# What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that may help skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of your body heal faster without damaging the body. It exposes you to low levels of red or near-infrared light. Infrared light is a type of energy your eyes can’t see, but your body can feel as heat. Red light is similar to infrared, but you can see it.
Red light therapy is also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), low-power laser therapy (LPLT), and phot biomodulation (PBM).
– How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
With red light therapy, you expose your skin to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light. A part of your cells called mitochondria, sometimes called the power generators of your cells, soak it up and make more energy. Some experts think this helps cells repair themselves and become healthier. This spur healing in skin and muscle tissue.
Red light therapy uses very low levels of heat and doesn’t hurt or burn the skin. It’s not the same type of light used in tanning booths, and it doesn’t expose your skin to damaging UV rays.

– What Are the Risks?
How much infrared light is too much
Red light therapy is generally considered safe, even though researchers are not exactly sure how and why it works. And there are no set rules on how much light to use although it is recommended to use for 30 minutes per day. Too much light may damage skin tissue, but too little might not work as well.
– Where Do You Get Red Light Therapy? It’s usually done in a doctor’s office. But some salons and dental offices do it, too. You can also buy your own red light therapy device. Salon and at-home treatments are more likely to cause side effects or injury. Talk to your doctor if you’re thinking about red light therapy.
