Red light therapy offers a proven, non-invasive solution for people experiencing sleep issues. It improves sleep quality and directly addresses related concerns, such as poor sleep latency and disrupted circadian rhythms.
A 2012 study conducted by researchers in China examined the impact of red light therapy on the sleep quality and endurance performance of 20 female basketball players. Half of the participants underwent 30 minutes of full-body exposure using a red-light therapy device that looked like a tanning bed. The results showed that this group experienced greater enhancements in sleep quality and serum melatonin levels compared to the placebo group, which did not receive red light therapy.
Another 2022 study shows that red light therapy was applied to the prefrontal cortex of patients with subjective cognitive decline. The participants were then split into two groups (placebo and treatment groups). After five days, the treatment group experienced an increase in the duration of deep and REM sleep, while the proportion of light sleep decreased.
These are only a few studies showing specific ways red light therapy can improve sleep. In this guide, we will explore the diverse applications of RLT for a wide range of sleep-related conditions, including insomnia, circadian rhythm, melatonin-related conditions, jet lag, sleep apnea, sleep disorders, sleep quality, sleep latency, REM sleep, deep sleep, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, sleep paralysis, and Kleine-Levin syndrome. It further expands on how RLT exposure improves sleep, reviews from real customers, best tips to use RLT for better sleep, how long before bed you should use RLT, potential side effects, and other issues it helps with.
The think-piece aims to educate individuals with sleep issues about the different ways RLT can improve their lives and provide any additional information they need to make the right choice.
1. Insomnia
Insomnia is described as the inability to sleep at night, stay asleep, or wake up too early. It is considered chronic when a person’s overall quality of sleep is very poor for multiple times a week for 3 months or more. This is often caused by stress, anxiety, irregular sleep schedules, or underlying medical conditions.
Traditional methods for treating insomnia include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medications, and lifestyle changes. Recently, red light therapy (RLT) has gained attention as a potential tool for improving sleep quality, especially for individuals whose sleep issues stem from stress, inflammation, or circadian disruption.
RLT indirectly supports the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles. The red and near-infrared light wavelengths penetrate the skin and mitochondria, enhancing cellular energy production and reducing inflammation.
Device of Choice
For insomnia, a panel-based RLT device is ideal. Look for a device that emits both 660 nm (red light) and 810 nm (near-infrared light), as these lights are optimal for sleep improvement.
Usage Guidelines
You should use the device 10-30 minutes before bedtime and place it 6-12 inches away (for panels), ensuring the light reaches your face and neck while lying down. An ideal timeframe for using red light therapy is about 10-20 minutes.
Expected Results
With consistent use, most users report falling asleep faster, staying asleep longer, and waking up feeling more refreshed. Noticeable improvements in sleep quality happen within 2-4 weeks of regular RLT use.
2. Circadian Rhythm
Circadian rhythm refers to your body’s own internal 24-hour clock, which is responsible for sleep-wake cycles, hormone production, and other physiological processes.
It is majorly influenced by external cues such as light and darkness. This is why it is better for us to get sunlight when we wake up to feel fresh and start our day, and to keep electronic devices away while sleeping, as failing to do so can disrupt our circadian rhythm.
RLT helps in resetting and stabilizing the circadian rhythm by indirectly supporting melatonin production. This leads to improved sleep quality in patients.
Device of Choice
A panel-based RLT device containing 660 nm red light and 850 nm near-infrared (NIR) light can be useful. Red wavelengths may support circadian balance, while NIR helps reduce stress, inflammation, and muscle tension that may disrupt sleep. Wearable devices can also be used for relaxation and cognitive support, though their circadian effects remain under study.
Usage Guidelines
You should use the RLT device in the morning or in the early afternoon to stimulate natural sunlight and reinforce your wake cycle. Avoid using it close to bedtime as it can have a stimulating effect for some individuals. Expose yourself to the light for 10-15 minutes 3-4 times a week while standing 6-12 inches away from the panel. Ensure the light is reaching your face, head, and neck. For wearable devices, place them on your forehead or scalp. Remember to use a combination of 660 nm and 850 nm wavelengths at an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm².
