What is Red Light Therapy and How Does It Work?
Photobiomodulation, often referred to as red light therapy, utilizes low-level red and near-infrared light to boost cellular function, enhancing energy production within cells.
The light deeply penetrates the skin to reach the mitochondria - the cell's power generators - where it stimulates the cytochrome c oxidase protein. This stimulation boosts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, essential for powering cellular operations. Additionally, it helps modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS), linked to inflammation and oxidative stress.
By elevating ATP and curbing ROS, red light therapy enhances mitochondrial health.
When light enters the tissue, several changes occur at the cellular level:
ATP increases, which improves cellular energy and function.
Blood flow improves through nitric oxide release.
Inflammation signals shift, supporting tissue repair.
Nerves and muscles respond with improved regulation and reduced tension.
These effects make photobiomodulation useful for conditions that benefit from improved circulation, healthier tissue metabolism, reduced inflammation, and more stable nerve signaling across multiple systems in the body.
Red light therapy is noninvasive and nonthermal. It works by delivering specific red and near-infrared wavelengths that interact with cellular processes involved in energy production, repair, and signaling.
Red and near-infrared light do more than increase cellular energy. When cells absorb light, it changes how they communicate, regulate inflammation, and coordinate repair. Mitochondria influence signaling pathways that affect blood flow, immune response, nerve behavior, and tissue remodeling. These effects can spread through connected tissues, producing system-level responses from localized treatment. At the same time, light can be applied deliberately to tissues involved in broader regulation, such as bone marrow, lymphatic structures, or neural pathways, allowing targeted influence over system-wide processes.
Why Clinicians Are Using Red Light Therapy and Low Level Laser Therapy
Photobiomodulation is no longer limited to musculoskeletal care. Clinicians across fertility care, women’s health, postpartum recovery, pain management, wound care, and menopause support use red and near-infrared light because it influences circulation, inflammation, nerve signaling, and cellular repair at a foundational level.
Many of the tissues involved in fertility, hormone regulation, healing, and pain are highly responsive to light because they depend heavily on mitochondrial activity and blood flow. When the right wavelengths are delivered at appropriate doses, clinicians observe improvements in tissue function, circulation, comfort, and recovery across multiple systems, not just a single organ or diagnosis.
This is why red light therapy and low level laser therapy are now used alongside care plans for fertility challenges, pregnancy-related pain, postpartum recovery, wound and scar healing, nerve irritation, chronic pain, and menopause-related changes. As research continues to expand, PBM is increasingly viewed as a practical adjunct grounded in both published data and clinical experience.
“When cellular energy production and inflammatory signaling shift, multiple tissues respond. This is why photobiomodulation appears across so many areas of clinical care, and why a precise handheld laser can be used in so many different ways..”
The Science Behind Wavelengths, Irradiance, and Dosage
Not all red light therapy devices are the same. Wavelength, power output, and total dose determine how light interacts with tissue and whether it produces a meaningful biological response. Understanding these elements helps explain why low level laser therapy and photobiomodulation are used across fertility care, pain management, healing, and neurological support.
-
Laser-based photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths because different tissues respond at different depths.
Red light at 650 nanometers primarily influences more superficial tissues, supporting circulation, cellular energy production, and surface-level repair.
Near-infrared light at 808 nanometers penetrates more deeply, influencing blood flow, mitochondrial function, nerve signaling, and tissues involved in pain regulation, healing, and hormone-related processes. This wavelength is widely studied in clinical and research settings.
The Solasta Handheld Laser delivers both red and near-infrared laser light, allowing treatment of both surface and deeper tissues with precision.
-
Irradiance describes how much light energy reaches the tissue, measured in milliwatts per square centimeter.
Devices with low power output may appear bright but fail to deliver a therapeutic dose, especially in deeper tissue. Laser-based devices differ from LEDs by delivering coherent, focused light that maintains intensity as it penetrates tissue.
The Solasta Handheld Laser delivers up to 1300 milliwatts of laser output, allowing effective dosing over small, targeted areas without relying on long treatment times or diffuse exposure.
-
Dosage refers to the total energy delivered over time, measured in joules.
Photobiomodulation follows a biphasic dose response. Too little energy produces minimal effect. Too much can reduce effectiveness.
The Solasta Handheld Laser allows dosing to be adjusted through power level, mode, and treatment duration, making it possible to tailor energy delivery to different tissues and goals rather than relying on a single fixed routine.
Because different concerns involve different tissues and biological targets, dosing strategies vary. This is why evidence-informed protocols matter and why treatment-specific guidance is included with the device.
“Effective red light and low level laser therapy depend on calibrated dosing. Personalized Treatment Protocols make that possible.”
