Benefits of Light Therapy

The science behind photobiomodulation: how red and near-infrared light support cellular repair across a surprising range of conditions.

Studies show that red and near-infrared light, which are part of PainLab's light stimulation program, are safe, with positive results in the body and without harmful side effects.

Light therapy can be life-changing and is widely used in wellness and recovery settings. It is associated with reduced inflammation, relief from deep muscle discomfort, improved skin, and better overall cellular health. As a non-invasive method, light therapy is being studied for people with a wide range of conditions, including diabetes and brain injuries.

Some studies show that light therapy increases cell energy, helping cells develop, especially into bone cells, though not all studies agree. For example, combining lasers with growth factors helped stem cells grow, but the effects depend on the laser's strength.

One study showed that laser sessions combined with melatonin improved bone recovery and increased calcium in bones.

People with surgical implants like titanium plates, metal rods, pacemakers, or breast implants often wonder if it's safe to use red light therapy. The short answer is yes: red light therapy is considered safe with these implants and can even support post-surgery recovery.
