Scientific Rationale Behind the RLT Memory Mask©

1. Photobiomodulation (PBM) & Cellular Energy

Red (660nm) and Near-Infrared Light (NIR) enhance mitochondrial activity by stimulating cytochrome c oxidase.
This increases ATP production, supporting cell repair, anti-inflammation, and blood flow.

2. Brain Health & Memory Retention

Red and NIR light penetrate the scalp, stimulating neuronal function and cognitive performance by increasing cerebral blood flow and reducing oxidative stress.

3. Eye Health and Vision Support

480nm blue light helps regulate circadian rhythms and enhances retinal health.
Low-dose exposure aids eye strain relief.

4. Skin Health: Collagen & Wrinkles

Red light stimulates fibroblasts for collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing inflammation.

PMID: 24049929


5. Hair Growth (Eyebrows / Eyelashes)

660nm red light extends the anagen phase, promoting lash and brow growth via follicular stimulation.

6. Improved Sleep Quality

Red light supports melatonin production and circadian rhythm regulation, leading to deeper, more restful sleep.