How Common Handheld Red Light Devices Compare Clinically
WHY NOT ALL HANDHELD DEVICES PERFORM THE SAME
Most red light therapy products on the market are built for general wellness and broad exposure. Handheld devices vary widely in wavelength accuracy, power output, and how effectively light reaches deeper tissue. Those differences matter when the goal is meaningful biological change rather than surface-level effects.
This comparison focuses on handheld devices commonly used for red light therapy and low level laser therapy, including both laser-based and LED-based options. The emphasis is on performance, transparency of specifications, and real-world clinical usefulness rather than marketing claims.
What We Evaluated
Handheld red light devices are often marketed as interchangeable, but clinically they are not. This comparison focused on whether each device can deliver light at wavelengths and power levels shown in research to influence deeper tissue, circulation, inflammation, and cellular energy production.
We evaluated output at the skin, estimated penetration, consistency of dosing, thermal behavior during use, and whether manufacturers disclose meaningful technical data. Practical factors such as ease of use and reliability were considered, but performance came first.
Comparison Criteria:
Wavelengths: Red and near-infrared (therapeutic range)
Device type: Laser versus LED
Skin contact: Ability to maintain contact without excessive heat
Power: Irradiance at the skin surface and estimated depth
Energy delivery: Total energy delivered over a standard treatment time
Adjustability: Power levels and pulse options
Safety: EMF transparency and thermal behavior
Devices Compared:
Solasta Handheld Laser
Novaa Deep Healing Laser
Red Light Man 830 nm LED
Why Laser and LED Devices Perform Differently
Lasers and LEDs may share similar wavelength labels, but they behave very differently in tissue. Laser light is coherent and collimated, allowing more energy to remain concentrated as it travels into the body. LED light disperses quickly, which limits penetration and reduces the dose delivered to deeper structures.
For applications involving joints, nerves, pelvic structures, scars, or systemic signaling, power density and depth matter. This is why devices with higher irradiance and skin-contact capability tend to perform differently than lower-output LED-only tools.

COMMON USES
Pelvic Light Therapy for Specific Female Health Concerns
The Fringe Pelvic Wand is used for a wide range of female health concerns, and most people arrive here with something specific they are trying to address. The sections below walk through common uses of pelvic light therapy, with each section focused on a particular issue and how the wand is typically applied. If you still have questions, you can explore the FAQ, book a consultation, or reach out directly. We’re always happy to help.
IMPROVE BLOOD FLOW, TISSUE SIGNALING, AND RECEPTIVITY
Fertility Support With Internal Pelvic Light Therapy
Fertility-related photobiomodulation has shifted away from a “more is better” approach as research into dosimetry has advanced. Earlier fertility protocols relied heavily on high-irradiance external devices. More recent evidence suggests that lower doses of specific wavelengths, delivered precisely and consistently, may stimulate pelvic tissues effectively without excessive exposure.
An internal pelvic wand changes the delivery pathway. The posterior vaginal fornix sits in close anatomical proximity to the ovaries and surrounding pelvic structures. This is the same route used for transvaginal ultrasound and egg retrieval, where clinicians access the ovarian environment through a short, indirect pathway.
When an intravaginal device is positioned carefully in this area, it may influence pelvic blood flow, inflammatory signaling, and tissue health in structures near the ovaries, even though direct ovarian effects continue to be studied. In clinical practice, this proximity is what makes intravaginal approaches relevant in fertility care.
For fertility support, the goal is not intensity. It is accurate placement, appropriate wavelength selection, and repeatable dosing that respects pelvic anatomy and the sensitivity of reproductive tissues.
Fertility-Specific Considerations
Proximity to the posterior fornix places light closer to the ovarian and uterine environment
Lower-dose stimulation aligns with emerging research on endometrial receptivity
Internal delivery avoids unnecessary exposure to surrounding tissues
Consistent placement supports repeatable treatment sessions
Intended to support fertility care plans, not replace medical treatment
“In fertility-focused use, accurate placement determines whether light reaches relevant pelvic structures.”
Painful Intercourse and Pelvic Tissue Sensitivity
RELIEF IS POSSIBLE
Pain with penetration rarely has a single cause. It often involves a combination of muscle guarding, sensitive or restricted scar tissue, hormonal changes that affect tissue quality, and heightened nerve response. Discomfort usually reflects how these factors interact within the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues.
Internal pelvic light therapy offers a way to work with these tissues deliberately rather than forcefully. Red and near-infrared light can support circulation and tissue metabolism, while vibration can help reduce guarding and improve sensory feedback. Used correctly, this allows painful areas to be approached progressively, which matters when pain has been present for some time.
Red light therapy has also been explored as a non-hormonal option for supporting vaginal tissue health and lubrication. Some women notice changes relatively quickly, while others need a slower approach, especially when pelvic floor tension, nerve sensitivity, or scar tissue are involved.
In more complex cases, internal work is often paired with external support, such as light applied to surrounding tissues, breath work, and gentle acupressure, to help reduce protective muscle holding over time.
