赤色光療法 (RLT) is widely used for skin rejuvenation, 痛みの緩和, そして全体的なウェルネス. しかし, some people worry: can red light therapy cause cancer or promote the growth of cancer cells? This article explores the science behind RLT and its safety profile.
レッドライトセラピーの仕組み
赤色光療法は使用します 赤の特定の波長 (600–700 nm) そして、近赤外 (800–1000 nm) ライト to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular energy (ATP生産). This can:
- Promote tissue repair and healing
- 炎症を軽減します
- Support collagen production
重要なことです, RLT does not involve UV radiation, which is the type of light linked to DNA damage and skin cancer.
Does Red Light Therapy Cause Cancer?
What the Research Shows
- Studies indicate that red and near-infrared light do not cause DNA mutations that lead to cancer.
- RLT stimulates healthy cell function rather than causing uncontrolled cell growth.
- Research in clinical and lab settings has not found evidence that RLT promotes tumor growth in healthy tissues.
When to Exercise Caution

- Avoid overexposure: Follow manufacturer guidelines for duration and distance.
- Consult a doctor if you have a history of cancer or are undergoing treatment.
- Do not replace medical treatments for serious conditions.
