Top 7 Reasons to Incorporate Red Light Therapy Into Your Wellness Routine

Why Red Light Therapy is More Than Just a Trend

Red light therapy (RLT) has gained attention in both wellness and medical communities for its ability to support healing, recovery, and vitality. Using low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, RLT stimulates cellular processes that help your body repair, rejuvenate, and perform at its best.

Whether you’re an athlete, working on your skin health, managing joint discomfort, or simply looking for ways to age well, here are seven science-backed reasons to make Red Light Therapy by DEXA+ part of your wellness routine.

1. Boost Cellular Energy for Faster Recovery

RLT stimulates your mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of your cells — to produce more ATP (energy), helping tissues heal and perform optimally.

2. Reduce Muscle Soreness and Support Performance Gains

By lowering oxidative stress and inflammation, RLT can shorten recovery time between workouts — allowing you to train more frequently and with better output.

3. Improve Skin Health and Reduce Visible Aging

Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production, smoothing fine lines and improving skin texture.

 The National Library of Medicine reports significant skin quality improvements with regular RLT use.

4. Relieve Joint Pain and Enhance Mobility

RLT helps calm inflammation in joints, supporting flexibility and comfort — especially for those managing arthritis or injuries.

WebMD recognizes red light therapy as a complementary joint health treatment.


5. Support Fat Reduction Goals

Some studies indicate that RLT may positively influence fat cell metabolism, making it a supportive tool in body composition improvement.

Research in the Our Friends at Healthline found red light exposure can impact fat loss outcomes.

6. Improve Sleep Quality

Evening sessions of red light therapy can help regulate circadian rhythm and increase melatonin production, leading to better rest.

A recent study at Harvard explains how light wavelengths influence sleep patterns.

7. Reduce Whole-Body Inflammation

Chronic inflammation can lead to fatigue, aging, and disease risk. RLT has been shown to help modulate inflammatory processes throughout the body.

See NIH research on red light’s anti-inflammatory benefits.