Common Drivers of Penetration Pain
Muscle guarding and protective pelvic floor tension
Hormonal changes affecting tissue comfort and lubrication
Nerve-related sensitivity or heightened pain response
Sensitive or restricted tissue, including scar tissue
Heightened protective response to penetration
“Pain with penetration is often a protective response rather than a flaw or failure. When pain persists, it is rarely about effort or tolerance. It reflects how muscles, nerves, and tissue are responding together. This is not something you simply have to live with.”
SUPPORTING RECOVERY AS TISSUES REPAIR AND REBALANCE AFTER BIRTH
Postpartum Healing
Postpartum recovery places unique demands on pelvic and perineal tissues. Swelling, soreness, tearing, incision healing, and changes in circulation are common after both vaginal and cesarean births. The Fringe Pelvic Wand combines red, near infrared, and blue light with vibration to support tissue recovery during this period as part of a broader postpartum care plan.
Red and near infrared light are being studied for their role in reducing inflammation, supporting circulation, and encouraging tissue repair in sensitive pelvic and perineal areas. In the early postpartum phase, the wand is typically used externally on the vulva and perineum to support comfort while tissues are healing. Internal use may be introduced later, with guidance, once the body is ready.
For women recovering from vaginal tears, episiotomies, or general birth-related swelling, consistent external use may help ease tenderness and support the natural healing process. For cesarean recovery, the wand can also be used externally along a closed, healed incision. Blue light is used at the skin surface to support cleanliness and comfort, while near infrared light penetrates more deeply to support circulation, tissue repair, and reduced inflammation as scar tissue matures.

A closer look at how the pelvic wand can be used throughout postpartum recovery
Postpartum healing is rarely linear. Tissue recovery, nerve response, and comfort change over time. A flexible approach that adapts to each stage of recovery is often what makes ongoing support both effective and sustainable.
Postpartum Healing Applications of the Fringe Pelvic Wand
-
Soreness and tenderness in the vulva and perineum are common after vaginal birth due to tissue stretching, swelling, and micro-trauma. Targeted external light therapy can support comfort and circulation in these sensitive areas as early healing begins.
-
Healing after tears or an episiotomy often involves ongoing tenderness and sensitivity as tissue repairs. External use can support the natural healing process while tissues regain strength and resilience over time.
-
Swelling and generalized pelvic discomfort are common in the weeks following birth. Supporting circulation and tissue response during this phase can help ease pressure and improve overall comfort as the body recovers.
-
Once a cesarean incision is fully closed and healed, external light therapy can be used to support comfort and tissue repair around the scar as it matures. This approach is intended to complement, not replace, standard postoperative care.
-
Postpartum healing continues well beyond the early weeks after birth. As scar tissue and surrounding structures adapt, ongoing support can help address lingering sensitivity and promote longer-term comfort.
ADDRESSING INFLAMMATION, MUSCLE GUARDING, AND TISSUE SENSITIVITY
Pelvic Pain Support With Internal Red Light Therapy
Pelvic pain is a broad term that includes many overlapping conditions, including endometriosis, prolapse, painful intercourse, postpartum trauma, menopause related changes, and nerve sensitivity. In practice, pelvic pain rarely affects only one structure or one system. When discomfort persists, it often involves a combination of inflammation, tissue irritation, muscle guarding, and heightened nervous system response.
Ongoing pelvic pain can also affect more than physical comfort. It often impacts confidence, intimacy, relationships, and emotional wellbeing, especially when the pelvis no longer feels like a safe or neutral part of the body. For many women, pain becomes something they work around rather than resolve.
Internal pelvic light therapy offers a way to work with pain at the tissue and nervous system level. Red and near infrared light may help calm inflammatory signaling and support tissue repair, while gentle vibration can encourage overprotective pelvic floor muscles to soften and release. This combination allows the body to reduce guarding gradually rather than being pushed through pain.
In clinical settings, pelvic photobiomodulation is often used alongside pelvic floor physical therapy and other care. Experience with this approach points to meaningful reductions in pain and improvements in quality of life, which is why a consistent home tool can be a powerful adjunct. Not only for physical comfort, but for rebuilding trust in the body over time.
Common Pelvic Pain Presentations

Pain related to endometriosis or pelvic inflammation
Muscle guarding and pelvic floor overactivity
Nerve sensitivity or burning, aching, or pulling sensations

REDUCING GUARDING AND RESTORING HEALTHY MUSCLE RESPONSE
Pelvic Floor Tension Support With Internal Pelvic Light Therapy
Pelvic floor tension often shows up as a constant sense of clenching, pressure, or tightness that feels difficult to release. For many women, this tension is not voluntary. It develops as a protective response to pain, stress, trauma, hormonal changes, or repeated discomfort in the pelvis. Over time, muscles that are meant to contract and relax become stuck in a shortened, guarded state.
