Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) is sometimes used as a complementary approach to weight-loss plans. While it’s not a standalone fat-loss solution, research suggests several potential supportive benefits:
May reduce fat cell size:
Certain wavelengths of red and near-infrared light can temporarily open pores in fat cells, allowing lipids to be released more easily. This can support reductions in body measurements when combined with diet and exercise.
Improved metabolism and cellular energy:
Red light stimulates mitochondria, increasing ATP production. Better cellular energy may enhance overall metabolic function and support weight-management efforts.
Reduced inflammation:
Lower inflammation can make it easier for the body to recover from exercise and maintain hormonal balance related to hunger, fat storage, and energy use.
Enhanced exercise performance and recovery:
By improving circulation and reducing muscle soreness, red light therapy may help people exercise more effectively and consistently.
Potential support for skin tightening:
After weight loss, red light may improve collagen production, helping skin look firmer in areas where fat has been reduced.
