Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate your skin and cells, gently stimulating your body’s natural healing processes. It’s non-invasive, painless, and designed to help reduce inflammation, improve skin tone, boost collagen production, and even support muscle recovery. Think of it as a light-based energy boost for your cells — empowering you to heal faster, feel better, and look radiant.

Yes! Red light therapy is safe, gentle, and non-invasive. Certain red light applications are FDA-approved for specific uses, underscoring its safety.

While our devices are designed for effortless, at-home use, it’s important to note that red light therapy may not be suitable for everyone. Please review the contraindications carefully before using your device. If you have any pre-existing conditions or specific concerns, consult a healthcare professional to ensure red light therapy is right for you.

Oh yeah, it does! Red light therapy is backed by extensive research and scientific studies showing its potential benefits for skin health, pain relief, inflammation reduction, and more. Our devices aim to enhance your wellness routine by supporting your skin, connective tissues, muscles, bones, brain, and sense of health. With ongoing research into red and near-infrared light (and other light spectrums too), the potential applications of this groundbreaking technology continue to grow. We are excited to see and share the developments.

Red and near-infrared light penetrates the cells, targeting the mitochondria — the cell’s “powerhouses”. Red light therapy helps the mitochondria stimulate cellular energy production (ATP) more effectively, which allows cells to repair, regenerate, and perform at their best. The effects? Reduced inflammation, pain relief, improved cell health, and more. Think of it as supercharging your body, millions of cells at a time.

Results depend on your individual goals and consistency. Some people experience noticeable improvements within a few sessions, such as less muscle and joint soreness or increased energy levels. More significant benefits, like enhanced muscle recovery, reduced appearance of wrinkles and scars, improved skin elasticity, and evened out pigmentation usually emerge with consistent use over 4-8 weeks. With red light therapy, consistency is key, as results tend to compound over time.

It is safe to use red light therapy every day! For most people, 10-20 minutes per session, 3-5 times a week, is effective and realistic. (Personally, we like to red light every single day)

For the best results, position yourself 6 to 12 inches from your Renew panel device. This distance allows the light’s wavelengths to penetrate more powerfully into your skin and cells, maximizing the wellness benefits. For the Renew mask device, please place directly on your skin.

Think of light intensity like warmth from a campfire — the closer you are, the more you’ll feel it. With red light therapy, the closer you are to the device, the more “intense” the light energy is. This means sitting closer (about 6 inches away) gives you a stronger dose of light than sitting further away. Sitting a bit farther back (around 12 inches) still provides benefits but with a slightly gentler intensity. Adjust your distance based on what feels comfortable, and remember that consistent use is what really brings results.

We recommend always wearing the protective goggles provided with your Renew device during use. Protecting your eyes ensures maximum comfort and safety during your treatment sessions.

For the mask, protective eye gear is not required, as its design naturally shields your eyes while focusing on your facial skin.

Many users with full-body devices prefer to Renew in the nude. Delivering direct light to the surface area of your body leads to better light therapy outcomes, but full nudity is not necessarily required for effective, full-body use. Lighter garments like underwear, bras, shorts, and socks may be worn without hampering a treatment, though the covered areas not exposed directly to the light likely won’t receive the same level of benefit.

Yes, red light therapy is gentle and suitable for all skin types and tones. It does not rely on heat or UV light, so there’s no risk of burning or skin damage.

Place your Renew device in a comfortable, quiet space where you can relax during your sessions. Many customers enjoy stacking wellness routines, like stretching, meditating, or foam rolling, with their red light therapy. The room does not need to be dark for you to reap all the benefits of the wavelengths.

Many people wonder if red light therapy is akin to sauna therapy or the benefits of sunlight. While all these therapies offer advantages, they differ and yield distinct outcomes.

Sauna therapy aims to elevate body temperature, achieved through exposing the body to heated air or infrared radiation. Infrared exposure, in particular, is believed to deliver more efficient and time-saving benefits at lower temperatures. Both sauna methods raise heart rate, induce perspiration, trigger the production of heat shock proteins, and enhance bodily functions. Unlike red light therapy, infrared light emitted by saunas is invisible and penetrates deeper into the body, with wavelengths ranging from 700 to 1200 nanometers.

In contrast, red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, does not focus on increasing perspiration or improving cardiovascular function. Instead, it acts on the cellular level, enhancing mitochondrial function and ATP production. In essence, it nourishes cells to boost energy levels. Both therapies serve different purposes, depending on desired outcomes.

It depends on the treatment! Red light therapy is generally safe to use after most non-invasive beauty treatments, as it can help calm the skin and support recovery. However, if you’ve had procedures like chemical peels, laser treatments, botox, sculptra, or microneedling, it’s best to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions before using light therapy. When in doubt, wait until your skin has fully healed and any redness, peeling, or sensitivity has subsided before resuming your red light routine. It is always best to consult directly with the practitioner that provided you the service.

The hertz setting on the panel controls the pulsing frequency of the light, which can influence how your body absorbs the light. The pre-set modes have certain hertz associated to most effectively treat for the concern you're targeting. If you’re doing a custom mode, here’s a quick guide on how to choose:

0 Hz: Best for general skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, and overall wellness. The steady light allows for consistent, deeper penetration.
10-40 Hz: Perfect for supporting healing and recovery post-trauma/treatment. Lower frequencies promote cell repair, calm inflammation, and are gentler on the skin.
100-500 Hz: This range is great for energizing and boosting circulation for things like fat burning and muscle recovery.
1000+ Hz: Higher frequencies are typically used for more advanced or specific treatments, like energizing large areas or using during exercise, but they aren’t as common for skin-focused routines.
