Red Light Therapy Benefits
Inflammation and Pain Relief: Light therapy treatments help your body’s natural inflammation process as you recover from illness or injury. Red light therapy also
supports arthritis and joint pain relief by improving blood flow to damaged tissues.
Improved Blood Flow: One of the potential benefits of light therapy is a significant increase in blood circulation following treatment sessions.
This indicates tissues are receiving more oxygen and other nutrients that are important for healing. At the same time, light helps the body and circulatory system rid itself of toxic byproducts.
Sleep Optimization: Healthy light intake is essential for sleep and maintaining natural circadian rhythms.
Our brains interpret light as a sign of when to be awake and asleep, and when to make crucial sleep hormones like melatonin.
Bright blue light at night can knock your sleep cycle out of whack, but red light is a lower-intensity alternative that can help support longer, more restful sleep.
Recovery, Healing, and Performance: Light therapy is widely used by trainers and pro athletes to improve fitness, boost physical performance,
and support the recovery process. Muscle cells require a great deal of energy, and grow and strengthen through a process of tears and repairs.
Light therapy helps your body produce and use energy more efficiently.
Supporting circulation and inflammation reduction with light therapy can also help you heal and recover after injuries and workouts.
Skin Health and Beauty: Taking in healthy light is crucial for skin health. Red and NIR light promotes balance across the body and skin by enhancing cellular respiration,
making energy production more efficient, with less oxidative stress.
Why Choose Red Light Therapy?
Pain-free: Red light therapy causes no pain. In fact, it is known to temporarily relieve pain as well as speed up healing time.
Drug and chemical free: The fact that red light therapy involves no drugs or chemicals whatsoever is a huge plus.
The typical risks and side effects that come with drug and chemical exposure are not an issue in red light therapy.
Allows for adjunct treatment: Often, people don’t find adequate relief or results from any one particular therapy,
be it medication or a procedure or a lifestyle change. One particularly helpful feature of red light therapy is that it does not conflict or interact with most other treatments.
Non-invasive: Red light therapy requires nothing invasive. The light is applied to the outside of the body.
Sometimes, surgeries or other invasive procedures are unavoidable. But at least those using red light therapy don’t have to deal with invasive procedures to use it.
Non-ablative: While some laser treatments are ablative, meaning they involve damaging tissue, red light therapy is non-ablative.
This means that on average, has fewer risks and side effects. It is more gentle and safe and it requires zero downtime.
It’s natural: Red light therapy causes reactions on a cellular level that make your own body heal itself.
