Red Light Therapy
What is Red Light Therapy?
Simply put, Red Light Therapy (RLT) and Near-Infrared Light Therapy (NIR) both use specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity, but they differ in depth of penetration and biological effects.
Red Light (Visible Light, 620-700nm)
Penetrates shallow layers of the skin (up to 5-10mm deep)
Primarily affects skin cells and surface-level tissues, blood circulation and cellular energy production.
Near-Infrared Light (Invisible Light, 700-1100nm)
Penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, and bones (up to 50mm deep)
Reaches mitochondria in deeper tissues, promoting cellular repair and regeneration.
Enhanced Wound Healing & Tissue Regeneration
Red light increases circulation and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), supporting tissue regeneration and recovery not only for cosmetic wounds but also for injuries and surgical healing.
Reduction of Inflammation & Oxidative Stress
Red Light lowers chronic inflammation markers throughout the body, not just at the surface level but also by modulating immune system responses.
Improved Anti-Aging & Skin Rejuvenation
Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production, which improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances skin firmness. It can also even out skin tone and reduce redness or pigmentation issues.
Increase in ATP (energy) Production
Red Light penetrates deep into tissues and directly boosts mitochondrial function (energy production). With more ATP available, cells can perform their repair and regeneration roles more efficiently, meaning faster healing, better recovery, and more resilient organs.

What People Say About Us
Results you can see in reel time! I could actually see the blood vessels in my chest become more visible during the therapy.
Jessica K.
After my cardiac episode, I wanted to find therapies to speed up my healing process, and to keep from taking medications for the rest of my life. This is helping me do just that
Colt F.
It's hard to know what to believe and what is real anymore with social media and ads. I know I am receiving real therapeutic-grade Red Light Therapy at Total Human Protocol.
