I tested Megelin red light therapy for 30 days — I (and my body) have thoughts
The author tested Megelin's red light therapy and EMS devices over 30 days to evaluate their effectiveness for at-home wellness. Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, aims to boost cellular energy and repair, while EMS stimulates muscle contractions through electrical impulses. The review explores whether the brand delivers on its scientific claims or simply capitalizes on wellness trends.
- ▪Megelin combines red light therapy and EMS technology to offer at-home treatments for muscle recovery and skin health.
- ▪Red light therapy works by stimulating mitochondria to produce more ATP, which can reduce inflammation and promote collagen production.
- ▪EMS sends electrical impulses to motor neurons, causing muscle contractions that can improve strength and combat muscle atrophy.
- ▪Clinical studies suggest consistent use of red light therapy can reduce skin inflammation by nearly 45%.
- ▪The devices are designed for passive use, allowing integration into daily activities like working or browsing online.
