More Men Are Turning to Red Light Therapy
In a world filled with long work hours, stress, and endless social activities, it’s easy for mental health and physical health to take a backseat—especially for men. It’s no secret that women are often the ones investing in wellness gadgets, supplements, and routines, only to have the men “borrow” them later. Whether it’s that fancy massage gun, red light therapy device, or daily supplements, we’ve heard countless stories of customers buying a LUMEBOX for themselves, with a partner who’s initially reluctant—only to find that partner using it just as often (if not more!).
Here are some popular ways men can level up their health with the benefits of LUMEBOX.
First, what is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive wellness tool that uses red and near-infrared light wavelengths to support the mitochondria. These tiny powerhouses within our cells generate the energy needed for everything in the body to function smoothly.
Studies suggest that red light therapy may improve skin appearance—supporting collagen, and reducing the appearance of breakouts, redness, and fine lines. It may also aid post-workout recovery, temporarily ease pain and inflammation, support joint comfort, promote restful sleep, and even encourage healthy hair growth!
How LUMEBOX fits into any man’s routine
Here’s why men are turning to LUMEBOX and how you can incorporate it into your day-to-day routine.
1. Hair and Scalp Health
- Mode: RED light
- Time: 12 minutes
- When: Anytime during the day
- Frequency: Daily, for 3-6 months
Studies carried out on males and females with patterned baldness and androgenic alopecia have shown that red light therapy may help revitalize the hair follicles and encourage hair growth (depending on the cause of hair loss itself). Read more here.
2. Foot Recovery After a Long Day
- Mode: Combined (Red + NIR)
- Time: 12 minutes
- When: Anytime during the day
Do you spend long hours on your feet, whether at work, during your workouts, or while running errands all day? LUMEBOX can be a game-changer for foot recovery.
Hear it from a health and fitness coach Nick Kempen:
"As a health and fitness coach, I enjoy using LUMEBOX on the bottom of my feet to recover from all the stress placed on them."
3. Elbow and Shoulder Pain
- Mode: NIR or Combined (Red + NIR)
- Time: 12 minutes
- When: When your joints need extra TLC
Whether it's from repetitive motion or strain in sports like tennis and golf, or even lifting objects around the house, joint pain can limit your mobility and daily activities.
Near-infrared (NIR) light can penetrate deeper into the tissues and may help temporarily reduce pain and inflammation, supporting the body's natural healing process. Read more here.
4. Muscle Recovery and Performance
- Mode: NIR or Combined (Red + NIR)
- Time: 12 minutes
- When: Pre, post, or during a workout
If you like to hit the gym or stay active, muscle recovery is key to staying on top of your game. Studies suggest red light therapy may:
- Supercharge athletic performance
- Aid muscle gains and hypertrophy
- Reduce muscle soreness and speed post-workout recovery
Professional footballer, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is one of the athletes who uses LUMEBOX to support his workouts and recovery. Here’s what he had to say:
"I love using my LUMEBOX right after practice. Just 20-30 minutes of red light speeds up my recovery, allowing me to hit the field again feeling fresh and ready to perform."
He goes on to add:
"When dealing with minor injuries, I rely on my LUMEBOX to promote healing. I can easily bring it to the locker room or take it with me when I travel, and I've found it significantly reduces inflammation and gets me back in the game faster."
