Red Light Therapy = Photobiomodulation
Light is a Necessity of Life
Photo = Light + Bio = Life + Modulation = Transform
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low level laser therapy (LLLT), is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers wavelengths of red and near infrared light to the skin and cells. The term “red light therapy” refers to treatments from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that deliver specific wavelengths of Red and NIR light deep into the cells of our body and skin.
Mitochondria: Your Living Batteries
It is well documented that one of the top indicators of disease in our body stems from mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. Research has shown that Red Light Therapy helps our mitochondria perform at a more optimum level. Mitochondria are the life-yielding engines within the cell of all living things. Our mitochondria produce ATP to fuel our body and its complex functions. Our mitochondria are the batteries that allow our body to function properly. If our batteries are full, we operate better. Red light therapy stimulates ATP production within the mitochondria to help our bodies function optimally, and provide much needed energy!
Clinical studies have shown that Red Light Therapy can dramatically reduce inflammation in the body, helping with many types of diseases of the body from fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune, as well as skin conditions like eczema and acne.
Key Benefits
-
Anti Aging
Reverse the Signs of Aging
Red light therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production which erases lines and wrinkles. Red and near-infrared light therapy is a well-researched and proven anti-aging tool for skin health, providing true healing on a cellular level.
-
Muscle Recovery
Muscle Growth & Repair
Red light therapy combined with exercise is a potent combination that amplifies physical performance and helps aid in recovery. Red Light Therapy helps speed up muscle recovery after exercise and keeps you body working at optimum performance levels.
-
Reduced Inflammation - Pain Management
Red and near infrared light acts as a very mild form of stress that activates protective mechanisms in cells. When red light hits the skin and penetrates into cells, mitochondria are nudged to make energy more efficiently. This boosts the production of healing anti-inflammatories and antioxidants that speed up healing.
Red light therapy also supports arthritis and joint pain relief by improving blood flow to damaged tissues. When cells receive the healthy light they need, the whole body has the potential to work more efficiently, with improved circulation and reduced inflammation.
-
Promotes Better Sleep
Quality sleep is integral to a healthy life and science has revealed that red-light wavelengths may hold an important key to aiding in quality sleep. The natural daytime light spectrum promotes energy and wakefulness in humans, while the natural evening spectrum promotes the production of melatonin. This evening spectrum, which includes red-light wavelengths, helps humans sleep and maintain natural circadian rhythms.
-
Weight Loss and Cellulite Reduction
Since red and near-infrared light promotes and enhances blood circulation and the release of fatty acids from cells, it may very well be the best and most effective method to get rid of stubborn cellulite. Pairing exercise with red light therapy is one of the most effective ways to reduce body fat and cellulite.
-
Hair Regrowth
Within the mitochondria, red light stimulates an enzyme known as cytochrome c oxidase. This causes mitochondria to produce more energy, or Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This extra energy enables the body to repair damaged tissues and sends vital nutrients to your hair follicles, restarting the growth process
