt or burn the skin. Unlike tanning booths, Red Light Therapy won’t expose skin to damaging UV rays.

“RED LIGHT THERAPY DURING PREGNANCY”
Pregnancy is a time of profound changes in a woman’s body, and ensuring the safety of any therapeutic interventions is of paramount importance. Red light therapy, a non-invasive and gentle treatment, has garnered attention for its potential benefits in various health conditions. In this article, we will explore a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, titled “Safety and Efficacy of Red and Near-Infrared Light Treatments in Human Pregnancy,” to examine the safety and potential advantages of red light therapy during pregnancy.
THE STUDY: SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF RED LIGHT THERAPY DURING PREGNANCY
The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of red light therapy in pregnant women. The researchers conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature, examining studies and case reports involving red light therapy during pregnancy. They specifically focused on the use of red and near-infrared light in various therapeutic applications, including pain management, wound healing, and skin rejuvenation.
SAFETY OF RED LIGHT THERAPY DURING PREGNANCY
The study’s findings revealed that red light therapy is considered safe during pregnancy when used within appropriate parameters. The researchers emphasized that the therapy’s non-invasive nature, lack of thermal damage, and minimal risk of adverse effects make it a potentially suitable treatment option for pregnant women.
Furthermore, the review of case reports showed no significant adverse events or complications associated with red light therapy in pregnant patients. This indicates that red light therapy can be administered without posing undue harm to the developing fetus or the mother.
RED LIGHT THERAPY DURING PREGNANCY
Based on the findings of the study, red light therapy appears to be a safe and potentially beneficial treatment during pregnancy. Its non-invasive nature, minimal risk of adverse effects, and potential advantages in pain management, skin health, and mood enhancement make it an attractive option for pregnant women seeking non-pharmacological interventions. With proper precautions and supervision, red light therapy can be considered as a potentially valuable therapeutic approach to support the well-being of pregnant women.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT THERAPY DURING PREGNANCY
Red light therapy offers several potential benefits that may be particularly advantageous during pregnancy:
Pain Management: Pregnancy-related discomfort, such as musculoskeletal pain and joint inflammation, is common. Red light therapy has shown promise in alleviating pain, providing a non-pharmacological option for pregnant women seeking relief without relying on medications.
Skin Health: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to skin issues such as acne, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. Red light therapy has demonstrated positive effects on skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and reducing the appearance of scars. These benefits may aid in managing pregnancy-related skin concerns.
Mood Enhancement: Pregnancy can bring hormonal fluctuations that may impact mood and emotional well-being. Red light therapy has been shown to have a positive influence on mood and may contribute to a sense of relaxation and overall well-being during pregnancy.
Better Sleep: Getting a good night’s sleep while pregnant is very difficult! However, Red Light therapy can help expectant moms sleep better and have more energy throughout the day.
RED LIGHT THERAPY POSTPARTUM
Another great way to use Red Light to help a new mom is post-birth. When used during this time, women have noticed accelerated postpartum healing. Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring significant physical and emotional changes to a woman’s body.
Red light therapy offers potential benefits for postpartum women, including wound healing, scar reduction, mood enhancement, hormonal balance, and skin rejuvenation. Its non-invasive nature, minimal risks, and evidence-based advantages make it an appealing therapeutic option. However, seeking guidance from healthcare professionals and considering individual circumstances are crucial steps to ensure the safety and effectiveness of red light therapy during the postpartum period. With proper precautions and professional oversight, red light therapy can be a valuable addition to the holistic care of postpartum women, supporting their recovery and overall well-being.
WOUND HEALING
The postpartum period often involves healing of perineal tears, episiotomies, or cesarean incisions. Red light therapy has been recognized for its positive effects on wound healing, as it stimulates cellular activity and enhances circulation. By promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation, red light therapy may aid in the healing process and accelerate postpartum recovery.
SCAR REDUCTION
Many women experience the formation of scars after childbirth, particularly those who underwent cesarean sections. Red light therapy has demonstrated potential in minimizing scar appearance and improving overall skin texture. By stimulating collagen production and modulating scar tissue, it may contribute to a smoother and less noticeable scar in the postpartum period.
HORMONAL BALANCE
Red light therapy has shown promising effects on hormonal balance. As postpartum women experience significant hormonal changes, including a drop in estrogen and progesterone levels, red light therapy may help restore hormonal equilibrium and alleviate associated symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
The postpartum period can bring about mood fluctuations, including the possibility of postpartum depression or anxiety. Red light therapy has been found to have positive effects on mood regulation and emotional well-being. Its ability to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and potentially influence neurotransmitter levels may contribute to improved mental health outcomes for postpartum women.
