Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy boost the collagen and elastin production in the cell, it also can alter the permeability of the fat cells, allowing your body to better use the fat in those stubborn areas and can improve the appearance of your skin. Treatments are non-invasive, quick and relaxing (20-30 minutes) and require no downtime.
The low wavelength produced by our Red Light Therapy machine can be absorbed by the mitochondria in your body, which are responsible for many important processes in your day to day health, healing abilities, and energy production. This relaxing service may help the body promote healing, boost energy levels, relieve minor pain and swelling, and balance your mood.

What is red light therapy

Whole Body Red Light Therapy, or Photobiomodulation, uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body to activate natural processes. The cellular healing is an effective alternative to medications and surgery for treating moderate to chronic pain, repairing skin damage, reducing inflammation and relaxing joints, and increasing endurance and preventing injury in athletes. Without lifting a finger.

How does read light therapy work?

With red light therapy, you expose your skin to a laser with a red light. A part of your cells called mitochondria, sometimes called the “power generators” of your cells, soak it up and make more energy. With this boost to the energy center of the cell, the cells can do their jobs—such as healing and growth—more efficiently. red light therapy can penetrate the skin up to 6 millimeters beneath the surface, it doesn’t have to cause damage in order to boost cell activity,

Benefits of Red-Light Therapy:

Skin Rejuvenation

Red-light therapy has shown remarkable results in improving skin health and appearance. It stimulates collagen synthesis, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes a more youthful complexion. It can also help with acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Pain Relief and Muscle Recovery

Red-light therapy offers natural relief from chronic and acute pain. It helps reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and enhance tissue repair, making it a valuable tool for managing conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, muscle strains, and sports injuries. It also aids in post-exercise recovery, reducing muscle soreness and promoting faster healing.

Weight Loss

Red-light therapy temporarily disrupts the cell membrane, facilitating the release, shrinkage, and subsequent removal of stored fat cells through the body's natural waste elimination processes. Scientific studies predominantly highlight the efficacy of red light therapy in diminishing fat around the waist and arms. Beyond its role in reducing the size of fat cells and refining body contours, this therapy extends additional benefits to individuals on a weight loss journey.

Mood Enhancement and Mental Well-being

Red-light therapy has been found to positively influence mood and mental well-being. The therapeutic light stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that are crucial for emotional balance. It can help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Athletic Performance and Recovery

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts can benefit from red-light therapy’s ability to enhance athletic performance and expedite recovery. It boosts energy production in muscles, improves endurance, and accelerates tissue repair, allowing individuals to train harder, recover faster, and achieve optimal results. There’s a reason why it’s the choice of professional sports teams, Olympic athletes, and the US Special Forces

Hair Growth and Scalp Health

Red-light therapy can stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and thickness. It improves scalp circulation, reduces inflammation, and revitalizes dormant follicles, making it an effective treatment for hair loss and thinning.

FAQs

Red light therapy uses very low levels of heat and doesn’t hurt or burn the skin. It’s not the same type of light used in tanning booths, and it doesn’t expose your skin to damaging UV rays. red light therapies don’t cause trauma to the skin, meaning positive effects are seen without the discomfort, healing time and possible reactive swelling of traditional lasers.

There are really no major side effects of red light therapy.  , individuals who have a condition with photosensitivity like lupus or who are on medications that make them photosensitive shouldn’t use red light therapy.  pregnant women may wish to steer clear for now because red light therapy hasn’t been well studied in relation to pregnancy.

Red Light Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), stimulates cells by using low-energy light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Red light penetrates the skin 8-10mm deep. Once absorbed, the light energy is converted to cellular energy. Certain wavelengths of light can enhance mitochondrial function, which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy molecules. By improving the functioning of the entire cell, results in a number of metabolic processes like improved healing, reduced inflammation, increased production of collagen and elastin, increased circulation, and the formation of new capillaries, and increased lymphatic activity.

