Red Light and near Infrared Light Therapy

Red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created. The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.

Discover the power of Red Light Therapy—a cutting-edge, non-invasive, drug-free solution for optimizing your well-being. This innovative therapy harnesses red and infrared light to enhance vitality, promote healing, and rejuvenate your body from within. With proven benefits for conditions like hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes, Red Light Therapy is a powerful addition to your wellness routine.

  • Make your heart happy and healthy. A 2018 study found that sauna bathing four to seven times per week reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by as much as 58%.
  • Reduce blood pressure. Sauna heat helps widen blood vessels and improve circulation, which reduces blood pressure.
  • Optimize athletic performance. Blood flow improvements from hyperthermic conditioning (heat conditioning) sends more blood to the heart, leading to an increase in plasma and red blood cell volume. That process delivers more oxygen throughout the body, fueling athletic performance.
  • Improve muscle function and recovery. As more blood flow and oxygen is delivered throughout the body, muscles increase in size and muscle breakdown is diminished. One study showed that two, one-hour sauna sessions for seven days straight increases production of the human growth hormone (HGH) by two to five times.
  • Fuel weight loss. Regular sauna use is shown to regulate the appetite, increase metabolism, and improve oxygen utilization, helping to fuel weight loss along with a reduction in body fat.
  • Boost brain function. The brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF increases with regular sauna use, activating the growth of new brain cells, better maintaining existing cells, and improving neuroplasticity, the brain’s process for forming new neural connections.
  • Ignite your immune system. Heat exposure from sauna use increases the heat shock protein, stimulating antigen-presenting cells, along with releasing cytokine, thus stimulating the body’s natural immune system.
  • BONUS BENEFIT: improve emotional health and mood. When your body and brain are healthy, detoxified, and destressed, and you’ve boosted endorphins, your overall mood and emotional health improves.

FAQs

What is Red Light therapy?

Red Light is a safe and non-invasive technique that works by delivering concentrated wavelengths of natural red and near-infrared light into the skin all the way to the cells of the body.

How does it work?

It helps to think of red light therapy as exercise for your cells. Much like with weightlifting for your muscles and cardio for your heart and lungs, red light therapy strengthens your cells’ ability to produce energy, provokes an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant response within the cells which, simply put, makes them stronger.

Is it safe?

This therapy is not toxic, not invasive and not as harsh as some topical skin treatments. Unlike the cancer-causing ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning booths, RLT doesn’t use this type of light.

What are the health benefits of red light therapy?

  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Skin damage repair
  • Muscle recovery
  • Inflammation reduction
  • Wound healing
  • Fat loss and muscle gain
  • Better sleep
  • Depression management

What health conditions Red light can treat?

  • Osteoarthritis and joint pain

How many sessions do I need?

To see results, make sure you’re using your device the minimum recommended 3-5 times per week. Sessions should generally be between 10-20 minutes long.

Should I wear clothes in red light therapy?

Red light can only be absorbed by your skin when fully exposed. You can wear clothes during your treatment, or you can be nude. We recommend removing all jewelry that could refract light.

Is Red Light Therapy similar to tanning?

No not at all. You will not get a tan from Red Light Therapy, nor does it expose you to damaging UV rays.

Can I wear makeup in the Red Light Therapy bed?

Yes, makeup can be worn and should not affect the performance of the therapy.

I have a health condition. Can I still experience red light therapy?

For your health and safety, we recommend avoiding this treatment if you have the following conditions:

  • Pregnancy
  • Cancer
  • Hemorrhage
  • Epilepsy
  • Taking immune suppressant drugs
  • Taking photosensitive medications

What are compression boots, and how do they work?

Compression boots use sequential air compression to massage the legs, promoting circulation, reducing muscle fatigue, and accelerating recovery by flushing out waste products from the muscles.

Who can benefit from using compression boots?

Anyone can benefit, but they’re particularly useful for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals recovering from injury or surgery. They’re also helpful for people who spend long hours on their feet or sitting.

How long does a compression boot session last?

Our sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, which is generally enough time to experience the full benefits of improved circulation and reduced muscle soreness.

Is it safe to use compression boots regularly?

Yes, compression therapy is safe when used as directed. However, if you have specific health conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or severe varicose veins, please consult a healthcare professional before using them.

Do compression boots hurt?

Not at all! The pressure is adjustable, so you can find a level that feels comfortable and effective for you. Most people find it relaxing, similar to a gentle massage.
