red light therapy
Skin rejuvenation treatment
Red light therapy is a treatment that exposes skin to low-wavelength red or near-infrared light, claimed to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve skin appearance.
The light supposedly penetrates tissue to stimulate cellular repair.
Popular in wellness and anti-aging circles, the therapy uses LED panels, handheld devices, or full-body beds: I've been doing red light therapy for my joint pain.
Scientific evidence for most claimed benefits remains limited.