Expected Results
Your circadian rhythm will stabilize with improved sleep quality, reduced daytime fatigue, and better mood regulation within 2-3 weeks of regular use of the red light therapy.
3. Melatonin-Related Conditions
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain that plays a key role in regulating the body’s sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin, or "sleep hormone," is released in response to darkness. It is responsible for promoting the feelings of drowsiness and sleepiness. Melatonin can get suppressed when exposed to bright light, like the blue light from mobile phones, laptops, etc.
Melatonin-related conditions include insomnia, delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), jet lag, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Low melatonin levels in individuals disrupt sleep, while irregular melatonin production leads to circadian rhythm disorders.
Red light therapy can support melatonin production naturally at home. It stimulates the mitochondria in cells, leading to a boost in energy production and reduced oxidative stress. As a result, RLT creates a calming, non-melatonin-suppressing light environment that supports relaxation.
Device of Choice
A panel-based or a wearable RLT device is ideal if you are suffering from melatonin-related conditions.
Usage Guidelines
Depending on your condition, use RLT for about 10-20 minutes 3-4 times a week either before bedtime or in the morning. In some conditions, RLT regulates mood and energy levels in the morning. Place the device in front of you while you are lying down 6-12 inches away from it. Expose yourself to the light for 10-20 minutes 3-4 times a week.
The RLT device should have a combination of 660 nm for better sleep and 850 nm wavelength for tissue repair and relaxation. The intensity must be around 50-100 mW/cm².
Expected Results
Real light therapy may help support healthier melatonin patterns and potentially improve your condition with consistent use. Many users report improvements in 2-4 weeks.
4. Jet Lag
Jet lag refers to our body’s reaction to being out of sync with the local time, typically after long-distance travel. It occurs when our internal body clock is misaligned due to sudden changes in the environment that are 2 or more time zones ahead or delayed. This can lead to a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
Red light therapy has been proven by research done in 1980 to improve sleep quality and effectively treat jet lag. RLT signals your body to adjust to the new time zone, indirectly resetting the circadian rhythm. It does this by promoting the production of melatonin (The Sleep Hormone) and cortisol, which keeps you awake and alert.
Device of Choice
A portable device or a wearable RLT device will be ideal to use for a jet lag-like condition. Go for a combination of 660 nm (red light) for relaxation and 810 nm (near-infrared light) for tissue recovery.
Usage Guidelines
You should use the device in the morning or early afternoon of your destination’s time zone to simulate sunlight and reinforce your wake cycle. Expose yourself to the light for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 days a week, while using at an intensity of 40-60 mW/cm².
For a portable/wearable RLT device, you can place it over your forehead or scalp for the best results.
Expected Results
Jet lag is a temporary sleep issue, and you can expect your condition to improve within a week of using a red light therapy device.
5. Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which a person’s breathing is interrupted multiple times while sleeping. These interruptions are called apneas. They can last several seconds and occur dozens, or even hundreds, of times per night. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
When left untreated, sleep apnea can significantly lead to cardiovascular problems and reduced quality of life.
OSA primarily involves anatomical airway obstruction and impaired airway muscle tone. RLT cannot directly correct these issues. However, some people use photobiomodulation using red light therapy and low-level laser therapy to support overall sleep quality, relaxation, and inflammation reduction in surrounding tissues, which may make nighttime breathing feel more comfortable even though it does not treat the apnea itself.
Device of Choice
A panel-based RLT device or a targeted device like a wrap is ideal for sleep apnea. Use an RLT device that emits a combination of 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light) at an intensity of 100-150 mW/cm².
Usage Guidelines
Use it before bedtime for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a week for best results. Remember to lie down while the device is aimed at your neck and chest area. For targeted treatment, you can place a wrap or hold the device directly over the neck area.
Expected Results
With consistent use, RLT can help sleep apnea symptoms like breathing interruptions, reduced snoring, and poor sleep quality. But it is a supportive wellness tool only.
6. Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders refer to a variety of conditions that affect a person’s ability to sleep well on a daily basis. They include insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome (RLS), circadian rhythm disorders, etc.
In recent years, red light therapy has emerged as a drug-free solution to cater to the root causes of many sleep disorders.
According to an article in the National Library of Medicine (U.S.), "Light therapy leads to significant improvement in sleep and psychobehavioral symptoms and is associated with relatively fewer side effects in patients with Alzheimer's Disease."
Device of Choice
For sleep disorders, a panel-based device is highly effective. Make sure your panel-based RLT device emits a combination of 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light), which is ideal for deep tissue penetration and systemic benefits.
Usage Guidelines
It is recommended to use the RLT device 30-60 minutes before bedtime to promote relaxation and melatonin production.
Expose yourself to the red light for 10-20 minutes 3-4 times a week with a combination at an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm². Lie down and keep the panel 6-12 inches away from yourself while exposing your face, head, and neck area for better results.
Expected Results
With consistent use, RLT can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce the symptoms of sleep disorders. You can expect to see improvements in your sleep disorders within a month of regular use.
7. Sleep Quality
Sleep quality refers to how well you sleep throughout the night, including the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake feeling rested. Photobiomodulation like red light therapy (RLT) helps improve sleep quality by influencing biological processes connected to rest and recovery.
RLT improves sleep quality mainly through 3 reasons. They are listed below.
1. Melatonin Support
Red light and near-infrared light may help support the natural regulation of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep-wake cycles. Some early research suggests that RLT may increase nighttime melatonin levels, which can help signal the body to prepare for rest.
2. Circadian Rhythm Regulation
RLT may help reinforce healthy circadian rhythms, especially in individuals with irregular sleep schedules, shift workers, or jet lag, by promoting relaxation and reducing sleep-disrupting stress responses.
3. Calming the Nervous System
RLT has been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting relaxation, reducing stress hormones like cortisol, and promoting a sense of calm, contributing to deeper and more restorative sleep.
A study published in the Journal of Athletic Training by researchers Jiexiu Zhao et al. investigated the effects of red light therapy on sleep quality in elite athletes following training sessions. The study revealed that athletes who underwent full-body red light exposure 30 minutes before bedtime experienced improved sleep quality and a significant increase in serum melatonin levels.
Device of Choice
Panel-based, wearable, and portable devices emitting a combination of 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light) are ideal RLT devices for individuals looking to improve their sleep quality.
Usage Guidelines
Use the RLT device at an intensity of 20-60 mW/cm² for 30-60 minutes before bedtime for 10-20 minutes 3-4 times a week.
Expected Results
Many users report falling asleep faster, waking less frequently during the night, and feeling more refreshed in the morning, typically within 2-4 weeks, depending on lifestyle and sleep habits.
8. Sleep Latency
Sleep latency refers to the amount of time it takes to fall asleep after going to bed. A healthy sleep latency is typically between 10 and 20 minutes. However, many individuals take 30 minutes or more, which can contribute to increased anxiety, restlessness, and reduced sleep quality.
Red light therapy (RLT) helps reduce sleep latency by supporting biological mechanisms involved in sleep, including regulating circadian rhythm, promoting healthy melatonin production, and calming the nervous system.
Device of Choice
For improving sleep latency, panel-based or wearable RLT devices that emit both 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light) are ideal.
Usage Guidelines
Use a device at a low-to-moderate intensity of about 20-60 mW/cm². For best results, use the light an hour before bedtime for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times per week. Position it 6-12 inches from the face, head, or upper body.
Expected Results
With consistent use, many users report falling asleep faster, experiencing less pre-sleep anxiety, and improving overall sleep quality within 2-4 weeks, depending on individual factors and lifestyle habits.
9. REM Sleep
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is a critical stage of the sleep cycle characterized by vivid dreaming, rapid eye movements, and increased brain activity. It is essential for cognitive functions such as memory consolidation, learning, and emotional regulation. Disruptions in REM sleep can lead to poor cognitive performance, mood disorders, and overall reduced sleep quality.
