Benefits of red light therapy
Improved skin health
It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars. It can also help with acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
Tissue repair
RLT can accelerate the healing process of minor wounds, cuts and burns by promoting cell regeneration and increasing blood flow to the affected area.
Pain management
It can help relieve pain and inflammation associated with a variety of conditions. It works by decreasing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
Hair growth
RLT can stimulate hair follicles and improve blood flow to the scalp, leading to thicker, healthier hair and helping to address certain types of hair loss.

Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of low-level wavelengths of red light to promote healing and rejuvenation of the skin.
​
It works by stimulating the mitochondria within cells, enhancing their ability to produce ATP, the energy-carrying molecule found in all living cells. This increase in cellular energy allows cells to function more efficiently, aiding in self-repair and rejuvenation. By penetrating approximately 5 millimeters below the skin's surface, RLT directly encourages the regeneration of skin tissues without the need for controlled damage, making it a gentle yet effective therapeutic option.
What Is Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy)?
Red light therapy — also called photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular repair at the mitochondrial level. When absorbed by the skin, these wavelengths increase ATP production, the energy currency your cells use to heal and regenerate. The result is faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced collagen production — all without UV exposure, heat, or downtime. Reset Wellness Studio's MitoPRO X panel delivers four clinically studied wavelengths (630nm, 660nm, 830nm, 850nm), making it one of the most comprehensive professional red light therapy devices available in Madison, WI.

Red light therapy FAQs

Red light therapy is safe, however, the lights are very bright. It's recommended to wear protective goggles, especially if you have a light sensitivity.

While a full-body red light therapy device may resemble a tanning bed, it uses a completely different, non-UV spectrum of light. The goal of red light therapy is to support skin health and healing, whereas the goal of a tanning bed is to alter the color of your skin (a process that involves exposure to damaging UV radiation).
At-home devices are generally less powerful than professional-grade machines. They will take longer to show results.
