The science
How red light therapy works.
Red and near-infrared light penetrate your skin to reach cells, mitochondria, and deep tissue. The result: more cellular energy, faster recovery, and better overall function.
4,000+ clinical studies
One of the most researched therapies in the world
Non-invasive & drug-free
No side effects when used as directed
The process
Three steps to cellular energy
Light reaches your cells
Red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) wavelengths pass through skin and tissue to reach your cells at depth.
Different wavelengths penetrate to different depths.
Mitochondria absorb the energy
Cytochrome c oxidase in your mitochondria absorbs the light, boosting ATP (cellular energy) production by up to 400%.
More ATP means cells can repair, regenerate and function better.
Your body responds
Increased cellular energy drives reduced inflammation, faster recovery, improved circulation, and enhanced collagen production.
Benefits compound with consistent daily use.

How Light Penetrates Your Skin
Different wavelengths penetrate to different depths. Click each wavelength to see how it works.
Absorbed in the epidermis and upper dermis. The most effective wavelength for surface-level skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation.
- Skin tone and texture improvement
- Collagen production boost
- Fine lines and wrinkle reduction
Penetrates deeper into the dermis, targeting fibroblasts and collagen-producing cells for enhanced tissue repair and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Enhanced collagen and elastin synthesis
- Wound healing and tissue repair
- Reduced inflammation and redness
Deep tissue penetration reaching subcutaneous fat and upper muscle layers. Invisible to the eye but highly effective for recovery and pain relief.
- Muscle recovery and reduced soreness
- Joint pain and inflammation relief
- Enhanced cellular energy (ATP)
Maximum penetration depth, reaching deep muscle tissue and bone. The workhorse wavelength for athletic recovery and deep tissue healing.
- Deep muscle tissue recovery
- Bone and joint health support
- Mitochondrial function optimisation
How it works
The Science of Light
Red and near-infrared light penetrate your skin to energise cells at the source - your mitochondria. This boost in cellular energy supports your body's natural processes: collagen production, muscle recovery, circulation, and more.
Science-backed outcomes
Red light therapy is being explored across multiple areas of health and performance.
Studies investigate how specific red and near infrared wavelengths might influence recovery, skin health, energy and more. Below are some key areas of active research.
