Red Light Therapy
Summary
What is red light therapy? Red light therapy involves having low-power red light wavelengths emitted directly through the skin, although this process cannot be felt and isn’t painful because it doesn’t produce any heat. Red light can be absorbed into the skin to a depth of about eight to 10 millimeters, at which point it has positive effects on cellular energy and multiple nervous system and metabolic processes. Red light therapy has shown promise for treating symptoms of joint pain or osteoarthritis due to aging, those caused by cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, hair loss, wounds or incisions, acne, wrinkles and skin discoloration, chronic muscular pain, neurological damage, and tissue damage (often at the root of tears, sprains or pulls). As you’ll learn, even seeing the color red is physically stimulating, primes our senses and gets our blood pumping, so imagine what red light penetrating right into your body can do. Although there is still controversy over this treatment and more research needed, according to the company Light Therapy Options LLC, there are virtually “no known adverse side effects” of red light therapy treatments, rather a growing list of many anti-aging benefits. 25 benefits of red light therapy for you and your family The benefits of red light therapy overall 100 percent natural Drug free Chemical free Non-invasive (no needles or knives) Non-ablative (does not damage the skin) Painless (does not itch, burn or sting) Requires zero downtime Safe for all skin types Safe for all ages No adverse short or long term side effects Easily self-administered in your own home FDA approved The benefits for your skin Red light therapy creates a healthy glow about your face Smooths overall skin tone Builds collagen, reducing wrinkles, including crow’s feet, under eye wrinkles, forehead wrinkles and laugh lines Speeds the healing of blemishes, like acne and rosacea Repairs sun damage Reduces redness, flushing, and broken capillaries Fades scars and stretch marks Brings more moisture to your skin Prevents hair loss and stimulates regrowth Treats a growing list of skin conditions Use these benefits for your: Acne Bites Bruises Burns (minor) Collagen production Cuts and scrapes Dry skin First aid Hair loss Psoriasis Red marks from acne Stretch marks Rosacea Flushing Scars Sun damage Wound care Wrinkles Uneven skintone The benefits for wounds, injuries and pain speeds the healing of wounds and injuries to the body speeds wound healing in even non-healing wounds improves or restores range of motion reduces inflammation and pain.
