Why Red Light? Why SECOTRA?
At SECOTRA, we believe that science should empower, not confuse. We’re dedicated to transparency, integrity, and simplicity in everything we do—from product design to how we communicate the real benefits of red light therapy. Our mission is to refine the power of light and make advanced wellness accessible to everyone, without hype or empty promises.
Experience a new standard in red light therapy—rooted in honesty, science, and real results.
Cytochrome c Oxidase Activation
Cytochrome c oxidase is the final enzyme in your cell’s energy production chain. When red and near-infrared light reaches your mitochondria, it helps displace nitric oxide, unblocking this crucial enzyme. The result: a surge in electron flow and increased ATP production—giving your cells more energy to power repair, recovery, and performance.
ATP Production
Red and near-infrared light drive electrons through your mitochondria’s energy-making machinery, powering ATP synthase. This dramatically boosts the production of ATP—the molecule that fuels nearly every function in your cells. Enhanced ATP means more energy for repair, recovery, and peak performance throughout your body.
Calcium Ion Modulation
Red and near-infrared light activate special channels in your cells, allowing calcium ions to flow into the mitochondria. These calcium ions act as key messengers, supporting increased ATP production, improved gene expression, and healthier metabolic signaling. The result is better cellular function and enhanced communication throughout your body.
Inflammation Modulation
When your cells are inflamed, they produce harmful molecules that overwhelm mitochondria and disrupt healing. Red and near-infrared light therapy helps restore balance by supporting mitochondrial function, increasing ATP, and suppressing key pro-inflammatory markers. The result is a healthier, more resilient cellular environment.

Skin Health & Collagen Production
Red and near-infrared light energize fibroblast cells in the skin, stimulating mitochondria to boost ATP and activate genetic signaling pathways like TGF-β. This promotes collagen synthesis—improving skin strength, elasticity, and appearance from the inside out. It's a foundational mechanism behind healthier, firmer, more youthful skin.
Circulation and Nitric Oxide Release
Red and near-infrared light stimulate the release of nitric oxide (NO) from mitochondria in your endothelial cells—the cells that line your blood vessels. This process promotes vasodilation, helping your vessels expand and improving circulation. Better blood flow means more oxygen, nutrients, and cellular support exactly where your body needs it most.
Oxidative Stress Reduction
Oxidative stress occurs when harmful molecules like reactive oxygen species (ROS) build up and overwhelm your cells. Red and near-infrared light help reduce this stress by improving mitochondrial efficiency and activating powerful antioxidant pathways like Nrf2 and superoxide dismutase. The result is a healthier, more balanced internal environment that supports resilience and recovery.
