Red light therapy begins when tissues and cells of the body are exposed to red or near-infrared light, which causes the release of ATP nitric oxide[6]. This is called photobiostimulation [7]. Cellular photoactivation can be achieved by using photobiomodulaton without overheating or damaging the body[8].
The effects of phototherapy can raise cells' healing potential [9].
