Whether it’s red, blue, or infrared light, this biohack is an effective pro-aging therapy
Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, is loved by biohackers for its impressive pro-aging benefits. It heals skin, reduces inflammation, improves sleep, and even helps enhance cognitive functions.
Red light is a type of light that falls within the visible light spectrum detectable by the human eye. It has the longest wavelength (620 to 750 nm) and the lowest amount of energy of visible light. Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment using red light to promote skin healing and a wide range of other health and longevity benefits.1 It works in part by increasing energy (ATP) production in the mitochondria, which enhances the health of the cells and tissues.2 Mitochondrial function tends to decrease across all tissues over time, so it’s important to consider that as we age.3 Red light can also reduce oxidative stress which occurs with aging.1
Red light can penetrate the skin and stimulate regenerative processes within skin cells.4 As we age, the collagen and elastin levels in our skin begin to decline, resulting in wrinkles and sagging. Red light therapy increases collagen and elastin production, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.4 Additionally, red light has been shown to reduce inflammation in the skin, which can also contribute to skin aging.5 It boosts blood flow which helps deliver important nutrients to support overall skin health and function. Red light therapy can even speed up the healing process of skin wounds.6
Red light is the gift that just keeps on giving. In addition to everything listed above, it also has the power to stimulate regeneration in brain tissue and possibly counteract the loss of cognitive function that occurs with age. Red light therapy (applied through the nostrils) was shown to improve sleep quality and cognitive performance in people with cognitive decline.7 It can also reduce musculoskeletal pain and facilitate healing from injury.8
Other health and longevity benefits of red light therapy include:
Red light is a powerful biohacking tool offering multiple longevity benefits including improved mitochondrial health, skin rejuvenation, and reduced inflammation and oxidative stress.

Blue light, whether from the early morning sunshine or a manmade screen, is the most powerful environmental cue for your circadian rhythm. Getting enough in the morning and blocking it at night helps keep your energy levels consistent and healthy.
Blue light is a type of light that falls within the visible light spectrum detectable by the human eye. It has the shortest wavelength and highest energy of visible light. You’re exposed to blue light every day. The most abundant source of blue light is the sun, but your tablet, smartphone, laptop, and TV also emit significant levels of it. Blue light can help improve energy, mood, memory, and alertness.1,2,3 However, too much blue light or exposure to it at the wrong times can be harmful to your eyes, sleep, and overall health, wellness, and longevity.4
Blue light is important for longevity due to the role it plays in relation to the circadian rhythm, your internal clock responsible for regulating your sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, appetite, hormones, and other important functions.5 Your circadian rhythm is controlled by the amount and type of light you’re exposed to, with blue light having the most prominent influence.6 The importance of maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm is evidenced through night shift workers who are known to have increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, and even death.7
Getting blue light exposure in the morning, preferably from sunlight, is important for setting your circadian rhythm. This suppresses the release of melatonin, keeping you energized and alert throughout the day. Start with your morning dose and then make sure to keep getting plenty of blue light exposure during the day to keep your internal clock in sync.6
Blue light is a powerful suppressor of melatonin, which is needed for deep, restorative sleep.8 It’s therefore important to reduce your nighttime blue light exposure as much as you can. There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. First off, you can wear blue light-blocking sunglasses for a couple of hours before you go to bed. You can also install programs on your computer and tablets that will reduce the amount of blue light being emitted from your monitor. Use the nighttime mode on your phone to reduce brightness and the blue light levels.
Blue light can be a key player in your health and longevity. By biohacking the timing and amount of blue light exposure, you can support your overall health and reduce your risk of developing various age-related diseases.
“When you get more sunlight exposure during the day, and less light exposure at night, you’re on your way to a magic sleep formula.”

Infrared light, while invisible to the human eye, provides a wide range of visible pro-aging benefits. Biohackers use near infrared or mid- to far-infrared treatments to improve skin health, detoxify, and enhance mitochondrial efficiency. Embrace the light!
Infrared light is a form of light that has a longer wavelength than red light and is invisible to the human eye. There are three types of infrared light, near, mid, and far, and research has revealed multiple health and longevity benefits related to each.
Near-infrared (NIR) light is the shortest infrared wavelength. It helps rejuvenate the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, accelerates wound healing, and improves certain skin disorders such as acne and alopecia.1 It works by increasing energy production in mitochondria which reduces oxidative stress and increases the production of growth factors that help regenerate new skin.2 NIR light therapy can be administered via laser (a concentrated beam of light) or LEDs directly pointed at the skin to help rejuvenate it.3 Some devices also deliver NIR to the brain through the nostrils, which may aid with cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.4
Mid-infrared (MIR) and far infrared (FIR) are longer wavelengths capable of penetrating the body on a much deeper level than NIR, leading to the rejuvenation of the tissue underneath the skin.3 This helps improve muscle recovery and reduce pain.5 MIR and FIR lights are often used in infrared saunas, where they provide benefits way beyond heat exposure. Infrared saunas have been shown to help people with heart disease by stimulating the release of nitric oxide, a compound that dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow.6 Infrared saunas may also be able to improve many other chronic diseases and conditions including diabetes, inflammation, and chronic pain,7
Infrared light is a powerful tool that can be used by biohackers to improve mitochondrial function, regenerate tissues, and increase blood flow, thus supporting cellular energy production, overall health, and longevity.
