As far as I can tell, from what I've red about the green tea thing, is that the use of the extract stemmed from one study which exposed their participants to oxidative stressors and then treated them with green tea. Furthermore, that study used green-tea-soaked cotton balls and not the extract.
Another article stated that certain red light therapies were thought to be oxidative stressors themselves and that the use of green tea as an antioxidant might reduce the affects of free radicals produced while under a red light device. But then the artical went on to say that one of the reasons why RLT works is b/c it is a stressor and that is the reason why the skin, tissue and bones react to it by going into a rejuvenation mode thereby promoting healing. The article presented an argument about the use of antioxidant while undergoing RLT. They said the proof was not there to say either way if it was a good thing or bad thing.
The fact is that science cannot explain how or why RLT works. It's a mystery.
