More Information
Our red light panel works by emitting red and near infrared light within a certain range of wavelengths and intensity. These treatments penetrate your body to generate a number of health benefits.
With red light therapy, you expose your skin to a lamp, device, or 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. Some experts think this helps cells repair themselves and become healthier. This spurs healing in skin and muscle tissue.
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.
Many of these health benefits occur because red and near infrared light activates metabolic pathways, leading to increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), enhanced cellular signaling, and elevated protein synthesis.
Skin Care / Anti-Aging
Red Light Therapy is well known for in the context of skin care benefits. Red Light Therapy’s ability to stimulate balanced collagen production is what makes it amazing for your skin.
As we age, our body stops producing collagen. This leads to all the common signs of aging: wrinkles, sagging skin, and more. High collagen levels are critical to having soft, smooth, and firm skin.
Red Light Therapy unlike some other skin treatments does not damage your skin to induce tissue repair. It skips directly to stimulating skin repair and rejuvenation [1].
Red Light Therapy can help brighten and tighten your skin, making you look younger! Other anti-aging benefits of red light therapy include reduced undereye wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, laugh lines, and crow’s feet.
In a study of 136 people, the majority of participants noticed fewer wrinkles and fine lines, smoother skin, and improved skin appearance after using RLT. Collagen ultrasonography scans (aka what scientists used to measure the collagen in your skin) taken before and after treatments revealed significantly improved collagen density [1].
The skin care benefits that red light therapy can offer goes beyond just facial benefits, red light therapy can also help reduce scars and stretch marks. By promoting the formation of normal, healthy skin cells, RLT can improve your overall skin complexion, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
While red light therapy is not guaranteed to completely eliminate scars and stretch marks, it has been shown to lighten them and reduce any associated redness.
Red light therapy does, however, make a great preventative measure. Its wound-healing and collagen-producing benefits can prevent future scars and stretch marks from forming.
Wonderful benefits to gain from a skin care routine that doesn’t cost a bomb.
Skin Health: Treat Acne, Psoriasis, And Rosacea
Red light therapy can help. Its collagen-producing properties help promote the growth of new, healthier skin tissue. It can also help repair damage from UV rays and sun overexposure.
Red light therapy is also commonly used by people to clear up their acne.
So many acne products come with many unpleasant side effects where as red light therapy is a natural treatment that works wonders on the skin.
Red light therapy has so many wonderful benefits for your skin which can boost your self-confidence. Because red light therapy works by reducing inflammation and sebum production, it’s a great way to not only manage your latest breakout but also prevent future breakouts.
red light therapy can reduce skin redness and make sure sebum isn’t clogging up your pores and is a natural remedy that has zero side effects and is well-tolerated by all skin types! No harsh chemicals being put on your skin or in your body.
Red light therapy for psoriasis is still being studied, the preliminary findings are extremely promising.
Hair Loss: Grow Healthier, Thicker Hair
Red light therapy makes for a great alternative to hair loss medications like Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride (Propecia). Especially if you experience any of the side effects.
Men and women who use Minoxidil commonly report irritation, eczema, burning, and even worsening of hair loss. While men who use Finasteride commonly report erectile dysfunction, decreased sex drive, and sometimes breast enlargement.
Fortunately, recent human studies have shown that red light therapy can improve hair growth by over 35% in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia and best of all … No side effects or issues were reported.
Red Light Therapy works with your body, stimulating its natural growth processes instead of forcing changes to it as many medications do.
It is important to note, however, that RLT is not a miracle hair growth device. If you’re already bald, RLT will not restore your hair. This therapeutic technique requires your hair follicles to be alive for it to work.
Weight Loss: Get Rid Of Stubborn Fat And Cellulite
Losing weight can be tough. Results are slow, and it can often be discouraging seeing the same number on the scale week after week.
Clinical studies have shown that red light therapy can reduce fat and cellulite. While the “how” isn’t exactly known yet, the leading theory is that red light therapy produces small holes in fat cells, which causes lipids (the molecules inside your fat cells) to leak out [10].
In one particular study, participants who received RLT saw, on average, a 2.15cm (0.85in) reduction in waist size after two 30-minute sessions per week for four weeks.
These people were asked not to change their diet or exercise habits, so the results didn’t come from exercising more or eating healthier.
Muscle Repair
Red light therapy when used after exercise can reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and speed up muscle recovery. And, when used before exercise, RLT can improve performance and endurance.
You’ll be able to exercise harder and longer before feeling tired. Plus, you won’t feel as sore after your workouts as before!
Chronic Pain
Unlike pain medications, red light therapy doesn’t actually block pain. It works by improving the health and function of our cells, leading to a pain-free body in the long-run.
Clinical studies have shown red light therapy to relieve pain in people with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dental pain, oral mucositis (from chemotherapy), and back pain. In particular, red light therapy seems most effective in reducing joint pain.
However, it can take some time before you notice red light therapy working. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, researchers recommend a minimum of four weeks of treatment to see lasting results.
So, while RLT may not work as fast as some pain medications, it’s a natural, safe way to return your body to its optimal state without any side effects.
Wound Healing
Red light therapy can speed up the healing process, especially when it comes to slow-healing wounds like burns.
Red light therapy works by reducing inflammation, stimulating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), promoting collagen production, and boosting granulation tissue production.
Granulation tissue is a thin layer of tissue cells that your body produces to cover your wound. The faster the wound is covered, the faster your body can start repairing the damage.
While healing wounds is a less mainstream use of red light therapy, it has been used by NASA and Navy SEALs in space, during training, and under the sea. It’s also used by athletes to quicken recovery from sports injuries.
Red light therapy has a lot of benefits. Plus, it comes with zero side effects and is completely non-invasive. Red LED light devices work with your body to naturally produce long-lasting benefits.
