Red light therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Widely used in UK clinics, it’s a safe and effective solution for improving skin, relieving pain, and accelerating recovery.
Unlike UV rays, red light does not harm the skin. Instead, it penetrates deep into tissues to enhance cellular function, making it ideal for a range of therapeutic and cosmetic applications.

Red light therapy is used to treat a variety of health, wellness, and aesthetic concerns.
Red light therapy works by stimulating your cells' mitochondria—the energy producers—through exposure to specific light wavelengths (typically 630–850 nanometres). This enhances ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which fuels cell repair, regeneration, and anti-inflammatory processes.

Recovery time following red light therapy is generally minimal, making it a popular choice for various therapeutic purposes. Most people do not experience any downtime post-treatment, as red light therapy is non-invasive and designed to enhance cellular function and promote healing without causing damage to the skin or underlying tissues. Some individuals might experience mild, temporary side effects such as slight redness or a warm sensation, but these typically resolve themselves quickly.
