The Science in 4 Simple Steps

Red light therapy works at the cellular level to optimize your body's natural healing and rejuvenation processes.

1

Light Absorption

Red and near-infrared wavelengths (660nm and 850nm) penetrate skin, reaching cells and mitochondria where energy is produced.

2

Cellular Energy Boost

Absorbed light stimulates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, providing cells with the energy they need to repair, regenerate, and function optimally.

3

Collagen Activation

Increased cellular energy enhances fibroblast activity, dramatically boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, younger-looking skin.

4

Natural Healing

Improved blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to tissues while reducing inflammation, accelerating recovery from exercise, injury, or aging.

Therapeutic Wavelengths Explained

Not all light is created equal. Olara devices use clinically-proven wavelengths that deliver specific therapeutic benefits.

Red Light
630–660nm wavelength
Skin Surface Benefits: Penetrates 8-10mm into skin to boost collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and accelerate wound healing. Ideal for facial rejuvenation and anti-aging.
Near-Infrared Light
810–850nm wavelength
Deep Tissue Healing: Penetrates 30-40mm to reach muscles, joints, and organs. Reduces inflammation, accelerates muscle recovery, promotes circulation, and supports hair follicle health. Essential for athletic recovery and pain relief.
Multi-Wavelength Therapy
8 Therapeutic Colors (Face Mask)
Comprehensive Treatment: Our Face & Neck Mask combines 8 different wavelengths (red, blue, green, yellow, cyan, purple, white, infrared) for targeted treatment of multiple skin concerns simultaneously.

What Red Light Therapy Can Do for You

From hair restoration to pain relief, red light therapy addresses multiple wellness concerns naturally and non-invasively.

Hair Regrowth: Stimulates dormant follicles and increases hair density in pattern baldness
Wrinkle Reduction: Boosts collagen to visibly reduce fine lines and improve elasticity
Faster Recovery: Accelerates muscle repair and reduces post-workout soreness
Pain Relief: Reduces inflammation and chronic pain in joints, back, and muscles
Skin Tone: Evens complexion, reduces redness, and minimizes age spots
Wound Healing: Speeds up tissue repair and reduces scarring

Common Questions

Is red light therapy safe?
Yes. Red light therapy is non-invasive, painless, and has no known side effects when used as directed. Unlike UV light, red and near-infrared wavelengths don't damage skin. It's been used safely in clinical settings for decades and is FDA-cleared for various therapeutic applications.
How long until I see results?
Most users notice improvements within 4-6 weeks of consistent use (3-5 sessions per week). Hair regrowth typically takes 8-12 weeks as follicles operate on growth cycles. Skin improvements like texture and tone often appear sooner, around 2-4 weeks. Patience and consistency are key.
How is this different from tanning beds or sunlight?
Completely different. Tanning beds use harmful UV radiation that damages skin DNA and causes premature aging. Red light therapy uses specific therapeutic wavelengths (660nm and 850nm) that energize cells without any UV exposure. No heat, no damage, just cellular benefits.
Can I use red light therapy with other treatments?
Yes. Red light therapy complements most skincare routines, hair loss treatments, and recovery protocols. Many users combine it with topical serums (apply after RLT session), physical therapy, or even prescription treatments. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific medical concerns.
