Today Ashleigh asks an expert all the questions about red light therapy: Having dealt with health challenges in childhood and early adulthood, Scott Chaverri has always been passionate about all things health and wellness. After earning a BA in Psychology from Cornell University and a MBA in Finance from the Simon School of Business, Scott worked for several Fortune 500 companies, in the business services, medical device, financial services and ecommerce industries before founding his company, Mito Red Light, that delivers a range of red light and infrared products (at a very competitive price point) delivering science-backed and specific wavelengths and red light therapies to help improve skin health, recovery, sleep, and more. 

We cover topics including:

  • what is the difference between red light and infrared light?
  • What is the difference between near and far infrared?
  • What are some of the studies backing the actual efficacy of these products?
  • How can a consumer tell they are getting a good red light product? Some red flags to pay attention to
  • How often can/should you use red light panels - can you overdo it?
  • How can red light therapy help with things like acne, fine lines, muscle or injury recovery, hormonal health, and sleep?
  • Dive into some of the science between wavelengths and how the different types penetrate skin
  • For those of us unable/unwilling to buy red light therapy, what are some lifestyle things we can be doing to improve our red:blue light ratios?
