Top 4 Questions New Users Ask About Red Light Therapy
Share
Red light therapy (RLT) has exploded in popularity as a wellness, recovery, and skin health treatment — but if you’re new to it, you probably have questions. At Red Light by DEXA+, we hear from first-time clients every day who want to know what to expect, how it works, and how quickly they’ll see results.
Here are the top four most common questions we get — answered with both research and real-world experience.
1. How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate the mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of your cells. This process increases ATP (energy) production, helping your body repair and perform better.
According to Harvard Gazette, this boost in cellular energy can improve skin health, reduce inflammation, speed muscle recovery and reverse brain injury.

2. What Are the Benefits of Red Light Therapy?
Clients use RLT for a variety of reasons, and science supports its benefits:
Skin Health & Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin (National Library of Medicine).
Muscle Recovery: Reduces soreness and speeds up post-workout healing (PubMed Research).
Joint Health: Helps reduce inflammation and stiffness in joints.
Sleep Improvement: May enhance melatonin production for better rest

3. How Soon Will I See Results?
Results vary depending on your goals and consistency. Some clients notice improved skin tone or reduced soreness after just a few sessions, while others see more dramatic changes after 4–8 weeks of regular use.
For best results, we recommend a 3-5X per week for 4-8 weeks to start. As with any wellness program we suggest checking with you clinical provider before starting any new wellness or health reginme.
4. Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes — red light therapy is considered safe, non-invasive, and painless when performed at proper wavelengths and intensities. Unlike UV light, it does not damage skin or increase cancer risk.
Side effects are rare and mild, typically limited to temporary redness in sensitive skin areas.
