Red Light Therapy: Improving Skin, Energy, and Sleep

Red Light Therapy:Improve skin, energy, and sleep
You may have heard about red light therapy and its potential to create a more youthful,
Radiant skin, but you may not be aware of all its health benefits. Red light therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses red low-level wavelength light. It has many health advantages, including pain and inflammation reduction, improved skin elasticity, skin health and radiance, increased hair growth, better sleep, and more energy.

What is red light therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) is a powerful therapeutic technique and alternative treatment method. It uses red low-level wavelengths of light for various therapeutic purposes, including wound healing, scars and other skin issues, inflammation, pain, hair growth, and sleep quality. Red light therapy was originally used in 1990 by scientists to grow plants in space because it has the ability to support photosynthesis and plant growth. Further research and experience found that the changes affect the state and function of cellular redox and positively influence their photosensitivity, leading to a range of health benefits. Today, it is widely used for the mentioned therapeutic advantages. It is used in medical settings for skin diseases, wounds, and chemotherapy side effects, in salons for cosmetic skin problems, and even in personal home environments for any desired benefits.

How does red light therapy work?

Red light therapy is a low-level laser therapy that is a form of photobiomodulation.

Photobiomodulation involves the use of light to modulate our biology. This process exposes your body to low-wavelength red lights that penetrate deep into the skin. Unlike ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, RLT is safe and does not burn the skin. You will not get a tan or sunburn; instead, you receive all the benefits of red light deep within at the cellular level when you stand or sit a few centimeters from the RLT device. This process can help increase cellular energy and antioxidants in your body. Research has shown that through red light therapy, mitochondria in skin cells are able to absorb beneficial light particles, produce more ATP energy, and are capable of supplying all cells with energy. Since your body can use this extra energy for rejuvenation and repair, this energy provided to your
cells can contribute to many positive benefits of RLT.