Red or near-infrared light has great potential to improve general sleep quality, support relaxation, and modulate circadian rhythms or sleep onset. Some people use RLT as part of a sleep-supportive routine. For example, red light exposure in the evening as a calming, non-blue light alternative to screens may help reduce sleep latency or make falling asleep easier. This might improve overall subjective sleep satisfaction.
Device of Choice
Panel-based and wearable RLT devices that emit a combination of 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light) are ideal for improving REM sleep.
Usage Guidelines
For effective results, expose yourself to red light for 10-20 minutes, 2-5 times per week, using a device at an intensity of 20-100 mW/cm².
Maximize effectiveness by lying down and positioning the light panel 6-12 inches away from your body, ensuring your face, head, and neck are exposed to the light.
Expected Results
Regular use of RLT can lead to improved relaxation before bedtime, faster sleep onset (reduced sleep latency), reduced nighttime restlessness, less stress and anxiety, and milder improvements in sleep quality within 2 weeks.
10. Deep Sleep or Slow-Wave Sleep
Deep sleep, also known as Slow-Wave Sleep or Stage 3 Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep, is the most restorative phase of the sleep cycle. During deep sleep, the body repairs tissues, builds bone and muscle, strengthens the immune system, and consolidates memories. Adequate deep sleep is crucial for physical recovery, cognitive function, and overall health. Insufficient deep sleep can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, poor concentration, and an increased risk of chronic health conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Red light therapy has shown potential in improving overall quality of deep sleep through mechanisms such as supporting melatonin regulation, reducing stress and cortisol levels, improving blood circulation and relaxation, and helping maintain a stable circadian rhythm.
These effects may indirectly support deeper, more restorative sleep in individuals experiencing sleep disturbances.
Device of Choice
For deep sleep, panel-based and wearable RLT devices are the most effective.
Usage Guidelines
You should expose yourself to the red light for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 days a week. Remember to use a combination of 660 nm and 850 nm wavelengths at an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm². Lie down and position the light panel 6-12 inches away from your body, ensuring your face, neck, and torso are exposed to the light.
Expected Results
Consistent usage of RLT will improve physical recovery, increase energy levels, and help you improve deep sleep. You can see the visible improvements within 2-4 weeks of use.
11. Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Individuals with narcolepsy often experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), sudden sleep attacks, and, in some cases, cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle control).
Narcolepsy Type 1 is associated with a significant loss of the neurotransmitter hypocretin (orexin), which helps regulate wakefulness and REM sleep. Type 2 narcolepsy typically occurs without hypocretin deficiency and presents milder symptoms.
RLT may serve as a supportive, complementary tool for improving related symptoms, such as regulating circadian rhythms, improving overall sleep quality, reducing stress and nighttime disruptions, and supporting brain oxygenation and blood flow.
These effects may indirectly help daytime alertness, but RLT should not be considered a standalone therapy for narcolepsy.
Device of Choice
The best RLT devices for people with Narcolepsy are panel-based and devices with adjustable intensity and wavelength options for optimal neuroprotection.
Usage Guidelines
Expose yourself to the red light for 10-20 minutes 3-5 times a week with a combination of 660 nm and 850 nm wavelengths at an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm².
Lie down and keep the panel 6-12 inches away from yourself. Expose your face, head, and neck area for better results.
Expected Results
After using RLT, users feel more alert and less fatigued during the day along with fewer nighttime awakenings and sleep disruptions. With regular use, you will be able to see improvements in 2-4 weeks.
12. Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological sensory disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, usually due to uncomfortable sensations such as tingling, pulling, itching, or aching. Symptoms typically worsen during the evening or at night and while resting, making sleep difficult.
Almost 1 in 10 people are affected by restless legs syndrome at some point in their life. The underlying reasons for this syndrome can be attributed to dysfunction in the dopamine system in the brain, inflammation, depression, and poor sleep.
Red Light therapy is not the sole solution for this, but RLT has an impact on many of the underlying mechanisms of this syndrome. It impacts inflammation, depression, poor sleep, relaxation, sleep quality, etc.
