Infrared Technology

InfraRed

Infrared therapy has many roles in the human body. These include detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, weight loss, skin purification, lowered side effects of diabetes, boosting of the immune system and lowering of blood pressure.

• What is Red Light Therapy?

Light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is the therapeutic use of a medical grade LED light device to deliver specific frequencies of red and near-infrared light. This light can penetrate through your skin, providing benefits at a cellular level.

• How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Light therapy works on a cellular level, stimulating the mitochondria and the increasing the release of ATP (the “energy currency of life”). Beneficial frequencies of red light can be found in the mid 600 nanometer range and makes its way 8-10 mm into the skin, while healing infrared frequencies are concentrated in the mid 800 nm range and penetrates even deeper!

Benefits of infrarted Light Therapy

• Cellular Protection & Anti-Inflammation:

  By promoting antioxidant production, red light therapy can help protect your cells against oxidative stress. This can help reduce joint pain and lowers inflammation.

• Boosts Collagen Production:

  Collagen is the protein that makes our skin elastic, and its production tends to decline with age. Red light therapy improves cellular function, which regulates collagen production. Many people like to use photobiomodulation on their face, neck, and chest to strengthen the skin, and to prevent and reverse wrinkles.

• Weight Loss:

  Photobiomodulation has been shown to affect the cells that store fat, called “adipocytes,” causing the lipids to disperse, basically melting away fat! Other studies show that light may help control appetite by affecting leptin and ghrelin, the hunger and fullness hormones.

• Better Sleep:

  Melatonin is the sleep hormone produced by our bodies. Utilizing red light therapy increases your melatonin output.

• Faster Recovery:

  Red light therapy stimulates the lymph system and increases circulation. More energy, circulated more efficiently, leads to better physical performance and faster muscle recovery.

• Expedited Wound Healing:

  While most dermatologists use lasers that intentionally damage the skin to trigger rejuvenation, red light therapy directly targets the layers within to promote wound healing, tissue repair, and cell regeneration at the source (withoutcausing any damage).
