What is Red Light Therapy

The Science of Photobiomodulation

Red light therapy (RLT) is a clinically studied treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular energy production.

When red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin:

• They interact with mitochondria (the “power plants” of your cells)
• Support ATP (cellular energy) production
• Encourage collagen synthesis
• Improve microcirculation
• Help reduce visible inflammation

This process is known as photobiomodulation (PBM).

Unlike UV light, therapeutic red light does not damage skin. It delivers targeted wavelengths that promote cellular recovery and regeneration.

Why Wavelength Matters

Not all light is therapeutic.

VITERA WAVE™ delivers:

• 630 nm (Red Light) – Ideal for surface-level skin rejuvenation
• Near-Infrared up to 850 nm – Deeper tissue penetration for muscle & joint support

These wavelengths are among the most studied ranges in aesthetic and therapeutic applications.

CLINICAL INTEREST & POPULARITY

Red light therapy has been widely studied in:

• Dermatology
• Sports medicine
• Physical therapy
• Aesthetic medicine

Published research suggests red and near-infrared light support:

• Collagen production
• Circulation enhancement
• Cellular energy metabolism
• Temporary pain relief

The treatment is increasingly popular across:

• Luxury spas
• Biohacking clinics
• Performance recovery centers
• Dermatology practices
