LED Photo Therapy Q & A
Red light at 633nm stimulates an enzyme in your skin’s mitochondria called Cytochrome C Oxidase. This boosts ATP (cell energy) production, increasing collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, and reducing inflammation. It’s called Photobiomodulation—using light to trigger healing responses in your cells.
