Red Light Therapy
Harnessing the properties of Red Light Therapy, an extremely popular modality designed to promote rejuvenation, and overall well-being. Utilizing the therapeutic properties of red and near-infrared light, this non-invasive therapy harnesses the natural power of light to target a wide range of concerns and promote optimal health from within.
How Red Light Therapy Works
Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy, works by exposing the skin to concentrated wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, stimulating cellular energy production and promoting various biological processes within the body.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy offers a myriad of benefits for both physical and mental well-being.
Some of the key benefits may include:
633nm (Red Light)
Skin Rejuvenation
Red light at 633nm penetrates the skin’s dermis layer, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to improved skin tone, texture, and firmness, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
Wound Reparation
Red light therapy at 633nm promotes wound reparation by increasing blood flow to the affected area, enhancing tissue repair, and reducing inflammation. It can accelerate recovery from injuries, cuts, and surgical incisions.
660nm (Red Light)
Pain Relief
Red light at 660nm has analgesic properties, helping to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint stiffness. It reduces inflammation and promotes relaxation of muscles, leading to relief from pain.
Hair Growth
Red light therapy at 660nm stimulates hair follicles, promoting hair growth and thickening. It can be beneficial for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning, helping to restore fullness and vitality to the hair.
810nm (Near-Infrared Light)
Cellular Repair
Near-infrared light at 810nm penetrates deep into the body’s tissues, reaching the mitochondria of cells. It enhances cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) and promotes cellular repair and regeneration, leading to faster recovery.
Pain Management
Near-infrared light therapy at 810nm has analgesic effects, reducing pain sensation by blocking pain signals and releasing endorphins. It can be effective for managing chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and back pain.
850nm (Near-Infrared Light)
Anti-Inflammatory
Near-infrared light at 850nm has potent anti-inflammatory properties, reducing inflammation in the body by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and promoting the release of anti-inflammatory mediators. It can alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis.
Brain Health
Near-infrared light therapy at 850nm has neuroprotective effects, supporting brain health and cognitive function. It can improve memory, focus, and mental clarity, and may have potential applications in the reset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
