When it comes to cancer care, every supportive treatment must be carefully evaluated for both 안전 그리고 effectiveness.
빨간불 치료 (RLT)—also known as 저수준 레이저 요법 (LLLT) 또는 광 보조 조절 (PBM)—is not a cancer treatment, but growing evidence shows it may help manage some side effects of cancer and its therapies, ~와 같은 통증, 피로, oral mucositis, and skin irritation.
At 메리칸, we emphasize the 안전한, 비 침습적, and supportive applications of red light therapy in improving quality of life for patients undergoing medical treatment.
What Red Light Therapy Does (and Does Not Do)
Red light therapy works by exposing the body to specific low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (630–850 nm). These wavelengths penetrate tissues to stimulate cellular energy (ATP), 염증을 감소, 그리고 치유 촉진.
하지만, RLT does not destroy cancer cells or replace chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. 대신에, it may support the body’s natural recovery processes 그리고 relieve certain treatment-related side effects when used under medical supervision.
Potential Benefits for Cancer Patients
1. Relief from Oral Mucositis
One of the most studied uses of red light therapy in oncology is for oral mucositis, a painful inflammation and ulceration of the mouth caused by chemotherapy or radiation.
Clinical trials have shown that red and near-infrared light can 염증을 감소, speed up tissue repair, 그리고 ease pain, improving the ability to eat and speak comfortably.
2. Pain and Inflammation Reduction
RLT helps modulate inflammatory cytokines 그리고 increase local blood circulation, which can help ease 관절통, nerve discomfort, or muscle stiffness experienced by some cancer patients.
3. Enhanced Wound Healing
After surgery or radiation therapy, the body’s healing process can be slow. Red light therapy supports cell regeneration and collagen production, promoting faster recovery 그리고 less scarring.
4. Improved Energy and Well-being
Some studies suggest that RLT can enhance mitochondrial activity, which may help reduce fatigue and improve overall vitality in patients recovering from intensive treatments.
What the Science Says
- 그만큼 Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) 그리고 International Society of Oral Oncology (ISOO) have recommended photobiomodulation therapy as a supportive treatment for oral mucositis.
- Research published in Supportive Care in Cancer 그리고 Lasers in Medical Science shows that low-level light therapy can shorten healing time 그리고 improve comfort in cancer therapy patients.
These studies confirm that RLT is beneficial as a supportive therapy, not as a cancer cure.
안전 고려 사항
Red light therapy is 비 침습적, drug-free, 그리고 does not contain UV radiation. 하지만, cancer patients should always consult their oncologist before starting any light-based therapy.
In some cases, RLT should not be used directly over active tumors or during active radiation unless cleared by a medical professional.
⚠️ MERICAN emphasizes that all red light therapy applications for cancer patients should be guided by medical advice. It is designed to support recovery, not to replace professional cancer treatment.
MERICAN’s Role in Supportive Wellness

결론
그래서, is red light therapy good for cancer patients?
It can be—as a supportive and restorative therapy, not as a treatment for cancer itself.
When used properly and under medical supervision, red light therapy may ease pain, speed healing, and enhance well-being during or after cancer care.
At 메리칸, we are committed to providing 안전한, science-backed red light technology that supports healing, comfort, and quality of life for all users.
