Is red light therapy bullshit? Does it really work?

Light might seem inconsequential and immaterial to most of us, but light is in fact ‘just’ the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation that powers all organic life on earth.

Beyond the intuitive beauty of a sunset, the red and near-infrared wavelengths of light that are found at sunset and sunrise have unique capabilities of penetrating the skin, flesh and bones of our bodies, thus setting off an array of bio-chemical processes in our cells.

Just like the midday sun (full-spectrum light) produces Vitamin-D, tans the skin, and improves your mood, the morning and evening light (red and near-infrared light) found in nature heals the cells of your body by enabling better ATP-production in your mitochondria.

That means, that if your cells have mitochondria (which of all them do), the red and near-infrared light used in HELIO red light therapy panels can help them perform their jobs better, whether that happens to be skin cells brain cells, or any other kind.

Take a look at our red light therapy panels, and consider whether a one-time investment in a high-quality red light therapy panel, might provide the beneficial energetic input that your body is built for – like a plant that only thrives in sunlight, we humans are built to be outside.
