Red Light Therapy: How does it work?

Red Light Therapy also called Photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT) is completely safe, natural and non-invasive. The Tanning Shop Red Light Therapy bed has been designed to help promote overall health and wellness by supporting cellular function. It offers a safe non-invasive approach to wellness, fitness and health.

Red light and near infrared light stimulate mitochondria. These wavelengths of light cause your mitochondria to produce more energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP provides the fuel that each cell needs to carry out all of its functions, including regeneration and healing.
