Red Light Therapy Dubai

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.

  • 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
  • Neck pain
  • Low back pain
  • Skin wounds and scars
  • Psoriasis, rosacea and eczema
  • Alopecia
  • Stretch marks
  • Wrinkles
  • Acne
  • Cellulite

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
