Got questions? so do a lot of people when they first discover the awesome power of red light therapy. We've gathered the most common questions people have about red light therapy and wanted to put them here.
1
What is low level light therapy?
Low-level light therapy, or photobiomodulation, uses Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology to apply light energy to the body for healing benefits. It works like plant photosynthesis, creating a natural reaction that helps the body. The light energy from the LEDs can improve cell activity, speed up the repair of damaged skin, and boost collagen production, which keeps skin smooth and healthy. Studies show that LED light therapy can improve skin texture, make skin firmer and more resilient, increase lymphatic activity, restore healthy skin function, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and skin spots. It works for all skin types, is non-invasive, painless, and requires no recovery time, so you can go back to your normal activities right after the treatment.

LED devices are considered extremely low risk when used as intended.
3
Does Light therapy hurt?
No. Light therapy is non-invasive and is painless when used as intended.
4
How safe is light therapy?
Low-level light therapy uses light emitting diode (LED) technology, originally developed for NASA space missions. Unlike lasers, LED technology produces very little heat, making it a safe option with minimal risk.
5
Does light therapy utilize UV light?
No. ReGen pods utilize a combination of red, and near-infrared (not visible to the naked eye) light emitting diodes (LEDs) only.
