Transform Your Mood and Mental Clarity with Red Light Therapy...
Science has proven that specific light wavelengths trigger your body's own regenerative mechanisms, enhancingcollagen production by up to 200%.
Why Redviva is recommended by mental health professionals:
✅ Naturally elevates mood without medication
✅ Modulates neurotransmitter activity and stress hormone levels
✅ Enhances neuroplasticity and cognitive performance
Unlock Your Mental Clarity
Our specific wavelengths stimulate cellular metabolism in the brain, increasing serotonin and dopamine production by up to 25%. These crucial neurotransmitters are directly responsible for mood regulation, motivation, and emotional resilience, creating natural mood elevationandimproved emotional stability without medication side effects.
Red and near-infrared light stimulate the mitochondria your cells’ energy centres to produce up to 55% more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that powers everything from brain function to hormonal balance. This surge in cellular energy helps stabilise mood, sharpen focus, and support resilience to emotional stress.
Red and near-infrared light penetrate the skull to enhance mitochondrial function by up to 40% in brain cells. This cellular energy boost provides immediate improvements in mental clarity and sustained cognitive performance throughout the day, addressing the mental fatigue and brain fog that often accompany mood disorders.
How Redviva Red Light
Therapy Works for
Mental Health
Reaches Deep Brain Structures
Unlike supplements or surface-level interventions, Redviva red and near-infrared light penetrates up to 40mm into the skull, reaching critical brain regions involved in mood regulation—such as the prefrontal cortex and limbic system.
The clinically studied 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm near-infrared wavelengths in Redviva panels are precisely calibrated to access these deeper neural structures, supporting emotional balance, cognitive clarity, and neurological resilience at the source.

Enhances Neural Energy Systems
When therapeutic light wavelengths reach your brain cells, they interact with cytochrome c oxidase—a critical component in neural energy production.
This stimulates increased ATP synthesis, revitalising brain cells that may be underperforming in mood disorders and cognitive challenges, essentially "reactivating" neural networks.
Optimises Neurotransmitter Balance
Energised brain cells naturally produce more balanced levels of key neurotransmitters. Serotonin and dopamine production improves, stress hormone pathways normalise, and neural communication becomes more efficient—all without the dependency or side effects associated with pharmaceutical interventions.
Creates Sustainable Mood Improvement
Unlike quick-fix approaches that temporarily alter brain chemistry, red light therapy supports long-term neural health and resilience.
Consistent sessions establish new baseline functionality in neural pathways and cellular metabolism, leading to naturally stabilised mood patterns and improved cognitive performance that progressively strengthens with ongoing use.
What else does the science say?
The neurological benefits of red light therapy continue to expand through groundbreaking research. Clinical studies show these specific wavelengths penetrate the skull to enhance brain cell metabolism, increase cerebral blood flow, and optimise neurotransmitter balance. Researchers have documented improvements in symptoms of seasonal affective disorder, anxiety, and cognitive performance following consistent use. This growing evidence explains why mental health professionals increasingly recommend professional-grade red light therapy as a natural approach to mood regulation and cognitive support.
Clinical Study: Near-Infrared Light Achieves Rapid Mood Remission in Depression& Anxiety
In a pioneering pilot study by Schiffer et al (2009), a single 4-minute transcranial 810 nm near-infrared light treatment (open-label) produced marked mood improvements in 10 patients with major depression and anxiety. Two weeks after treatment, 60% of participants were in remission from depression and 70% in remission from anxiety, based on standard clinical scales. Even at four weeks post-treatment, depression and anxiety scores remained significantly improved over baseline (though the peak effect was at 2 weeks). Notably, no side effects were reported. This dramatic benefit was achieved using NIR wavelengths like those in Redviva panels.
Clinical Study: NIR Light Significantly Reduces Anxiety & Depression in 3-Month RCT
In a recent double-blind RCT by Helali et al (2025), 35 patients on methadone therapy received 810 nm near-infrared transcranial LED therapy or sham for 4 minutes per session. The NIR-treated group showed significant reductions in anxiety and depression scores compared to the sham group (p<0.05). Improvements were already evident after the treatment period and were sustained at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups indicating lasting mood elevation. By study end, the active NIR group had substantially lower anxiety and depression ratings, whereas the placebo group saw minimal change. This trial demonstrates real-world efficacy of Redviva-range NIR wavelengths in reducing stress and anxiety-related symptoms
Clinical Study: Infrared Light Prevents Winter Depression as Effectively as Bright Light
In an innovative preventative trial by Meesters et al (1999), 38 people with a history of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) were randomly assigned in early fall to daily infrared light visor exposure (very dim, ~0.18 lux IR), bright white light (2500 lux), or no light, continuing through winter. Remarkably, the near-infrared light was just as effective as bright white light in preventing depressive episodes, and both outperformed no treatment. Only about 33% of the IR group experienced a depressive episode, versus 67% of the control group with no light. In other words, IR light therapy halved the incidence of winter depression relative to no treatment. This suggests that wavelengths in the NIR range (similar to Redviva panels) can block SAD recurrence comparably to standard bright light therapy.
Clinical Study: High-Power NlR Therapy Achieves 82% Depression Remission withLasting Effects
In a groundbreaking open-label study by Henderson & Morries (2017), 39 patients with depression (many with traumatic brain injury) received multi-Watt 810 nm near-infrared laser therapy to the forehead/temples (~20 sessions on average). The results were striking – 36 of 39 patients (92%) had a clinically significant response (≥50% reduction in depression scores), and 32 of 39 (82%) achieved full remission (scores ≤5). On average, depression severity (QIDS score) plummeted from 14.1 (“moderate”) to 3.4 (“normal”) after treatment. These gains were often rapid – some saw depression resolve within 4 weeks – and importantly, remissions were sustained for up to 55 months (4.5 years) after one treatment course. This study, using the same NIR wavelength range as Redviva panels, showcases extraordinarily durable antidepressant benefits, far exceeding typical outcomes of standard care

Mood FAQs
How long does it take to feel mood benefits from red light therapy?
Some users report improved mood, calmness, or energy after just a few sessions—especially when using red light in the morning or before bed. For more persistent mood concerns like depression or anxiety, most clinical studies show significant changes within 2–4 weeks of consistent use (3–5 times per week).
Sticking with it is key—and the emotional lift can be well worth it.
Is it safe to use red light therapy on the head or face for mood?
Absolutely. Clinical research supports safe use of red and NIR light on the forehead or scalp for mood, especially at wavelengths between 810–850 nm. These stimulate cellular energy and improve blood flow in the brain.
Redviva panels are designed with these same wavelengths—offering a non-invasive, side-effect-free way to support mental wellness.
Can red light therapy replace antidepressants or other medications?
Red light therapy can be a powerful complementary tool, but you should always speak with your healthcare provider before changing any medications. That said, some studies show significant reductions in depression scores—even in patients who didn’t respond to medication.
Think of it as a natural upgrade to your emotional tool kit.
When is the best time of day to use red light therapy for mood?
Morning sessions can boost energy and reset your circadian rhythm, while evening sessions help with relaxation, anxiety reduction, and better sleep. Many users experiment and stick with the time that leaves them feeling their best.
Red light meets you where you’re at—calming at night, uplifting by day.
