Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Inflammation

September 04, 20252 min read

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury or stress. While short-term inflammation is essential for healing, chronic inflammation can lead to discomfort, joint pain, and other health concerns. At Mill Creek Red Light & Laser, we help clients address inflammation in a safe, non-invasive way — and red light therapy is a key part of that solution.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT) uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and reach cells at a deep level. Unlike UV light, RLT does not damage the skin; instead, it stimulates cellular processes that support healing, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness.

How Red Light Therapy Reduces Inflammation

Here’s why red light therapy is becoming a go-to treatment for inflammation:

1. Boosts Cellular Energy

RLT stimulates mitochondria — the “powerhouse” of your cells — to produce more ATP, the energy your cells need to function. When cells are energized, they repair tissue more efficiently and reduce inflammatory responses.

2. Enhances Blood Flow

Red light therapy improves circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to inflamed areas while helping remove toxins. This enhanced blood flow speeds up recovery and eases discomfort.

3. Reduces Oxidative Stress

Chronic inflammation is often fueled by oxidative stress. Red light therapy helps neutralize free radicals and supports antioxidant activity, creating a more balanced, less inflamed environment in your body.

4. Supports Joint and Muscle Health

Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, post-workout soreness, or general joint pain, red light therapy helps reduce swelling and promotes tissue repair. Many clients notice improved mobility and decreased discomfort after just a few sessions.

5. Complements Holistic Wellness

RLT isn’t just a quick fix — it works alongside healthy lifestyle habits like proper hydration, exercise, and balanced nutrition. This combination supports long-term inflammation management and overall well-being.

What to Expect During a Session

Red light therapy is painless, non-invasive, and relaxing. Most sessions last 10–20 minutes. You may feel a gentle warmth as the light penetrates your skin, but there’s no downtime — you can return to your day immediately after your session.
