Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Science-backed restoration, in just minutes a day.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is a non-invasive, non-toxic treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to enhance how your body heals, functions, and performs.

Instead of masking symptoms, red light stimulates your body at the cellular level improving energy production inside your mitochondria (yep, the powerhouse of the cell).

Think of it as a nutrient for your cells. Delivered as light.

Fast Facts:

  • Backed by 3,000+ peer-reviewed clinical studies
  • Used by elite athletes, dermatologists, and wellness practitioners
  • 100% non-invasive. No UV. No downtime.
  • Benefits often felt in as little as 1–2 weeks of consistent use

What Can Red Light Therapy Help With?

Here’s a breakdown of what the research says in plain English, backed by real data.

Pain & Inflammation

  • 50 million Americans live with chronic pain (CDC)
  • Red light reduces pain signals + inflammation at the source
  • A 2019 study found significant pain relief in osteoarthritis patients using red/NIR light
  • Also shown to improve neck, back, and joint pain with zero side effects

How it works: Increases cellular energy (ATP) + reduces oxidative stress = less inflammation, faster healing.

Brain Health & Mood

  • Improves cognitive performance, memory, and focus (especially in aging adults)
  • Shown to support brain recovery post-concussion and TBI
  • May reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety when used on the prefrontal cortex
  • Potential benefits for Alzheimer’s and dementia currently in clinical trials

Why? NIR light increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain fueling neural repair and function.

Sleep & Circadian Rhythm

  • Blue light disrupts melatonin. Red light helps restore it.
  • Users report falling asleep faster and waking up more refreshed
  • A 2012 study showed increased melatonin and improved sleep in athletes using red light

Skin, Beauty & Anti-Aging

  • Boosts collagen and elastin production
  • Visibly reduces fine lines, acne, sun damage, and scars
  • Stimulates cell regeneration without damaging the skin barrier
  • A safe, natural alternative to injectables and chemical peels

One study found a 19% increase in collagen density after 12 weeks of red light therapy.

Fitness & Recovery

  • Speeds up muscle repair and post-workout recovery
  • Reduces DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
  • Increases strength, endurance, and power output
  • Used by pro athletes and Olympic teams as a legal performance enhancer

One study showed 5x faster muscle recovery with consistent red/NIR light use.

Hormones & Libido

  • Shown to support thyroid health (including Hashimoto’s)
  • Emerging research links red light with increased testosterone in men
  • May improve symptoms of menopause, including dryness and mood swings
  • Increases blood flow to hormone-producing glands = better balance

Bonus: Some users report noticeable increases in energy, libido, and drive.

Hair Growth

  • Shown to increase hair count, thickness, and density
  • Helps reactivate dormant follicles by increasing blood flow + ATP at the root
  • Works for both men and women no harsh chemicals required

Consistency is key — results often appear within 8–12 weeks of daily use.

Weight Loss & Body Contouring

  • Stimulates lipolysis (fat cell breakdown) and lymphatic drainage
  • Reduces waist, hip, and thigh circumference
  • Decreases the appearance of cellulite
  • No downtime, no needles, no crazy diets

One 2015 study showed an average 2.15 inches lost from the waist after 4 weeks of red light therapy.

Why Red Light Works

Your cells are hardwired to respond to light.

Red and near-infrared wavelengths (specifically 630–1060nm) are absorbed by the mitochondria, triggering a reaction that increases ATP the fuel your body needs to do... everything.

Increased ATP =
• Faster healing
• Better skin
• Balanced hormones
• Less pain
• Sharper brain
• Elevated energy

Side Effects?

Red light therapy is considered one of the safest therapeutic modalities available.

❌ No UV
❌ No heat damage
❌ No known serious side effects

Some users may experience temporary skin tightness or slight redness, which typically fades within minutes.

What Makes Valone Different?

Most panels on the market use 4–6 wavelengths.
Valone panels deliver a 9-wave spectrum, including 480nm, 590nm, 630nm, 660nm, 670nm, 810nm, 830nm, 850nm, 1060nm for maximum tissue targeting.

  • Clinical-grade irradiance
  • Flicker-free LEDs
  • Low EMF
  • Smart touchscreen + app control
  • Clean, modern aesthetic built to live beautifully in your space

Red light therapy isn’t a trend it’s a shift in how we think about healing and wellness.

Whether you're looking to sleep better, recover faster, or glow deeper, Valone makes it effortless to elevate your rituals from the inside out.
