Red Light Therapy
Our bodies need light in order to have proper energy flow. The sun produces the full spectrum of light; however, red light is the specific wavelength that assists our bodies with energy production at the cellular level. Red light’s properties allow it to penetrate superficial tissue to stimulate healing and regeneration.
Red Light Therapy causes vasodilation, opening the vessels to increased blood flow. This assists in reducing inflammation and encourages new blood vessel formation.
Chromatophores (photoreceptors) are located all over your body and are responsible for absorbing light, much like plants. When our bodies absorb these specific wavelengths, ATP production (energy) increases in your cell’s mitochondria. This effect can be noted on cells within the circulatory system, the nervous system, and fibroblasts, which are the most common cell type in connective tissue and are responsible for the synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy:
• Reduced joint pain
• Reduced appearance of scars
• Anti-aging effects
• Reduced inflammation
• Boosts cognitive function
• Improves skin clarity and texture
• Increased circulation
• Increased collagen production
• Increased elastin production
• Stimulates hair growth
• Improves tissue repair
• Accelerates muscle recovery
• Stimulates stem cell production
• Reduces oxidative stress
There are many forms of RLT on the market; however, Woodlands Natural Health offers the most advanced form of red light therapy, delivering five therapeutic wavelengths for deeper penetration and maximum results. It is also the strongest full body RLT on the market.
