Red Light Therapy Pads

Yes! Red light therapy pads are supported by decades of scientific research. It has been shown to improve blood flow, reduce pain, and support healing at the cellular level.

In 1993, Duke University researchers discovered the benefits of red light therapy. In 1998, three American physiologists won the Nobel Prize for discovering that nitric oxide causes blood vessels to dilate, a key process in pain relief.

Unlike medications that must be taken orally, near-infrared light triggers nitric oxide production directly at the treatment site, leading to localized pain relief and healing.

Red and infrared light penetrate the skin and trigger the release of nitric oxide from blood vessels and red blood cells. This process:

• Dilates blood vessels, increasing circulation for several hours after treatment.
• Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery, promoting cellular repair.
• Reduces inflammation and pain, aiding in long-term relief.

These effects make red light therapy an effective, non-invasive option for pain management and tissue recovery.

Clinical research has shown that red light therapy and near-infrared light therapy can:

• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Increase blood circulation for faster healing
• Support nerve regeneration to restore sensation
• Enhance muscle recovery and reduce soreness
• Promote skin health by stimulating collagen production

The wavelength of light determines how deeply it penetrates the skin and tissues. The most effective ranges for therapy are:

• Red light (630-700nm): Targets surface-level tissues, great for skin health and inflammation reduction.
• Near-infrared light (800-900nm): Penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, and nerves, aiding in pain relief and recovery.

HealthLight uses both red and near-infrared light to maximize benefits at multiple depths.

For red light therapy to be effective, the amount of energy delivered—measured in joules—must be sufficient to stimulate cellular activity. HealthLight pads are designed to provide the optimal dosage to ensure results.

Higher-intensity light therapy means:

• Faster treatment times
• More energy delivered per session
• Longer-lasting effects

Our therapy pads are engineered to deliver the right amount of light energy for maximum pain relief and healing.
