Healing at the Cellular Level
Red light therapy, sometimes called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, is gaining attention for its ability to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. While many spas now advertise red light treatments, the difference at Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity is physician oversight.
At our Wilmington clinic, board-certified physician Dr. David M. Creech incorporates red light therapy into personalized care plans. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic inflammation, or looking to improve performance, this non-invasive treatment can complement our other biohacking therapies.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and interact with cells. This stimulates mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of cells, to produce more energy (ATP). As a result, tissues repair more efficiently, inflammation decreases, and circulation improves.
Unlike UV light, red light does not damage skin or increase cancer risk. Instead, it provides a safe, therapeutic spectrum of light that supports natural healing.
Benefits You Can Experience
Regular sessions may lead to improvements such as:
- Faster recovery after workouts or injuries
- Reduced inflammation in muscles and joints
- Healthier-looking skin with fewer signs of aging
- Better wound healing and scar appearance
- Enhanced energy and mental clarity
- More balanced sleep-wake cycles
These benefits make red light therapy appealing to both athletes and patients with chronic conditions.
Who Can Benefit From Red Light Therapy?
This therapy may be appropriate if you:
- Struggle with chronic joint or muscle pain
- Want faster recovery between training sessions
- Experience skin concerns such as fine lines or scarring
- Live with inflammatory or autoimmune conditions
- Have fatigue or sleep issues linked to circadian rhythm disruption
Because it is non-invasive and drug-free, red light therapy is safe for a wide range of patients.
What to Expect at Our Wilmington Clinic
Red light therapy sessions involve sitting or standing in front of a panel of therapeutic lights for a set period of time. Treatment is painless, and most patients find it relaxing.
At Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity, Dr. Creech evaluates your goals and determines how often sessions should occur. For some patients, red light is integrated with recovery tools such as PEMF or sauna therapy for enhanced results.
Why Choose Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity?
While red light devices are increasingly available, professional guidance ensures safe and effective use. At our Wilmington clinic, Dr. Creech’s board certification and medical expertise set a higher standard. He integrates red light therapy strategically into care plans, rather than offering it as a stand-alone service without context.
Patients choose Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity because they want therapies that are backed by science and physician oversight.
