8. Effects on Cells

The effectiveness of red light therapy results from how it impacts cells, which includes reducing inflammation, cytoprotection against toxicity, and proliferation of multiple cells to encourage growth and healing. Red light therapy also affects the synthesis of proteins like collagen and those found in connective tissue, cartilage, and bone. Stem cells are sensitive to red light therapy and respond with increased migration, differentiation, and viability.
