How to Use the Skinletics Light Therapy Yoga Mat at Home for Full-Body Athlete Recovery

Recovery is a core pillar of performance at Skinletics. That’s why we developed the Skinletics Light Therapy Yoga Mat— a full-body recovery tool created specifically for athletes and active individuals who want professional-grade recovery at home.

This isn’t a standard yoga mat with lights added. It’s a Skinletics recovery device, engineered to support muscle recovery, relaxation, and readiness using medical-grade red and near-infrared light therapy.

What Makes the Skinletics Light Therapy Yoga Mat Different

The Skinletics Light Therapy Yoga Mat was designed with one clear purpose:
to help athletes recover more efficiently, more consistently, and more comfortably — without needing a clinic, physio room, or team facility.

Key Skinletics-specific features:

• Mode 1: Targeted red (660nm) & near-infrared (850nm) wavelengths chosen for muscle and tissue recovery

• Mode 2: Skin balancing red (660nm) & blue (415nm) wavelenghts chosen for skin health. 
  
  

• Full-body LED layout, allowing simultaneous treatment of back, hips, legs, and shoulders

• Athlete-ready design: durable, easy to clean, and simple to integrate into daily routines

• At-home + facility use, the same mat trusted in university and team recovery environments
  

How Skinletics Light Therapy Supports Recovery

The Skinletics Yoga Mat uses photobiomodulation, a science-backed process where specific light wavelengths stimulate cellular energy production (ATP).

For athletes, this means:

• Improved blood flow to fatigued muscles

• Reduced inflammation after training

• Faster muscle repair between sessions

• Nervous system relaxation after high physical or mental load

Instead of passive rest, the Skinletics mat delivers active recovery while you lie down.

Benefits of the Skinletics Light Therapy Yoga Mat

1. Full-Body Muscle Recovery

Unlike small, targeted devices, the Skinletics Yoga Mat treats multiple large muscle groups at once, making it ideal after heavy training days or competitions.

2. Reduced Muscle Soreness & Stiffness

Red and near-infrared light help calm post-exercise inflammation, reducing next-day tightness and helping you move better, sooner.

3. Support for Sleep & Relaxation

Many athletes use the Skinletics mat in the evening. Red light therapy helps calm the nervous system — supporting deeper recovery and better sleep quality.

4. Joint & Lower-Back Relief

Because the mat covers hips, spine, glutes, and legs, it’s especially effective for areas that carry the most load in training and daily life.

5. Recovery That Fits Real Life

The Skinletics Yoga Mat allows you to recover without adding time to your schedule. Lie down, reset, and let the technology work.

How Often Should You Use the Skinletics Yoga Mat?

Skinletics recommends:

• 3–5 sessions per week for maintenance recovery

• Daily use during intense training blocks or high stress periods

• 10–20 minutes per session, depending on load

The mat is designed for regular, safe use as part of a long-term recovery strategy.
