ABOUT US
At LJUS Studios our devices use specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (NIR) to energize and heal the body at a cellular level. This process is safe, non-invasive, and free of UV radiation, delivering therapeutic light similar to the healthiest rays of natural sunlight. The result is a boost in cellular function that promotes rejuvenation, recovery, and overall wellness.
How Red & Near-Infrared Light Works
Red and near-infrared (NIR) light are able to penetrate into the skin and tissues to stimulate cells directly. Red light (visible red wavelengths around 600-670 nm) primarily targets surface skin cells, while near-infrared light (invisible wavelengths around 800-850 nm) travels deeper into muscles, joints, and other tissues. Despite their depth differences, both wavelengths work in harmony to charge up your cells’ energy centers and ignite biological processes. It’s not magic, it’s simply light fueling your body’s natural mechanisms:
-
Mitochondrial Activation: Inside each cell, tiny organelles called mitochondria (the cell’s “powerhouses”) absorb these light photons. This light energy triggers the mitochondria to produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that powers virtually all cellular activity. With red and NIR light, we are essentially recharging your cells’ batteries so they can work at full capacity.
-
Safe Cellular Stimulation: Unlike high-intensity lasers or UV light, our therapeutic LEDs stimulate cells without causing any damage. There is no burning or harmful radiation, only gentle nourishing light that kickstarts beneficial reactions in the skin and deep tissues.
Increased Cellular Energy (ATP Production)
When your cells have more ATP, they have more fuel to repair, regenerate, and protect themselves. By boosting cellular energy production, LJUS light therapy accelerates a host of positive biological responses:
-
Faster Tissue Repair: Cells with abundant energy can speed up tissue growth and repair. This means quicker healing of minor injuries, improved muscle recovery after workouts, and more efficient replacement of old or damaged cells.
-
Enhanced Cell Turnover: Energized cells replicate and build new tissue faster. Skin cells, for example, renew more readily, contributing to a fresher complexion and even skin tone.
-
Resilience to Stress: With more ATP available, cells can maintain their health under stress. They activate internal defense systems and balance oxidative factors, which helps protect against daily environmental damage.
Our team at LJUS Studios calibrated our devices to maximize this cellular energy boost. By targeting the optimal red and NIR wavelengths, we ensure your mitochondria get exactly the kind of light they respond to best, supercharging your cells naturally.
Collagen Stimulation & Skin Health
One of the most visible benefits of red light therapy is its effect on the skin. Our red light penetrates into the upper dermis where it activates fibroblast cells, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm, plump, and youthful:
-
Increased Collagen Production: With light stimulation, fibroblasts ramp up collagen and elastin synthesis. This leads to stronger, more elastic skin that can better maintain its shape. Over time, higher collagen levels reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture.
-
Wound Healing & Scarring: Collagen is crucial for tissue repair. By boosting collagen production, red light therapy helps accelerate wound healing and can even soften the appearance of scars or stretch marks. Your skin essentially has more of the building blocks it needs to regenerate itself.
-
Healthy Glow: As collagen networks rebuild and blood circulation improves (more on circulation below), skin gains a natural radiance. Many users notice their complexion becoming clearer and more vibrant, with reductions in redness or blotchiness as inflammation subsides.
LJUS Studios understands the science of skincare at the cellular level. We’ve designed our light therapy to support your skin’s innate ability to rejuvenate itself, all through the gentle power of light, not harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.
Reducing Inflammation & Pain
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to stress or injury, but excessive or chronic inflammation can cause pain and hamper healing. Red and near-infrared light have a profound anti-inflammatory effect on cells and tissues, helping your body rebalance and recover more quickly:
-
Modulating Inflammatory Signals: Light therapy influences cellular signaling pathways, reducing the release of pro-inflammatory molecules. Essentially, it calms overactive inflammatory responses, which helps decrease redness, swelling, and discomfort in both superficial skin and deeper tissues.
-
Natural Pain Relief: By reducing inflammation and swelling, light therapy provides drug-free pain relief for sore muscles and stiff joints. Users often report less joint discomfort or muscle soreness after sessions, as the light eases tension and promotes healing in those areas.
-
Balanced Immune Response: Excess inflammation can slow down recovery. By dialing down that inflammatory process, red/NIR light allows the immune system to focus on repairing tissue damage without the obstacle of extreme swelling or pain. The result is often faster recovery from workouts, injuries, or skin flare-ups.
All of these effects come from within, we are simply prompting the body’s own anti-inflammatory defenses. Our experts have kept up with clinical findings on phototherapy’s role in inflammation, and have incorporated those insights so our devices deliver just the right dose of light to encourage relief and recovery.
Improving Circulation & Oxygenation
Healthy blood flow is critical for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and carrying away waste products. Near-infrared light, in particular, can improve microcirculation in the treated areas:
-
Vasodilation (Widening Blood Vessels): NIR light triggers the release of nitric oxide, a molecule that signals blood vessels to relax and widen. This vasodilation effect increases blood flow in local tissues. With better circulation, tissues receive more oxygen and vital nutrients exactly where they’re needed.
-
Enhanced Recovery: Improved circulation accelerates the removal of metabolic waste (such as lactic acid in muscles), which means faster recovery after exercise or physical exertion. Muscles and joints get the resources to rebuild, and soreness is reduced.
-
Supporting All Systems: When circulation is boosted, every organ and muscle in that region benefits. For example, in the skin, more blood flow means a rosy, nourished complexion and stronger skin integrity. In muscles, it means more fuel for strength and endurance. Good circulation also helps with lymphatic drainage, further reducing swelling and contributing to detoxification of cells.
Our technology at LJUS Studios is engineered to gently stimulate blood flow without any heating or discomfort (unlike a sauna or intense exercise). You simply bask in the light, and your body responds by optimizing its own circulation. This supports not just one area, but your overall vitality and wellness.
To Summarise
Everything we share about red and near-infrared light is born from the science of phototherapy. Our experts have painstakingly selected clinically effective wavelengths and built devices that deliver them at optimal power densities for real results.
In summary, LJUS red light therapy gently illuminates your body with precisely the right light to activate cellular energy, boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. All of these effects work together to support your body’s natural ability to heal and rejuvenate itself.
