What is Photobiomodulation?
The conversion of light energy into biological vitality.
1. The Discovery
Photobiomodulation, or PBM, is the study of how defined exposures to light may interact with biological processes. Research spans different wavelengths, devices, and intended uses.
2. The Cellular Process
When red light photons are absorbed by cells, they increase the energy production within the mitochondria. This leads to an increase in ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of the cell. With more energy available, cells can function more efficiently, supporting natural repair and regeneration.
3. Why it Matters
As we age, our cells naturally produce less ATP, leading to slower recovery times and increased inflammation. Red light therapy is used by dermatology professionals to support skin health and by athletes to aid in muscle recovery. It offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support the body's natural processes.

Red Light Therapy: Myth vs Science
Clarifying biological facts from marketing fiction.
Myth 01
"More intensity means better results."
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
Studies use defined exposure parameters. More light does not automatically mean a better outcome. Follow the instructions for your specific device.
Myth 02
"All red-light devices work the same way."
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
Wavelength, output, treatment area, distance, and session timing vary. Findings from one setup should not be generalized to every device.
Myth 03
"A specific result is guaranteed on a set timeline."
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
Outcomes depend on the device and protocol studied. Testimonials and individual studies do not establish a guaranteed result for every user.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about Halio longevity devices and practices.
We turn clinic-inspired light therapy into lightweight devices designed for a consistent, everyday skin longevity routine. Every device is developed under the clinical leadership of a board-certified dermatologist and backed by a 2-year warranty. More than 4.5 million devices have been sold worldwide.
Red and near-infrared light reach below the skin’s surface, where they’re absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy centres of your cells. This supports the production of ATP, the energy cells use to repair and renew, which in turn supports collagen, calmer-looking skin and recovery. Our clinical work is led by Dr. Ted Lain, a board-certified dermatologist and Halio’s Chief Clinical Innovation Officer, and every claim we make has to meet his evidence standard.
Light therapy works cumulatively, because it supports processes in your skin that take time. Most people notice smoother, calmer, more even-looking skin within about 4 weeks of consistent use. Firmer-looking skin and softer-looking fine lines usually show after 6 to 8 weeks, as collagen renewal builds. Consistency matters most. Individual results may vary.
Yes. All Halio devices are non-invasive and designed for at-home use, our LED devices emit no UV light, and every device is developed under a board-certified dermatologist’s clinical leadership. Follow the recommended routine for your device, and if you have sensitive skin, start on the lowest intensity. We don’t recommend using Halio devices during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and if you have a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
Most sessions take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the device. Slip on the hands-free LED Mask Pro while you unwind, or use the RegenBoost after a workout. It’s a short daily habit, and keeping it consistent is what builds results over time.
