Red Light Therapy

What Is red light therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity, potentially promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and improving various skin conditions.

how does red light therapy work?

RLT is thought to work by stimulating the mitochondria the "powerhouses" of cells. Much like the photosynthesis process in plants, these structures soak up light and convert its energy into cellular fuel. When red light shines through the body, it interacts with the mitochondria, stimulating the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy currency in our bodies. So, increased ATP production means there’s more energy within each cell. A cell with high energy is better able to perform its specialized functions, repair itself, and replicate. This process stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation, causing a ripple effect that enhances overall health and contributes to faster healing.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Pain Management

Consistent red light therapy use relieves pain in the body, including muscle pain from exercise, nerve pain, joint pain, and others. This is caused by an increase in the rapidity of energy production in the cells as a result of RLT stimulation.

Acne, wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, and psoriasis can improve with RLT. Research shows that treatment stimulates collagen production, which can slow down the aging process and in some cases even cause more youthful-looking skin. Collagen production is one of the many positive impacts of energizing and revitalizing the mitochondria.

Red Light therapy helps the body heal itself faster by stimulating the mitochondria, energizing cells to work more rapidly in pursuit of recovery. Increased collagen density, reduced inflammation, and a decrease in the proliferation of keloid fibroblasts all contribute to faster healing.

Red light therapy treatment reduces inflammation, thus helping treat a wide variety of conditions that can be exacerbated in an over-inflamed cell environment. This may potentially help reduce the onset of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and more.

Some studies suggest RLT may help with hair growth in individuals with androgenic alopecia.

What to Expect During a Session

At our clinic, Red Light Therapy is a soothing and effortless 20-minute experience. You’ll lie comfortably on a massage bed while the red light gently hovers over your body. We start with 10 minutes on your front side, then you’ll flip over for 10 minutes on your back.

This service takes place in a private room, and most clients choose to disrobe down to their undergarments to allow their skin to absorb the full benefits of the light. You’ll notice a gentle warmth during the session; completely pain-free and very relaxing. To protect your eyes, we recommend avoiding direct exposure to the light. You’re welcome to use the eye protection we provide.

20 minute session: $30

Exclusive R+|NIR+ Light Spectrum

Our Red Light includes patent-pending R+ | NIR+ spectral output featuring the seven wavelengths of 480nm, 630nm, 660nm, 810nm, 830nm, 850nm and 1060nm.

This spectral output has been perfected for human therapy use by emitting an output that matches as close as possible to the body's own coefficient of spectral absorption. By efficiently emitting as close as possible to what the body will absorb within the studied therapeutic "action zones", we're able to maximize the production of ATP and mitochondrial stimulation.

This is the science of red/NIR light therapy and one that only PlatinumLED has mastered.
