Red Light Therapy and Cognitive Performance

While it is likely that most people initially get into RLT for the sake of prettier bodies (hair, skin & fitness), one of the, by far, most exciting benefits that it provides is better brain health and cognitive performance.

Both the systemic benefits, which you’ll get from receiving the light energy anywhere on the body, and the practice of shining the light directly on the head, has been scientifically demonstrated to improve the brain’s:

1) cognitive performance on parameters such as better memory, focus, and speed in mental processes.

2) health on parameters such as neuroinflammation, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and stroke recovery.

So if you’re shining the red light on the scalp to improve the health of your hair, you’re in fact also improving the performance and health of your brain. To our great satisfaction, we once again find that RLT demonstrates an instance in which beauty, health, and happiness converge.
