Red Light Therapy
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT), also called photobiomodulation, is a natural, gentle way to heal by sending helpful light to your body and cells. Scientists around the world, including at NASA, have studied red light for over 20 years and found it works well. This therapy uses two special types of light: mid 600nm red light and mid 800nm near-infrared light, which come from the sun. When used correctly, these lights can help different parts of your body stay healthy.
How Does Red Light
Therapy Work?
Red light therapy helps your body by giving it the natural light it needs to be healthy. The red and near-infrared light can go deep into your body. Once there, they help your cells heal, reduce swelling, boost energy, help cells grow, slow aging, and do much more.
Health Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red and near-infrared light cause helpful chemical reactions in your body that help it heal and protect itself. This can make your skin healthier, reduce pain and swelling, help you sleep better, and improve muscle recovery. When you use a RedVive device, the light goes 8-11 millimeters deep into your body. This light can help your face, arms, legs, or back by working on the skin, lymph nodes, and blood vessels. Every cell, tissue, and organ in our body needs energy from mitochondria to work well. Red and near-infrared light help mitochondria make more energy and make it better, so this therapy can help many parts of your body.

Buy your own Red Light
Where to Place – Use the device on any part of your body where you have a problem. For a general energy boost, try using it on your face, stomach, chest, or back.
Where to Shine – Make sure the light touches your bare skin. Clothes block the red and nearinfrared light from reaching your cells, so take off any clothes from the area you are treating.
How Long – A 10-minute session in one spot is usually enough to help your body start healing itself. If you want to treat several areas, you can use your RedVive device for up to 40 minutes a day.
How Often – Consistency is important to get the best results. We recommend using it at least once daily, but using it 2-3 times a day can be helpful for different goals like better sleep, training, and mental sharpness. Generally, 3-5 a week is affective.
F.A.Q.
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes! Many studies around the world have shown that red light therapy is safe and works well on all parts of the body. It is a popular way to treat skin problems, sports injuries, and even help with sleep! Red light therapy doesn’t have harmful UV rays or heat like the sun, so you can use it without worrying about bad side effects.
Can Red Light Therapy Cause Harm?
No. Red light therapy is safe and doesn’t use ultraviolet (UV) light, which can cause cancer and damage cells. The light used in red light therapy won’t harm your skin.
Is Red Light Safe for My Eyes?
In most cases, red light can be quite beneficial for the eyes not to cover them and can even help repai the mitochondria in the eyes. If your eyes are sensitive to light or you take medications that make you sensitive to light, talk to your doctor before using a RedVive device. Eye coverage is available for those sensitive to light, but covering the eyes is optional.
How Does It Work?
RedVive uses red and near-infrared (NIR) light to go deep into your skin and body, helping to heal. This natural light helps your mitochondria (the powerhouses of cells) produce energy for many functions in your body.
How Do I Use a RedVive?
Using red light therapy is easy: Turn on your RedVive, point it at the area you want to treat, and relax for 10 minutes. No setup needed, just get comfortable and enjoy. With a few sessions a week, you’ll start to feel the healing effects of red light therapy.
How Long Does It take to Work?
You can see results after the first treatment session. To get the best results, use your RedVive daily. Using it 2-3 times a day can be helpful for certain problems. Red light therapy works quickly and effectively.
Is Red Light Therapy Backed by Clinical Research?
Yes. The light used in RedVive has been studied in over 500 human trials and 4,000 lab studies. Many peer-reviewed medical studies and clinical trials over the past few decades have shown positive results with almost no health risks.
