Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. When light in the 600–900 nm range penetrates the skin, it’s absorbed by mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of your cells.
This triggers an increase in cellular energy production (ATP), enhances blood flow, and reduces oxidative stress. The result is faster repair, better performance, and improved overall cellular function — all without heat, pain, or downtime.
Full-body panels like the BlockBlueLight XXL deliver these wavelengths evenly across the body, allowing for comprehensive rejuvenation from head to toe.
Red light therapy is generally well-tolerated, but it does have important contraindications. It should be avoided over any known or suspected cancerous lesions, during pregnancy over the abdomen, and on areas with active hemorrhage or recent steroid injections. It’s also contraindicated for individuals taking photosensitizing medications or those with conditions that cause photosensitivity. Use should be avoided on actively infected, inflamed, or open wounds (unless advised by a clinician), and people with epilepsy should be cautious around flickering light sources. Anyone with implanted medical devices—such as pacemakers—should consult a healthcare provider before use.
