How does red light therapy work?
How red light therapy activates your cells and turns your body 'back on'
You wake up, but you don't really feel rested. Your skin looks a bit dull. Your body feels sluggish.
For many people, this is the new normal. But what if it's not your fault?
What if your body simply no longer gets what it needs to function properly?
Read on to learn how red light therapy can change this...
Je wordt wakker, maar voelt je niet echt uitgerust. Je huid oogt wat flets. Je lichaam voelt traag.
Voor veel mensen is dit het nieuwe normaal. Maar wat als het niet aan jou ligt?
Wat als je lichaam simpelweg niet meer krijgt wat het nodig heeft om goed te functioneren?

Do you recognize this?
- “I never feel fully rested”
- “My skin reacts to everything and looks gray”
- “Pain in my shoulder/back that keeps coming back”
- “I don't want medication or Botox, but I do want results.”
- “I want my energy back, without bullshit hacks”
Then you are not alone.
Our users aren't just hardcore biohackers. They're people like you:
People who understand that health is more than just treating symptoms.
What if you could reboot your cells?
Not with caffeine, pills or a new skin cream.
But by simply triggering them again to do what they were built for : restore. Renew. Activate.
That trigger. That's red light therapy.
How does it work? In a nutshell: your cells get their energy back.
Your body contains billions of mitochondria—the batteries that power your cells. When they produce less energy (ATP), your entire system runs slower.
Red light with the right wavelengths (630–660 nm & 810–850 nm) stimulates mitochondria to produce energy again. This happens at the cellular level, and you feel the effect throughout your body:
✅ More energy (no more afternoon slump)
✅ Less inflammation & pain
✅ Faster recovery after sports
✅ Your skin becomes firmer, calmer and smoother
✅ You sleep deeper and recover better
Supported by more than 6,000 scientific studies

Symptom Management vs. Root Cause Management
Why does this do something that your creams, supplements, and pills don't?
Because they all address symptoms , not the cause.
Because what do we do when our body gives us signals that something is not right?
We resort to quick, temporary solutions:
- For fatigue? Coffee, energy drinks, or B12 pills.
- For skin problems? Expensive serums, peels, or antibiotic creams.
- For pain or inflammation? Paracetamol, ibuprofen, or even anti-inflammatories.
- For poor sleep or mental unrest? Melatonin, sleeping pills, or antidepressants.
It's all just symptom control.
If you feel like you “never really get charged up”… it’s not you.
It is due to the deeper cause : your cells no longer receive input to function properly.
📉 Your mitochondria make less ATP.
📉 Your skin cells renew more slowly.
📉 Your sleep pattern becomes disrupted.
📉 Your inflammation level remains low-grade elevated.
And meanwhile you keep looking for solutions in bottles, pills or routines -
without it really changing anything.
But what if you could tackle the problem at the source?
What if you simply gave your body back what it had been used to for millions of years?
That is exactly what red light therapy does.
In 10 minutes a day, just at home.
👉 Do not mask.
👉 But recover. From within.
A 47 year old woman emailed us:
"I used serums for 80 euros each for years. Now I do 10 minutes of red light every morning.
And people ask me what I had done. Nothing. Just a red light."
That's the difference between solving and covering up .
Why red light therapy is indispensable in our modern lives
We spend 90% of our time indoors. We work under harsh fluorescent lighting. We train indoors. We sleep behind blackout curtains. We stare at screens all day.
And meanwhile we wonder why we are exhausted, our skin is getting duller, and we are just not “really recovering”.
The answer is simple:
Your body runs on light, just like a plant. But in the world we live in today, it receives far too little of this energy source.
And that means:
No morning sun on your skin (which resets your biological clock)
No red or infrared light to turn on your cells
No natural light waves to boost your energy production
What do you get instead?
- Blue light from your screen
- Cold, artificial LED light
- Chronic understimulation of your mitochondria
Your system will still run — but at half power.
Red light therapy = the missing link
You don't have time to sit in the sunlight for 2–3 hours every day.
But that is what your body needs to function as it is intended.
One session of red light therapy of 10–15 minutes
= the same dose of therapeutic red light
like 3 hours outside in sunlight.
That's the light nourishment your body craves.
It's the easiest way to give your body back what it hasn't been getting all this time.
Once you start, something special happens:
- Your cells come back to life.
- Your energy increases.
- Your skin calms down.
- You recover faster.
And for the first time in a while, your system feels … switched on.
"I thought I was just getting older. But it turned out I was just lacking light."

Why our red light works (and so many other products don't)
There are countless red light therapy products on the market. You've probably seen the masks on social media, but 90% do virtually nothing .
Why? Because they don't meet the three essential requirements:
1. Wavelength
Most cheap panels use incorrect or inefficient wavelengths.
2. Power
Too weak? Then nothing happens.
Too strong? Then your skin heats up, which actually disrupts the effect.
Our devices are designed as recommended in scientific studies.
3. Safety
CE certified, medical grade, and real people on the phone if you have questions.
Which light is right for you?
That depends on what exactly you want to achieve.
Larger panels are usually more efficient – in terms of both time and money. They cover a large area at once, which is convenient if you want to treat multiple areas at once (for example, your back, legs, or entire front). This eliminates the need to move panels or perform multiple sessions at once.
Smaller models are useful if you want to use them locally – for example, just for your face, a knee or your lower back – or if you are often on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions About Red Light Therapy
What exactly is red light therapy?
Red light therapy uses concentrated light waves in the red and near-infrared spectrum to energize your cells. This allows them to recover faster, function better and reduce inflammation. In practice, you see this in tighter skin, less pain and faster recovery.
How exactly does it work?
It's all about your mitochondria, the energy factories of your cells. Specific light waves 'turn them on', so to speak. They start producing more ATP, which is what your cells need to renew themselves. Think of it as food for your cells, but via light instead of food.
When will I see results?
It depends a bit on what you want to achieve. People who use it for pain often notice a difference within 1 to 3 weeks. For skin improvement it is usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how often you use it. And importantly: it is not about one magic session, it only really works if you do it regularly.
Are there any side effects?
If you use it normally: almost none. At most a slight redness or warm feeling immediately after the session, especially if you work with high intensity. With our panels we always advise: start with 5 minutes at a time, and slowly build up to 10 to 15 minutes.
Can I use it safely at home?
Definitely. Our customers are often surprised at how easy it is to use. You put the panel down, point it at the area to be treated, turn it on and you're done. Important: choose a device that is certified and has the right wavelengths and power, because not all red light devices are the same.
Is it reimbursed by health insurance?
Unfortunately not at the moment. Even though there is a lot of scientific evidence, RLT is not yet recognized as a regular therapy. That means you pay for it yourself. But many of our clients see it as a one-time investment in their health and at the same time save on salon visits or expensive creams with recurring costs.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients combine it with microneedling, peelings, hyaluronic acid or supplements. Light therapy actually works strengthening, it supports the body's natural recovery process, which often makes other treatments work even better.