Device of Choice
Infrared bulbs and panel-based devices are best suited for people with restless leg syndrome.
Usage Guidelines
You should expose yourself to red light for 10-20 minutes, 3-5 times per week, using wavelengths of 660 nm and 850 nm at an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm².
Lie down and keep the panel 6-12 inches away from yourself while exposing the impacted area.
Expected Results
With regular use, you will start seeing improvements within 2-4 weeks.
13. Sleep Paralysis
Sleep paralysis is a temporary condition in which a person is unable to move or speak while falling asleep or waking up. Episodes typically last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes and may be accompanied by vivid hallucinations, a sensation of pressure on the chest, or feelings of fear or being watched.
Sleep paralysis occurs when there is a disruption in the transition between Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep (where dreaming and muscle paralysis normally occur) and wakefulness. If someone becomes conscious before the body fully exits the REM stage, muscle atonia can persist briefly, causing the sensation of being awake but unable to move.
RLT is not a proven treatment for sleep paralysis, and research directly linking the two is currently limited. However, some people use RLT as a supportive wellness tool to help improve overall sleep quality, reduce stress, and support circadian rhythm regulation: factors that may indirectly reduce the frequency of sleep paralysis episodes in some individuals.
Device of Choice
It is recommended to use a wearable or a panel-based RLT device for the best results.
Usage Guidelines
Expose yourself to red light for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times per week. Use a combination of 660 nm and 850 nm wavelengths at an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm². Lie down and position the light panel 6-12 inches away, ensuring that your face, head, and neck area are properly exposed to the light.
Expected Results
Users experience fewer sleep paralysis episodes and deeper, uninterrupted REM sleep within 4-6 weeks of using a RLT device.
14. Kleine-Levin Syndrome
Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS), also known as "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome," is a rare neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive sleep (hypersomnia), cognitive disturbances, and behavioral changes. There is no established cure, and treatment remains largely supportive.
Red light therapy, while not proven to treat or prevent KLS, might be considered as a supportive wellness tool, particularly for sleep quality, relaxation, or symptom comfort during non-episode periods. Because RLT cannot reach deep brain structures comprehensively, it should not be regarded as a therapy for KLS itself.
Intranasal photobiomodulation, another form of photobiomodulation like RLT, at 633 nm with methylene blue has already shown great results.
Device of Choice
RLT devices, such as panel-based and wearables, would be best suited for conditions like KLS. The recommended wavelength and intensity are 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light).
Usage Guidelines
The user should use the RLT device 30 minutes before bedtime for 10-15 minutes 3-4 times every week.
Expected Results
Users following the above schedule should experience reduced frequency and duration of hypersomnia episodes, improved alertness and mental clarity, and increased energy levels throughout the day.
How Red Light Exposure can Fix Your Sleep?
Red light therapy fixes your sleep because the light doesn’t just reflect off your skin but penetrates into your cells, calming the nervous system, regulating circadian rhythm, supporting melatonin production, and providing relief from other ailments. Each of the scientific reasons is explained in detail below:
1. Calms the Nervous System
RLT activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" state. RLT potentially lowers stress hormones like cortisol and promotes relaxation. It helps calm the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. This is its most direct and significant mechanism for improving sleep.
2. Regulates Circadian Rhythm
RLT mimics natural light patterns, helping to reset your internal body clock (circadian rhythm).
Exposure to red light in the evening signals to your brain that it’s time to wind down, similar to the natural transition from daylight to darkness. This helps align your sleep-wake cycle with your environment.
Improved circadian rhythm regulation leads to better sleep timing and quality.
3. Supports Melatonin Production
Red light wavelengths (around 610 and 660 nm) do not suppress melatonin secretion like blue light (around 430 nm) does. RLT stimulates the pineal gland to produce melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles.
Red and near-infrared light wavelengths (660 nm and 850 nm) penetrate the skin and reach the mitochondria in cells, enhancing cellular energy (ATP) production. This process signals the brain to produce melatonin, especially when used in the evening or before bedtime.
