From athletes to office workers, from people managing chronic pain to those simply wanting to look and feel younger, the benefits of photobiomodulation are remarkably broad. Here's a breakdown of who benefits most. ## People Managing Minor Chronic Pain LightLab's system is designed to support the body's natural recovery and wellness. Research suggests red and near-infrared light may support the body's natural anti-inflammatory response and tissue repair. Regular sessions may complement other wellness approaches. Consult your physician for diagnosed conditions. - Minor chronic back and neck discomfort - Minor joint inflammation and arthritis discomfort - Muscle tension and spasms - Post-workout soreness - General wellness support ## Athletes and Active Individuals Recovery is where performance is built. LightLab's system is designed to support muscle recovery. Research suggests near-infrared light may support muscle repair and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Athletes in Des Moines and across Iowa are using LightLab's Recovery PTx™ to support their training and wellness goals. Individual results vary. ![Who Should Use Red Light Therapy?](https://d2xsxph8kpxj0f.cloudfront.net/310519663356698318/SNYZvx8cbYZ7nBkrEeurDk/team-duo-pose_384dda75.webp) ## People Focused on Skin Health Research suggests red light at 620-670nm may support collagen and elastin production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.
