Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to interact with cells in the body. It is increasingly used in skincare, fitness, recovery and general wellness settings.

Research suggests that red light therapy may provide benefits for certain applications, although results depend on the wavelengths, light intensity, treatment distance, session time and consistency of use.

Red light therapy is not a cure-all or a replacement for medical treatment, and individual results will vary.

Depending on the product and treatment protocol, red light therapy has been researched for its potential to support:

• Skin appearance and signs of ageing

• Collagen production and skin repair

• Muscle and exercise recovery

• Circulation

• Hair growth in certain types of hair loss

• General wellness

The strength of evidence varies between applications, and results cannot be guaranteed.

Red light is visible and generally works closer to the surface of the skin, making it commonly used for skincare applications.

Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye and can penetrate more deeply. Many Redara products combine both to provide a broader light therapy experience.

Red light therapy is generally well tolerated when an appropriate device is used correctly. Unlike sunlight and tanning beds, Redara devices do not use UV light.

Always follow the recommended treatment distance, session time and eye-safety instructions. Longer or more frequent sessions do not necessarily produce better results.

The correct session length and frequency depend on the device, irradiance, treatment area and intended use. Follow the protocol supplied with your particular Redara product.

Results are normally gradual rather than immediate. Consistent use over several weeks is generally more important than excessive exposure.

Your ideal product depends on your goals and the size of the treatment area.

Compact panels, masks and handheld products are suited to targeted treatment and convenient home use. Larger panels provide wider coverage and are better suited to full-body routines, gyms, clinics, studios and professional environments.
