An Introduction to Red Light Therapy
Most people are aware of the dangers of too much exposure to light, especially sunlight. Too much UV radiation can lead to skin damage and even skin cancer. However, did you know that certain types of light can actually have beneficial effects on the body? Red light therapy, a relatively recent development in the realm of health and wellness, is gaining widespread attention due to its array of potential benefits.
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy, uses a range of red and near-infrared wavelengths to deliver energy to cells. This can stimulate the body's natural healing processes, offering a non-invasive solution for various medical conditions as well as beauty and fitness enhancements.
FAQ
Red light therapy is a wellness treatment that has been gaining popularity lately.
Red light therapy is a wellness treatment that uses low-wavelength infrared LED light to treat cosmetic and medical skin conditions like acne, scars, and wrinkles. The goal of red light therapy is to stimulate healing in the body.
This non-invasive procedure is painless and likely low-risk.
Red light therapy works by affecting the mitochondria in your cells. Mitochondria are known as cell energy generators.
Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy, which is stored as the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Over time, our mitochondria produce less ATP due to changes related to aging, illness, and lifestyle factors.
Red light therapy may improve healing in the body, by stimulating your mitochondria to produce more ATP, and therefore helping your cells do their work more efficiently. For example, repairing skin, and boosting new cell growth.
Exposure to red light can also activate the cells to speed up the production of antioxidants. This results in lower levels of inflammation.
Red light therapy utilizes red light specifically because of its ability to penetrate body tissues. This type of wavelength is more easily absorbed by the parts of the cells that capture light energy. This allows the cells to better utilize red light as opposed to other types of wavelengths.
Clinically Proven Effective Red Light Technology:
- 660nm wavelength red light (visible) is effectively absorbed by the skin, promoting collagen production and accelerating wound healing.
- 850nm wavelength near infrared light (invisible) penetrates deeper to reach your bones, tissues, organs and joints, enhancing muscle recovery and reducing inflammation and joint pain.
The cellular benefits provided by the wavelengths in our products have been proven in many studies. Red and near-infrared light is energy for your cells. Exposing your body to this light enhances your cells to function as they are designed to. The human body is complex yet amazing! It is hard to predict the way your body will respond to photobiomodulation and how quickly you will see results. Your cells will decide what healing needs to take place first.
It means that the lamp beads are not defective but simply emitting light at a wavelength that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The 850nm wavelength is part of the infrared spectrum and is often used in applications such as remote controls, night vision goggles, and security cameras. While it may appear that the lamp beads are not working properly because the emitted light is not visible, this is actually a normal function of lights with this wavelength.
