Red is a straightforward procedure that delivers wavelengths of light to tissues in the skin and deep below. Because of their bioactivity, the red and infrared light wavelengths between 650 and 850 nanometers (nm) are often referred to as the “therapeutic window.” Red light therapy devices emit wavelengths between 620-850 nm.
These wavelengths penetrate the skin to reach damaged cells. Once absorbed into the cells, red light stimulates the function of mitochondria, also known as the “powerhouse” of the cell. For instance, mitochondria convert food into a form of energy the cell uses for everyday function. Therefore it stimulates energy production in this way helps cells recover from damage.
In addition, these wavelengths also help increase the production of nitric oxide that causes blood vessels to widen, enhances exercise and recovery, and stimulates the release of insulin and growth hormone.
Red light therapy is a fast, convenient, and non-invasive approach that treats a wide variety of conditions. One of the greatest advantages to red light therapy is that providers can combine it with almost any other treatment, including physical therapy, medicine, and even cryotherapy. Most importantly, light therapy causes little to no side effects or complications, so it is safe for almost every patient and for inclusion in nearly every treatment plan.Red light therapy may be one of the best additions you can make to your practice. Also known as photo biomodulation, Red light therapy is effective, affordable, and highly in demand by clients who want a wide variety of high quality, technically advanced treatments in a single location.
Light therapy provides a wide variety of benefits in the treatment of medical conditions and health issues, from clearing acne to managing pain, enhancing bone recovery to losing weight. Moreover, it also complements other therapies, such as cryotherapy, compression therapy and much more, for better overall therapeutic results for your patients.
