Red Light Therapy
1. The Biological “Optical Window”
Not all light is therapeutic. UV light damages DNA, and standard heat (Far Infrared) mainly warms water. Red Light Therapy hits a specific sweet spot.
2. The Mechanism: A Cellular “Power Up”
Stress causes Nitric Oxide (NO) to bind to your mitochondria, blocking oxygen absorption.
Red light photons knock the Nitric Oxide out. Oxygen rushes back in, creating an ATP energy spike.
3. Penetration Depth
4. The “Goldilocks” Dose Curve
More is not always better. Too little does nothing; too much can inhibit healing (Arndt-Schultz Law).
