Living with kidney disease often means managing fatigue, inflamación, and reduced quality of life. Red light therapy is increasingly used as a non-invasive wellness modality that may support comfort and recovery when used responsibly.
Potential Supportive Benefits

These benefits may be indirectly helpful for people managing chronic kidney-related symptoms.

- Red light therapy should never replace dialysis, medicamento, or medical supervision
- Consultation with a healthcare provider is strongly recommended
- Extra caution is needed for those with:
- Advanced CKD
- Implanted medical devices
- Photosensitivity conditions
- Active infections or fever
Sessions should follow conservative guidelines:
- Short session duration
- Moderate frequency
- Avoid direct application over sensitive or medically compromised areas unless approved by a physician
