Photobiomodulation is directly pro-metabolic as it induces an increase in ATP (energy) production from the mitochondria. Our mitochondria required light to function properly. Red light therapy supplements, environmental light with concentrated doses of red and near-infrared light, which is the specific spectrum the mitochondria uses to produce ATP.

During a treatment, the light source is applied near or directly on your skin, allowing it to penetrate your skin tissue. A chain of complex physiological reactions will then occur, particularly within damaged tissues, and the process of cell repair is activated and accelerated.
