Pain relief and injury repair 
Red light and near-infrared light often used to treat frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome and relieve neck, back and shoulder pain. Several studies published on the US National Library of Medicine also mention that the effects of low-power light therapy when associated with exercise can be effective in relieving pain for patients with osteoarthritis in the knees. This level of electromagnetic radiation (typically between 600nm to 800nm) can penetrate through the surface of the skin and reach the bones and soft tissues, boosting the energy in the body&#8217;s muscular cells which helps repair injuries.&nbsp;
Where to go: Clinics such as Excel Medical Group and Dr. Michael Singleton provide cold laser therapy which is also a form of low level laser therapy treatment that relieve physical pain and heal injuries. Rogue Care, on the other hand, provides a range of different RLT equipment for clinical and home use that can be purchased via their website.<a href="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56325" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting.png" alt="gafencu magazine red light therapy LLLT body sculpting" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-400x266.png 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-600x399.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a>

Skincare 
Aestheticians and dermatologists have also jumped on the bandwagon of using red light therapy&nbsp;to regenerate the skin. A study published in the Photomedicine and Laser Surgery journal offered results that showed RLT&#8217;s effects in skin rejuvenation, healing acne scars and improving skin complexion. Harvard Health Publishing has also reported that LED light on the skin can stimulate the production of collagen and skin recovery.&nbsp;
Where to go: Popular skincare and beauty company Skin Laundry, uses medical grade lasers to gently remove damaged skin and minimise the appearance of unwanted discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. There are also self-care devices such as GLOWGEAR&#8217;s GLOWDROP 4-in-1 Facial Device offers an all-in-one experience that allows you to cleanse the skin as well as expel breakouts and treat fine lines with its &#8216;Thermo-Glo Booster&#8217; and NASA-inspired red &amp; Blue LED lights.

Psychological benefits
Several studies published on the US National Institute of Medicine also have shown results reflecting the psychological benefits of infrared light therapy, stating that there were improvements of symptoms in patience with dementia and Alzheimer&#8217;s and a significant improvement in the conditions of patience with depression.
Concerns 
Red light therapy is an increasingly popular alternative therapy to healing and skincare though academics and medical professionals do warn that although RLT are generally considered safe with no reported significant effects or risks, it is still a relatively new treatment with limited clinical studies therefore the majority of beneficial claims of the treatments are anecdotal and based on personal experience.
