Red Light Therapy (photobiomodulation) is a simple, safe treatment that stimulates the body to generate health and healing at the cellular level. RLT is the application of concentrated wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate the body and supercharge cellular restoration and repair. Red Light Therapy works by boosting the energy production of your cells. Healthy, natural light stimulates the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, and enhances the cellular processes that make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy. Humans make ATP every day, and it fuels everything we do. The more energy our cells can make, the better our bodies look, feel, heal and perform. It's like a recharge for our human battery! When our cells have more energy they can repair, rejuvenate and perform their specific biological processes better, faster and more efficiently. Just like food, water and oxygen, light is an essential nutrient that our bodies require to heal and function well. The intelligent body converts this light energy into exactly what it needs to optimize and sustain us.
Red Light Therapy can be a valuable tool in achieving your health and wellness goals. Many professional sports teams now use RLT in their recovery programs to boost performance and overall health in their athletes. It's backed by thousands of peer-reviewed medical studies & clinical trials demonstrating its safe and effective benefits which include:
Red light therapy is a powerful technology that delivers the naturally occurring wavelengths of red and near infrared light to optimize cellular function. Our cells get an energy boost when they absorb natural light, especially red wavelengths at 630-670 nm and near infrared wavelengths at 808-850 nm which are the most bioavailable to humans. These wavelengths of light are absorbed by the powerhouse of the cell called the mitochondria. Every single cell in your body has mitochondria which provides energy for 90% of all cellular functions in the body. They create ATP (adenosine-triphosphate) which is the high energy fuel that powers our cells. When the mitochondria are given the proper resources they can optimize the cells to restore balance and health in the body. Utilizing our high power, professional grade LED devices, we can enhance this process so that your cells function more efficiently, rejuvenate faster, and repair damage without the harmful effects of UV rays or excess heat. Clinical research has found that this recharging of cells leads to reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, faster tissue healing, improved circulation, better sleep and mood, increased collagen production and a multitude of other natural health benefits.
Research has shown red light therapy to be a very safe and non-invasive treatment that promotes cellular regeneration, reduces inflammation and pain with no negative side effects. However, treatment may not be appropriate for the following conditions: pregnancy, epilepsy, active cancer lesions, fever/infection, hyperthyroidism and those taking photosensitive medications.
Reduced pain and inflammatory levels for acute or chronic conditions, recovery time post injury or workout, improvements in texture and appearance of skin and scars, quality of sleep and energy levels throughout the day are all good markers to track success. Best results are initially achieved with 10-15 minute sessions 3-4 times per week and then tapering off as issues improve. You may then consider RLT as part of a preventative health maintenance program at less frequent intervals to ensure your cellular health is always fully optimized and functional.
For optimal results, wear nothing! Delivering light to more surface area of your body leads to better light therapy outcomes, but being fully disrobed is not required for effective use. Lighter garments (swimsuits, underwear and socks) may be worn without hampering a treatment, though the covered areas not directly exposed to the light won’t receive full benefits. You may feel a mild, relaxing warmth from the light panels but the frequencies of light contain no harmful UVA/UVB rays that can burn or tan your skin. You can lie down in a private red light therapy room and experience a whole body treatment.
The wavelengths of red light are actually healthy and beneficial for your eyes, however you should never stare directly into the light panel as they are extremely bright. We recommend closing your eyes and meditating, practicing breath work or just enjoying a relaxing bit of quiet time. Protective glasses are available if you prefer to use them.
