The Power of Red Light Therapy: How to Incorporate the Skinletics Recovery Body Patch into Your Daily Routine
Whether you're a professional athlete, student-athlete, weekend warrior, or simply someone who pushes their body to be its best — recovery isn’t a luxury. It's a requirement. At Skinletics, we believe recovery should fit into your lifestyle, not interrupt it. That’s exactly where red light therapy—and specifically, our Recovery Body Patch—comes into play.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) uses specific wavelengths of light — particularly in the red (around 630nm) and near-infrared (around 850nm) spectrum — to stimulate cellular energy production, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. Unlike heat-based modalities or invasive treatments, RLT works at the cellular level, penetrating deep into muscles, joints, and tissues without damaging the skin.
In simple terms: it helps your body recover faster, feel better, and perform at its best — naturally.
Why Athletes Are Using Red Light Therapy
Recovery is more than just rest. In today's world of year-round competition, training cycles, and non-stop movement, athletes need science-backed recovery tools that deliver real results. Red light therapy has been clinically studied for benefits like:
-
Reduced muscle soreness after workouts
-
Faster recovery from minor strains, overuse injuries, and fatigue
-
Increased blood flow, supporting oxygen and nutrient delivery
-
Decreased inflammation in joints and soft tissues
-
Improved range of motion and mobility over time

How to Incorporate Red Light Therapy into Your Routine
1️⃣ Morning Prep (5-10 min)
If you're dealing with chronic tightness or stiffness (think: lower back, hamstrings, shoulders), start your morning with 5-10 minutes of targeted patch placement while having your coffee, stretching, or getting ready. Infrared penetrates deeply to loosen tissues before your day even begins.
2️⃣ Post-Workout Recovery (10 min)
After training, apply the patch to key areas: quads, hamstrings, knees, or shoulders depending on your workout focus. This helps reduce DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and supports faster muscle repair.
3️⃣ Evening Wind-Down (10 min)
End your day with a focused recovery session. Target areas that feel overworked or irritated. Many athletes report better sleep when they include red light therapy as part of their nightly wind-down routine due to its relaxation effects on the nervous system.
4️⃣ Injury Support (As directed)
For minor strains, tendon issues, or joint irritation, consistent daily sessions with the Recovery Body Patch can help manage inflammation and promote tissue healing. (Always consult your healthcare professional if you're dealing with serious injuries.)
Real Recovery. Real Athletes.
The Skinletics Recovery Body Patch is used by athletes across sports — from basketball players recovering between games, to distance runners logging back-to-back training blocks, to fitness enthusiasts balancing work and workouts.