When pelvic floor muscles remain overactive, they can contribute to pain, difficulty with penetration, urinary symptoms, and a general feeling of discomfort or heaviness in the pelvis. Simply telling the muscles to relax rarely works. The nervous system needs input that signals safety before the body will let go of that tension.
Internal pelvic light therapy offers a gentle way to support this process. Red and near infrared light helps improve circulation and tissue flexibility, while low level vibration provides neuromuscular input that encourages guarded muscles to soften and lengthen. Used together, these signals help reduce protective holding rather than forcing release.
For many women, pelvic floor tension responds best when internal work is paired with breath-work and nervous system regulation. This is why Fringe protocols often include guided audio to support relaxation during internal sessions. Over time, consistent use can make internal release work more comfortable and help restore a healthier balance between contraction and relaxation.
Common Signs of Pelvic Floor Tension
Persistent clenching or pressure in the pelvis
Difficulty relaxing during penetration or exams
Pain that improves briefly but returns quickly
Urinary urgency or incomplete emptying
Discomfort linked to stress or nervous system activation
Pelvic floor tension is maintained by muscle guarding and nervous system response. When those signals change, the body can begin to release.
SUPPORTING COMFORT, TISSUE QUALITY, AND SURFACE HEALTH
Vulvar Discomfort or Dryness
Vulvar discomfort can include burning, irritation, dryness, or a persistent sense of sensitivity that affects daily comfort and intimacy. These symptoms may be linked to hormonal changes, postpartum recovery, menopause, recurrent irritation, or shifts in tissue integrity over time. For many women, discomfort is localized to the vulva or vestibule rather than deeper pelvic structures.
In these cases, the Pelvic Wand can be used externally without insertion, allowing light to be delivered directly to sensitive surface tissues. Red light may support circulation and healthy tissue turnover, which can help improve comfort and resilience in vulvar tissue. Consistent external use is often preferred when tenderness or irritation makes internal work uncomfortable.
Blue light offers an additional option when surface imbalance or infection risk is a concern, as it can be used externally to support skin level hygiene and comfort. Research into red light based vaginal therapies has also suggested improvements in hydration, elasticity, and overall tissue integrity, making light therapy a non hormonal option for ongoing vulvar and vaginal wellness.
As with other pelvic concerns, outcomes depend on correct placement, appropriate dosing, and consistency. External protocols are typically simple and can be adapted over time as tissue comfort and sensitivity change.
The Everyday Impact of Vulvar Discomfort
Pulling away from physical closeness or intimacy
Discomfort that interferes with everyday movement
Touch that feels unpredictable or hard to trust
Recovery after birth that changes how your body feels
Menopause-related changes that affect comfort or desire
Internal and external PBM are not interchangeable. They work on different structures, deliver light through different tissue types, and create different physiological effects. Understanding the distinction helps people choose the right tool for the issue they’re addressing.
Internal vs External Pelvic Light Therapy
Internal
Internal light therapy reaches an entirely different category of tissue. Vaginal mucosa absorbs light far more efficiently than external skin, allowing red and near-infrared wavelengths to travel deeper with less loss of power.
Internal light therapy is most effective for:
Fertility-related pelvic concerns (blood flow, tissue metabolism, endometrial support)
Healing perineal tissue, scar tissue and dryness
Painful intercourse and pelvic floor hypertonicity
Vaginal dryness or menopausal tissue changes
Vulvar discomfort when internal structures are involved
Nerve-related pelvic pain rooted deeper in the pelvis
External
External laser therapy works through the skin and fascia, delivering concentrated red and near-infrared light into surface and mid-depth tissues.
External light therapy is most effective for:
Circulation and inflammation in the lower abdomen and pelvis
Pelvic floor overactivity and muscular tension
Low back pain and sacral discomfort
Cesarean scar healing and external scar modulation
Vulvar discomfort when external only
Nerve irritation that responds to targeted surface dosing
Internal and external devices serve different purposes in pelvic and reproductive health.
Internal light therapy delivers wavelengths directly to mucosal tissues and deeper pelvic structures. This is ideal for concerns involving the vaginal canal, cervix, pelvic floor, vulvar tissue, and circulation within the pelvis.
External laser therapy is designed for the tissues you reach from the outside-lower abdomen, ovaries, uterus, pelvic nerves, lower back, cesarean scars, hips, and surrounding soft tissue. A clinical-grade handheld laser offers concentrated dosing and deeper penetration, which is why it is often paired with internal work when someone is addressing fertility, postpartum recovery, pelvic pain, or hormonal shifts.
Both approaches support different structures and different depths. Some people use only one device. Many benefit from both because internal and external tissues often contribute to the same symptoms.
If external treatment is part of your plan, the Solasta Handheld Laser is the device I use and recommend for home care.