Increased melatonin levels help you fall asleep faster and maintain a more consistent sleep cycle.
4. Improves Underlying Conditions
Poor sleep is often a symptom of other issues. By reducing pain (e.g., from arthritis), accelerating muscle recovery, and lowering systemic inflammation, RLT removes common barriers to restful sleep. A body in less pain and with less inflammation sleeps better.
Does Red Light Therapy Really Help with Sleep?
Yes, red light therapy helps improve sleep. Customers report falling asleep faster, sleeping more deeply, and waking up feeling more refreshed.
How to Use Red Light Therapy for Better Sleep?
To use red light therapy correctly for better sleep, you must choose the right device, use it at ideal times, and follow the right duration and frequency for sessions. Each step is further explained below.
1. Choose the Right Device
There are different RLT devices available in the market with different characteristics. To choose the right device, you must select the appropriate device type, wavelength, and intensity range specific to your sleep conditions. Here’s a concise guide to make the right choice.
Device Types
Choose any of the following device types:
- Panel-Based Devices: Ideal for full-body treatment. Examples include the Joovv Elite and Mito Red Light Mito Pro.
- Wearable Devices: Great for targeted brain stimulation. Examples include the Vielight Neuro Gamma or Alpha.
- Portable Devices: Perfect for travel or convenience. Examples include the Thor Photobiomodulation Device.
Wavelengths
Choose a device that emits a combination of 660 nm (red light) and 850 nm (near-infrared light). These wavelengths are ideal for promoting melatonin production, reducing inflammation, and improving cellular repair, which helps with better sleep.
Intensity
Look for a device with an intensity of 50-100 mW/cm² for optimal results.
2. Use It at Right Times
The most effective time to use RLT is 30-60 minutes before bedtime. This helps stimulate melatonin production and signals to your body that it’s time to wind down.
However, if you’re dealing with circadian rhythm disorders like delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) or jet lag, use RLT in the morning or early afternoon to help reset your internal clock.
Note: Use RLT at the same time each day to reinforce your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
3. Follow the Right Session Duration and Frequency
The efficacy of RLT largely depends on consistently following the recommended duration, frequency, and positioning the device properly. It is further explained below:
Duration
Expose yourself to red light for 10-20 minutes per session. This is enough time to stimulate cellular activity without overexposure.
Frequency
Use RLT 3-4 times per week for consistent benefits. Daily use is also safe and can accelerate results.
Positioning
Sit or lie down 12-24 inches away from the light panel, ensuring your face, neck, and torso are exposed. For wearable devices, place them on your forehead or scalp.
Note: These instructions are provided to help you better understand how to use the RLT. Please consult a doctor before purchasing an RLT device for home use, and follow the instructions that come with it.
How Long before Bed should I use Red Light Therapy?
You should use red light therapy 30-60 minutes before bedtime at 660-850 nm of red light and near-infrared light, respectively. The intensity of the device should be 20-50mW/cm² for the face and beyond 60mW/cm² for the remaining body.
Are there any Side Effects of Using Red Light for Sleep?
No, red light therapy is considered safe and does not have any side effects. It does not contain UV radiation and is non-invasive. However, very few people experience side effects such as eye strain, dizziness, or headache due to poor eye protection gear or increased blood circulation. If any individual uses photosensitizing medicine, they may experience reactions.
What Other Conditions can Red Light Therapy Treat?
Red Light therapy treats many other conditions, such as the following:
- Skin concerns (wrinkles and fine lines, acne, scarring, wound healing, psoriasis, eczema, sun damage, rosacea)
- Muscle and joint pain (arthritis, tendinopathy like tennis elbow and achilles tendinitis, back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis)
- Hair loss (male and female pattern baldness)
- Brain health issues (traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, cognitive decline, dementia, stroke recovery, depression, and anxiety)
- Oral health problems (mucositis or painful mouth sores, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), post-dental surgery healing)
- Thyroid health concerns (specifically Hashimoto's Thyroiditis)
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Lymphedema
