Red Light Therapy is based on the principle of delivering light energy into cells within our body. When the light particles touch the skin, the body’s cells absorb the energy. Our cells’ energy generators (mitochondria) then produce energy as ATP to fuel our body’s activities. Aging, illness, or lifestyle factors can make the mitochondria produce less ATP. Red light therapy triggers a reaction that helps reverse the decline. But why red light? Red light therapy uses light in the red or near-infrared wavelength because this wavelength range is the best at getting through tissue and is easily absorbed by parts of the cells that capture light energy.
NOTE: While there is promising research supporting the benefits of red light therapy, it’s essential to note that the field is continually evolving, and more studies are needed to confirm and further explore its potential applications. Many individuals have reported positive experiences with red light therapy, particularly for skin and pain-related issues.
(Benefits based on published publications)
Red light therapy is known to promote collagen production and improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
It can help reduce pain and inflammation in various conditions, such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint pain while increasing the production of blood cells and cellular energy production.
Red light therapy can enhance the body's natural healing processes and may aid in the faster healing of wounds and injuries.
Some studies suggest that it may stimulate hair growth in individuals with certain types of hair loss.
Red light therapy has been explored for its potential to improve mood and alleviate symptoms of conditions like seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
It can improve blood circulation, which may have a positive impact on overall health.
For red light therapy to be effective, a few important criteria need to be accounted for:
Studies have shown the most effective wavelengths are between 630nm and 850nm. Although other wavelengths have been used, they are not as effective because they penetrate the tissue considerably less.
This means there must be enough power, as mentioned in the previous point, and it must be applied for a long enough period of time. Important thing to remember is that red light therapy effectiveness is cumulative, meaning longer treatment times and more frequent treatments may be more effective to producing lasting light results.
