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 support the appearance of healthy skin, aid post-workout recovery, temporarily ease pain, support joint comfort, promote rest, and even encourage healthy-looking hair!
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 (depending on the cause of hair loss itself). Read more here.
Note: these studies were done using special research devices, not LUMEBOX, but using similar wavelength and irradiance.
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 Aches
- 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 may penetrate deeper into the tissues and may help temporarily ease minor aches and pains. Read more here.
4. Post-Workout Recovery
- 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 (using special research devices that use similar wavelength and irradiance to LUMEBOX) may:
- Support athletic performance
- Aid muscle gains and hypertrophy
- Reduce post-workout muscle soreness
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 allows me to hit the field again feeling fresh and ready to perform. I can easily bring it to the locker room or take it with me when I travel."

5. Skincare for Men
While skincare might not be the first thing on every man’s list, clinical studies have suggested that red light therapy may support healthy looking skin. Here’s how to use LUMEBOX as part of your skincare routine:
- Mode: RED light
- Time: 6 minutes
- When: Morning / Afternoon
A convenient addition to an at-home skincare routine, without the need for 10 different complicated steps!

6. Relax Better, Perform Better
- Mode: NIR Light
- Time: 12 minutes
- When: 1-2 hours before bed
- Where: Back of the neck
Studies suggest red light may support better rest, helping you wind down at the end of the day. Read more here.
Note: studies were not done using LUMEBOX, but special research devices that emit similar wavelength and irradiance.
“Before bedtime, I set up my LUMEBOX for a quick session to help me unwind while I watch film, read, or play video games, ensuring I'm ready to go for the next day's training.”
- Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
