Is RLT Just Another Trend?
If you’re anything like me, I tend to pump the breaks HARD when I see something “new” on the market. I often think it’s just another ploy marketers are using to try and convince me to buy something, with no lasting value.
That’s what I thought when it came to red light therapy; until I did the research. There are several universities, not just medical teams and facilities, who are studying the effects of red light therapy. In fact, the Clemson University football team is even using it to enhance performance, decrease recovery time, and to alleviate pain and inflammation. The San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, the Under Armour Performance Team, USA Swimming National Team, and US Olympians have, or are currently, using RLT.
HISTORY OF RLT
It may seem like it’s this new-found technology, but it actually was first used in medicine in 1893 to treat smallpox, and then 2 years later, to treat lupus! Then in 1993, believe it or not, NASA was using it to try and grow plants, and found that it actually worked! And this is where it gets interesting and almost comical: the researchers who were exposed to the intense RLT while doing the plant experiment, noticed shocking healing of their own skin wounds. Who would’ve thought? Maybe there was something to this RLT?
Then in 2001, as this incidental finding opened NASA’s eyes to the possibilities of RLT, US Navy SEALS then used it and found that their wounds healed 40% faster. Say wha?
Since then, over the past 20 years, studies have shown that RLT improves sleep, cognitive function, inflammation, and a whole slew of issues:
BENEFITS:
✔️Skin – acne, eczema, wrinkles, fine lines, aging
✔️Pain
✔️Inflammation
✔️Blood Circulation
✔️Muscle Repair
✔️Hair Growth
✔️Skin Texture – stretch marks
✔️Scarring
✔️Sleep
✔️Wound Healing
✔️And More…
So why the Lumebox over other RLT devices?
Many places like Amazon and Temu offer cheaper options, so what’s the difference? Here are some things to consider:
✅ IRRADIANCE – how much energy is being delivered through the RL device. The LUMEBOX delivers 125 mW/cm2 for red light therapy and 140 mW/cm2 for near infrared therapy. It also is proven to have 80% MORE irradiance than other leading brands.
✅ WAVELENGTH – this narrow spectrum of light for RLT is best at 600-900 nm. The LUMEBOX device delivers LED red light at 660 nm and NIR at 850nm, which is right in the realm of where it should be for BEST results.
✅ SAFETY & CERTIFICATIONS – the LUMEBOX is FDA approved, was designed by a MD, is independently tested, and even posts all their testings and certifications on their websites. It’s legit, unlike other devices on the market.
✅ EASE – the LUMEBOX has a 25% greater coverage than other hand-held devices. In other words, you get what you pay for! It has a handle for propping it up, starts with the push of a button, has a 6 and 12 minute timer, and the charge lasts for multiple uses. I even take mine in the car with me to use while waiting for our daughter in the pick-up line!
✅ COST – Click the link in my bio and you can get the Lumebox for ONLY $369 (regularly $629). It may seem like a lot of money upfront, but when you start to do research on FDA approved, both red light and NIR options, portability, safety and certified devices, it actually is very reasonably priced.

If you’re wondering if it’s for you, send me an email, message, or do your research on the specific thing you are struggling with. I think you’ll be surprised at what you find! When I started to do my own research on RLT for cancer patients, it was eye-opening and to this day, I’m so humbled and grateful for my friend who introduced it to me!
