MATTR Insights: The Power of Red Light Therapy
Unlock recovery, vitality, and cellular optimization with one of wellness’ most trusted tools.
At MATTR, Red Light Therapy is more than a single service—it’s a foundational element woven throughout multiple advanced modalities. Whether supporting energy production, recovery, or skin health, red and near-infrared light is harnessed across a range of treatments to activate healing from within.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light—typically between 600 and 1,000 nanometers—to penetrate the skin and stimulate mitochondrial activity. By improving cellular oxygenation and releasing nitric oxide, this process boosts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, accelerating repair, reducing inflammation, and helping the body restore its natural balance.
The Science Behind Red Light Therapy
Heliotherapy, also known as light therapy, is not a new science. The ancient Egyptians built healing chambers using colored glass to create specific light frequencies for treatments, and Hippocrates noted sunlight's mental health benefits. Today, we explore the power of red light therapy, leveraging modern advancements in technology to optimize health and wellness.
Evidence-Based Benefits of Red Light Therapy
✓ Boosts Cellular Energy
Stimulates mitochondria for enhanced ATP production, fueling cells to repair and regenerate.
✓ Supports Immune Regulation
Shown to activate immune cells and reduce inflammation—key for both acute recovery and chronic conditions.
✓ Enhances Mood & Mental Clarity
Linked to improved cognitive function and emotional well-being, particularly when used consistently.
✓ Promotes Hair Growth
Clinical applications have demonstrated red light’s effectiveness in stimulating new growth in areas affected by hair thinning or loss.
✓ Elevates Skin Health
Known to increase collagen production, smooth fine lines, reduce hyperpigmentation, and support overall skin tone.
✓ Decreases Pain & Inflammation
Harnessing the power of photobiomodulation (PBM), this therapy uses red and near-infrared light to naturally reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate the body’s healing process.
Integrated Red Light Modalities at MATTR
Red light therapy at MATTR isn't limited to one piece of equipment—it’s infused across multiple modalities, each with its own specialized benefit. Whether experienced through whole-body systems, targeted treatments, or stacked within a broader protocol, red light technology plays a critical role in achieving your wellness goals.