SKIN REJUVENATION
Pregnancy and childbirth can have an impact on the skin, leading to issues such as pigmentation changes, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. Red light therapy has been shown to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and promote a more youthful appearance. These benefits may help address common postpartum skin concerns and enhance self-confidence.
“Pain Relief without Drugs”
For over 30 years, Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Red Light therapy, has been usedfor pain relief. There are a lot of amazing studies that show that when used on a regular basis, PBM can inhibit the neuro functions that interpret pain. PBM does with without any side effects or nerve damage! In addition, studies have even shown that PBM can even impact deep in the body to your bones and joints. This gives it the ability to relieve even stubborn arthritic pain and tough migraines.
CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF:
The subjects of the study were relieved of chronic migraines with only 1-2 ten-minute treatments a week of PBM. This shows how truly easy is can be to become pain-free with non-invasive drug-free treatment.
There are also no side-effects. In fact, there are actually side benefits, since PBM has also been proven to reduce wrinkles, acne, scars, and more. Altogether, photobiomodulation is an amazing way to treat your pain while also benefitting other areas of your body.
Numerous studies have shown that Red Light can help reduce wrinkles and improve skin health.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
There are several things that make red and near infrared (NIR) light special. The first is that red and NIR light stimulates the mitochondria in your cells, an essential part of producing energy and maintaining cell health. This helps reduce cell death. It also boosts collagen, elasticity, and reduces inflammation and hyperpigmentation (like age spots)
Red and NIR light penetrates more deeply than shorter light wavelengths of light like blue and green light. As you can see in the graphic below different wavelengths of light penetrate the body at different levels. Even different colors of red light penetrate at different levels. The Mito Red light panels we use and recommend have Red and Near Infrared (NIR) lights with wavelengths of 630, 660, 810 and 850 nm wavelengths.
THE STUDIES SHOW…
The proof is there! There are many studies on Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), aka Red Light therapy, that show physical changes as well as internal changes in the body.
One study treated just half of a subject’s face with red light, the skin appeared younger-looking on the PBMT treated side compared with the untreated side.This study went on to find: the skin elasticity increased by 56% on the side treated with PBMT and 17% on the side not directly treated with PBMT. This is important! It shows that even if a body part is not immediately being exposed to the light, it still can improve to some degree. The power of these lights is real! And after the study, the subjects’ self-improvement scores were good/excellent in 83% of intervention sides and 26% of control sides.
For dermatology, another study stated: PBMT has beneficial effects on wrinkles, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, and healing of burns. It can also reduce UV damage both as a treatment and as a preventative measure. In pigmentary disorders such as vitiligo, PBMT can increase pigmentation by stimulating melanocyte proliferation and reduce depigmentation by inhibiting autoimmunity. Inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and acne can also be managed. The noninvasive nature and almost complete absence of side effects encourage further testing in dermatology.

Negative side effects have not been reported from the use of PBMT!
“Better Sleep Without Medication”
How many times has someone asked how you were doing and ‘tired’ was your response? Many people have fatigue and insomnia, but don’t know what can help. If it gets really bad, you may get a prescription, but are there other options to medication? YES! Red Light therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation (PBMT), has been proven to help people to get a better night’s sleep. See below for real studies and patient experience and learn how Red Light can help you sleep better without medication!
PROOF IT REALLY WORKS!
In a study for Alzheimer’s, the researchers discovered that in the active treatment group, the sleep duration increased by an hour after 8 days of treatment and caregivers noted improved mood, energy, and positive engagement in daily activities. None of these functional changes were noted in the placebo arm subjects.
There are so many studies like this one where they were researching PBMT for issues like strokes, brain injuries, anxiety, PTSD, and more. where they had subject report longer deeper sleep as a side effect. This goes to show that Red Light can help with fatigue – even if it is not what you’re working for!
When used specifically for insomnia, it has been observed that patients have had an easier time waking up, felt less tired throughout the day, and had fewer insomnia symptoms. PubMed did a review on PBMT for the brain and confirmed that after reviewing studies that Red Light is an effective treatment for a wide range of brain conditions – including insomnia.
In Our Own Practice, we asked our patients who have been coming in regularly for treatment about their sleep. Here’s what they reported!
