Red light therapy (RLT) is fast gaining popularity and many people remain unaware of the potential benefits of Red light therapy (RLT).
To put it simply Red light therapy (RLT) is an FDA-approved treatment for skin rejuvenation, wound healing, combating hair loss, and helping your body heal. It can also be used as a skin anti-aging treatment. The market has been flooded with Red light therapy devices.
Red light therapy (RLT) goes by other names too. Such as:
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Low-Power Laser Therapy (LPLT)
Photobiomodulation (PBM)
The Technology Behind Red light therapy (RLT)
Red light therapy (RLT) is a true marvel of scientific innovation. You expose your skin/ body to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light. As many of us learn in school mitochondria is “the powerhouse of the cell”, this powerhouse soaks in the red light or in some cases the blue light to repair the cell. This leads to the healing of the skin and muscle tissues. Red light therapy is effective regardless of skin type or color.
Red light therapy emits light that penetrates the skin and uses low levels of heat. The process is safe and in no way hurts or burns the skin. The light emitted by light therapy devices in no way exposes your skin to damaging UV rays. The side effects of RLT are minimal.
Researchers and scientists have known about red light therapy since it was first discovered by NASA in the 1990s. Plenty of research has been done on the subject. It can help treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
Dementia
Dental pain
Hair loss
Osteoarthritis
Tendinitis
Wrinkles, skin damage, and other signs of skin aging
Red light therapy now
Red light therapy has slowly morphed from voodoo magic to a billion-dollar industry. It is the nature of all great discoveries that once the technology has been unearthed, people immediately look to profit from that discovery. Even Madam Curie discovered radioactivity, people immediately made pots and pans of radioactive substances.
The same people also looked to market radioactive products as an herbal medicine; it was only afterward once the harmful effect of radiation became more widely known that this market got shut down. Red light therapy has not suffered the same fate. It was proven to be safe for the masses and still is a safe treatment.
The simple fact is that red light therapy works quite effectively. Many companies have sprung up offering a range of diverse and charismatic red light therapy products. The Merican M6N Full Body Pod is a Red Light Therapy product that uses medical-grade LEDS and is widely used by athletes, celebrities, and people from all walks of life.
Each Red light therapy company nowadays offers a product for each part of your body; be it an led mask for your face, lamps for your skin, belts for your waist, arms, and legs, even bed for wholebody.
Some companies have perfected the technology to such an effect that they now sell products that emit infrared light that can penetrate your skin and repair cell damage, minimize or whole-fully reverse the effect of sun damage and skin aging. Most Red light devices only require 3/4 20 minutes sessions weekly to achieve the desired result.
