RED LIGHT THERAPY ADELAIDE
Benefits of Regular Red Light Therapy Usage
-
SKIN HEALTH
The red and near-infrared spectrum are the best to penetrate your skin. They can travel as deep as 5mm into the epidermis. Once the skin is saturated with light, there is a boost in skin collagen, which is the main protein that gives the skin its elasticity. By increasing collagen production, this can also help to reduce pore size and smooth out fine lines & wrinkles. It has been shown to assist in reversing UV damage. When the cells have more ATP (which is produced via exposure to red light), inflammation is reduced which helps to heal swelling, acne, rosacea and eczema. Furthermore, with the increase in skin protein, repair mechanisms are triggered, helping to heal wounds, scars, burns and even cellulite.

PERFORMANCE & RECOVERY
By increasing ATP and boosting blood flow, physical performance is increased. This can give athletes an edge over their competition. These processes have an added benefit of decreasing muscle soreness, aiding in quicker recovery. Red & NIR light boosts blood flow, increasing oxygen levels and reducing nitric oxide in the blood. This helps reduce muscle soreness and speeds up recovery. The enhanced protein synthesis at the cellular level makes building muscle easier to create and maintain. The increase in ATP, oxygen-rich blood flow and protein synthesis all translate to less fatigue, enabling athletes to perform at their best. It also aids in increasing endurance, ensuring that training sessions lead to higher gains outside of competition time.

OTHER BENEFITS
Red & NIR light stimulate lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, which boost immune system function and decrease risk for viral infection. Red light exposure increases the enzyme Cytochrome C-oxidase and Nitric Oxide is lessened resulting in greater levels of ATP that power the body. The result is that more natural energy is produced by the cell and an increase in fresh blood and oxygen supply is triggered to the muscles and brain. With more cellular energy and oxygen available for the brain, sleep is enhanced and brain inflammation, which has been linked with depression, is reduced. Red & NIR light can make certain hemispheres of the brain hypoactive and help with irritability, perceived negativity (PANAS) and create positive mood.

HAIR GROWTH
Red & NIR light increase blood flow to the hair follicle, which promotes the growth phase and increases hair count.
-
PAIN SENSITIVITY
Red & NIR light increase blood flow and reduces inflammation, which reduces pressure on joints. Chronic pain, arthritis & joint stiffness is greatly reduced in the process.
-
SLEEP & CIRCADIAN RHYTHM
Red & NIR light is perfect as night time lighting, as unlike traditional artificial light sources, red light does not affect Melatonin levels (which are necessary for good quality sleep). Exposure to Red & NIR light helps balance the circadian rhythm and increase deep sleep.
-
PAIN SENSITIVITY
The increase in circulation of oxygen-rich blood to constricted blood vessels reduces inflammation which works to remove excess pressure on nerves, as well as reducing pain sensitivity, which has been found to help those living with fibromyalgia.
Red Light Therapy FAQ
Question: What is red light therapy?
Answer: Red light therapy (RLT) is a procedure that allegedly makes your skin seem better by reducing wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne. It does this by using low-wavelength red light. It is also advertised as a treatment for other illnesses. There is currently a great deal of ongoing research, the publication of tiny studies, and a great deal of discussion online about the efficacy of red light therapy for various medical conditions. Although some research findings are promising, red light therapy's full potential is still unknown.
Question: How did red light therapy become popular?
Answer: Red light therapy was initially used by NASA on plant growth in space and later on astronauts' wounds. New advances led to the exploration of additional potential applications.
Question: How does red light therapy work?
Answer: Red light therapy is supposed to function by influencing the mitochondria, or "power plant," found in your body's cells. Other cells can function more effectively with more energy by mending skin, promoting new cell formation, and improving skin renewal, for example. More specifically, some light wavelengths cause certain cells to absorb them and promote activity.
Question: What skin conditions can red light therapy being be used for?
Answer: There are several common skin problems that red light therapy is marketed as a treatment for, including:
Boost the healing of wounds.
Diminish stretch marks
Age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles are reduced.
Boost the texture of your face.
Heal eczema, rosacea, acne, psoriasis and scars.
Rehabilitate sun-damaged skin.
Aid those with androgenic alopecia in growing new hair.
Question: How effective is red light therapy?
Answer: The majority of specialists remark that they are unsure of RLT's efficacy for all of its stated purposes. The majority of people claim that additional research is necessary but that the studies that have already been published hint at some possibility for specific illnesses. Red light therapy is still a relatively new treatment, but interest in it is growing. However, the majority of uses are not currently supported by sufficient evidence.
Question: How safe is red light therapy?
Answer: At least when used briefly and as instructed, red light therapy seems to be risk-free and has no known negative effects. In comparison to various topical skin treatments, this therapy is less harsh, non-invasive, and harmful. RLT doesn't use this kind of light, unlike the cancer-causing ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning facilities.
