From beds to LED masks: Is red light therapy the wellness wonder it claims to be?

Red light therapy is being marketed as a cure-all for everything from anti-aging to muscle recovery, with devices ranging from £100 LED masks to £3,000 therapy beds. While experts acknowledge some promising research, they caution that many commercial devices lack the proper wavelengths, power, or clinical evidence to deliver results. The therapy uses wavelengths between 630-660 nanometres that penetrate skin to target mitochondria, potentially aiding cell repair, though effectiveness varies by skin type, device quality, and individual factors.
