RED LIGHT THERAPY RLT (PBMT)
Red light therapy / Photobiomodulation (PBM) Red light therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers red and near-infrared light to a person’s skin and cells.This is just like the wavelengths of light your body needs from natural sunlight, but without the heat or UV rays that cause sun damage. 5- 10 minutes per treatment area, ideally every day. For the best results
Principles of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy technically uses electromagnetic radiation (the scientific name for light or radio waves) that is applied to external body tissues. There are many types of electromagnetic radiation or other types of radiation that are used in medical treatments.
The key with the frequency with which you do red light therapy is consistency. Ideally, you should aim to use red light therapy 3-5 times each week. To ensure that you are consistent with your red light therapy sessions, you may find it beneficial to use your red light panels at a certain time of day
The effect that red light therapy has on the mitochondria may diminish with prolonged exposure, and Mito Red Light recommends sessions that are between 5 and 10 minutes per area.
BENEFITS
- Skin Health - Research suggests that red light therapy improves skin quality and health by creating an even skin tone and by improving skin elasticity and skin tone.
- Inflammation - Current research shows that red light therapy acts on mitochondria, an important factor for controlling inflammation. Studies show that red light therapy improves inflammation and the pain that it causes.
- Joint and Muscle Pain - Many people find red light therapy helpful for joint and muscle pain, whether this pain is caused by a medical condition or is exercise related. Studies show that red light therapy may reduce muscle fatigue and speed recovery after a workout.
- Immune Health - While red light therapy does not stimulate vitamin D production, research suggests that it does increase the efficacy of ultraviolet light in producing vitamin D. Vitamin D plays an important role in immune health, making this function of red light therapy an important one. You can read more about this in our article: "Red Light Therapy and Vitamin D?"
- Sleep Quality - While the research into red light therapy for sleep is less than a decade old, there are early studies that suggest it may improve the quality of sleep and make sleep more rejuvenating.
