Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy (also called photo biomodulation) is a non-toxic, non-invasive and gentle therapy form that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin, supporting a variety of wellness applications.

NASA originally developed this therapy to promote plant growth in space and then to help heal wounds in astronauts. Since then, red light technology has been extensively studied and is known to work by delivering specific wavelengths of red (620–660nm) and near-infrared (810–850nm) light through the skin, where it is absorbed by the mitochondria – the energy centres of cells. Research suggests that red and near-infrared light may enhance cellular metabolism and promote overall wellness by supporting natural biological processes.

Today is widely used to support with the following:

  • Skin rejuvenation, anti-ageing and wrinkles – this occurs through the increase of fibroblast production which in turn stimulates collagen production. This gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity. Research has shown a reduction of stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, improved facial te              xture and age spots with regular use.
  • Skin conditions like redness, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, warts and eczema. This includes improvement to scars and sun-damaged skin and is facilitated by the increased blood circulation and hence nutrition to the tissue as well as its capacity to reduce inflammation in cells and tissues.
  • Muscle recovery following exercise, injury or post-surgical healing, facilitating faster recovery.
  • Chronic back pain, tendonitis, ligament disorders, joint pain and inflammation rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis of the knee have all been shown to be supported by regular use of red-light therapy.
  • Stimulation of hair growth and alopecia.
  • The prevention of recurrence of cold sores from the herpes simplex virus.
  • Deeply restful sleep.
  • Energy levels and general well-being through enhanced cellular metabolism.

How does it work?

The photochemical reaction triggered by light exposure is similar to the process of photosynthesis in plants, whereby light energy is converted into chemical energy that fuels enhanced cellular activity. This light exposure may support mitochondrial function and assist in the natural production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that stores and transports cellular energy. By promoting healthy ATP production, red light therapy may help support cellular vitality, recovery, and overall function.

With more energy, cells can do their work more efficiently, doing things like repairing skin, resolving inflammation, boosting new cell growth and enhancing cellular rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb these red light wavelengths and are stimulated to be more active.
