01 The Cellular Powerhouse

Within our cells, mitochondria act like tiny engines, converting light into energy that fuels cellular functions. When cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria absorbs red and near-infrared light, it enhances the electron transfer within the cell, boosting ATP production and cellular vitality.

02 ATP Energy Boost

ATP powers every cell, and its increased production leads to enhanced energy for cellular repair and function. Higher ATP levels support cell renewal and reduce inflammation, driving the healing and regenerative processes throughout the body.

03 Optimised Cellular Function

Red light therapy balances oxidative stress by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and strengthening the body's antioxidant defences. This balance reduces inflammation, promoting a healthier environment for cellular function and healing.

04 Collagen Production

Red light stimulates collagen synthesis, crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and repairing tissues. Boosted collagen levels aid in wound healing, minimise scars, and enhance skin texture for a youthful appearance.

05 Inflammation Control

Red light therapy modulates inflammatory pathways, helping to control and reduce chronic inflammation. This regulation is beneficial for conditions like arthritis, providing relief and promoting long-term wellness.
