What Is Red Light Therapy?​

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, also known as red light therapy, is a treatment that involves exposing the body to low-wavelength red or near-infrared light. This light is believed to penetrate deep into the skin and tissues, stimulating cellular processes that may promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health​​

​

Mechanism of Action: 

PBM therapy works by activating mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles within cells. When red light is absorbed by mitochondria, it triggers a cascade of biochemical events that: 

• Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation

• Promote collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture and wrinkle reduction

• Stimulate blood flow and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)

• Enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration

• Increase cellular metabolism and energy production

 

Therapeutic Applications: 

PBM therapy has been studied for a wide range of conditions, including: 

• Skin disorders: Acne, eczema, psoriasis, wrinkles, skin rejuvenation

• Pain management: Chronic pain, post-surgical pain, nerve pain

• Wound healing: Diabetic ulcers, burns, surgical wounds

• Muscle and joint disorders: Arthritis, tendinitis, fibromyalgia

• Neurological conditions: Stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease

• Cosmetic purposes: Hair growth, skin tightening

​

​Not to be confused with other forms of red light therapy offered at places such as Planet Fitness or tanning salons (which only offer lightwaves at 620-700n nanometers), our medical grade, full body red/near infrared (NIR) therapy panel works by emitting red and NIR light within a certain range of wavelengths and intensity. These treatments penetrate your body to generate a number of health benefits through medical-grade irradiance at both 630 nanometers (nm), 660nm (visible red light) as well as 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm (non-visible near infrared light). These light wavelengths have been scientifically proven in hundreds of studies to provide significant therapeutic effects to several systems of the body.Many of these benefits occur because red and NIR light activates various metabolic pathways, leading to increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), enhance cellular signaling, and elevated protein synthesis.  Red and NIR therapy has been proven to be effective for a wide range of health issues, including, but not limited to the following:

Muscle Recovery
Joint Pain & Arthritis
Weight Loss
Thyroid Function
Skin Health (wrinkles, acne, wounds, complexion)
Brain Health & Cognitive Function
Anti-Aging
Mental Claritry
BoostingTestosterone
Sexual Performance
Hormonal Balancing
Sleep & Circadian Rhythm

**We recommend removing your clothes and exposing your skin during treatment for best results**
