What is Red Light Therapy? 

Red Light Therapy is the  process of radiating light wavelengths through the skin to stimulate your body's natural healing and regeneration processes. It is a safe and painless treatment that has scientifically proven positive biological effects on the body. In fact the body needs light to be healthy and sunlight includes a component of red light as well. This shows us that this is the wavelength of light that contributes to the same experience of enhanced well-being after being outdoors for a few hours. This red/infrared wavelength ranges from 650-850 nanometers and is often referred to as the "therapeutic window". Using red light therapy allows us to get all of the benefits of red light wavelengths without the more problematic UVA and UVB light rays that cause skin cancer and premature aging. 

When delivered in the optimal wavelengths and energy levels, red and near infrared light protect your body’s cells from nitric oxide damage, which can stop the cell’s production of ATP when you’re stressed or ill. Red light photons allow your cells to continue utilizing oxygen effectively by reducing the absorption of nitric oxide. Only red light therapy can reach into a cell’s mitochondria to support healing and regeneration to help enhance your appearance, performance, and overall well-being.

Benefits of Red/Infrared Light Therapy:

• Stimulates Hair Growth
• Improves Skin Health
• Promotes Cellular Health
• Reduces Pain
• Reduces Inflammation
• Reduces Recovery Time 
• Increases Fertility

What should I expect in my appointment?

One of our office staff will bring you to the Red Light room where you will be given a set of goggles similar to those you would put on in a tanning bed to protect your eyes. You will also be given the option to choose any music you would like and we provide  noise cancelling head phones for you. You will then lay under the lights on a massage table and just relax. Remember that the wavelengths of light have to travel through clothes and some clothes may even deflect the light. We suggest that you either wear your undergarments/swim wear, or even better, go bare! You have the option to relax and lay under the lights for anywhere from 10-30 minutes. There is a timer that sounds half way through for you to flip over if you would like. The lights automatically turn off when you are done. It is as simple as that. 

Note: The red light wavelength is extremely bright but the near infrared is actually invisible. If you have a sensitivity to the brightness and the goggles aren't protective enough for you, we are able to only turn on the infrared lights. Please let us know if you need us to provide this option to you!

How often should I use Red Light Therapy?

We suggest that you come as often as you would like! It has been proven that the more frequently you use Red Light Therapy, the greater the benefits you receive.

Red vs Infrared Light Therapy:

All wavelengths of light are able to penetrate into at least the first few layers of skin but red and infrared light are proven to penetrate the deepest into the body. Red wavelengths (620nm to 750nm) penetrate to 4mm. They are best known for stimulating collagen production, thereby making red light therapy a powerful anti-aging tool.

Near-infrared wavelengths range from 750nm to 2,500nm. The most therapeutic NIR wavelengths range from 750nm to 850nm and penetrate to 5mm. With the  ability to penetrate through the skull and reach into the brain, the 810nm wavelength offers a unique array of neurological benefits. Many forward-thinking scientists are of the belief that light therapy for brain disorders will become a prominent medical treatment in the near future. The crucial characteristic of infrared light is its ability to penetrate even the deep layers of the skin, providing better pain relief. It is safe, natural, non-invasive, and painless.