 

The frequency of sessions depends on the condition it is being used to treat, the severity of the condition, and if it is being used in conjunction with other complementary medicines. It is important to note that different bodies respond differently. We recommend 2 to 3 sessions a week for 4 to 6 weeks. After that, you can reduce the sessions further by switching to 1 to 2 sessions a week for 2 weeks and then reduce it to once per week. If your body responds well to the treatment, you can also play with the number of sessions

 
It is known that red and near-infrared light therapy increases mitochondrial energy production in cells. Mitochondria are tiny organelles that power all the cells in our body. The MITOchondria create more of that energy with red and near-infrared light therapy. Specific photons found in red and near-infrared light interact with cytochrome c oxidase photoreceptors in our cells. As a result of this interaction, our mitochondria use oxygen more efficiently, producing more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Adenosine triphosphate is a complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, e.g. muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis. Found in all forms of life, ATP is often referred to as the “molecular unit of currency” of intracellular energy transfer. Our cells perform better when they have more energy, and the body follows suit!

It really depends on your sensitivity. People have reported feelings of immediate relief, to a sensation of tingling, minor itching, and light aching to nothing at all. It is beneficial to note that each sensation recorded has been minor.

 

NASA, The Mayo Clinic, University of Wisconsin, Stanford University, and many medical equipment providers, such as Meditech and Quantum Devices, have all conducted clinical trials documenting the therapeutic effects of red light in the mid 600s to 800s nm range. The US Government uses Red light devices for wound healing in NASA, Military Combat, Navy Special Op’s, and Submarine service personnel. Just another proof of its effectiveness.

 

No, they are very different therapies. Red Light Therapy is Low-Level Light Therapy, which involves using red light, which is lower in energy than laser therapy. Laser Therapy stands for: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are light mechanisms that use ‘amplified’ light waves that have been concentrated into a single coherent ‘laser beam’ of the same frequency. Lasers use directional heat and photonic intensity that works when electrons become more energized, after absorbing energy from an electrical current.

 
There are a few side effects of Red Light Therapy. These are rare, minor, and usually short-lived. Redness, dry skin and swelling, eyestrain and headaches, sleep disturbance and insomnia have all been noted. Therefore determining the appropriate dose and timing of Red light is essential in order to diminish the occurrence of side effects.
Yes, Red Light Therapy is FDA approved for a growing list of conditions, including; Acne treatment, Anti-aging, hair loss and regrowth, pain relief, and weight loss.
Red light is visible (630-700nm) and near-infrared light is invisible (700 and 1200nm). As the wavelengths near-infrared light puts out are longer, this allows infrared light to penetrate deeper into the body than red light. These are really the only two differences. It should be noted, as these two light therapies differ in wavelengths, this will affect what they treat.
Yes, it should. Red Light Therapy will work for the reduction of fine lines, scarring, inflammation, and other conditions. The amount of time it takes to see visible results will vary from person to person, depending on the type of condition and its severity.
Yes. It is safe as long as it is used properly and there isn’t over-exposure. Red and blue light therapy, combined, is used for acne patients. Red and the amber light is used for wrinkle and fine line reduction or anti-aging. It should be noted, if you have Epilepsy, seizures, or are pregnant you should consult your physician prior to exposure to light therapy.
No. There are no UV rays in Red Light Therapy. Skin Cancer is caused by light exposure to UV wavelengths.
Red light will not harm your eyes. The light source produces a lot of glare. Just like you shouldn’t look directly at the sun, you shouldn’t stare directly at Red light. Research suggests that modest amounts of red and NIR LED light may benefit certain eye conditions, but our lights are very bright! Therefore, we provide goggles that should be worn when facing the lights, particularly when NIR is active. Do not stare directly into the light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We urge you to consult a licensed healthcare professional before using our Mito Red Lights if you have any eye problems or any other health conditions at all.
No. Only Red light that you can see reaching the skin can be absorbed by the skin. If there is fabric in between, the colored light will be absorbed by the fabric.
