What is Red Light Therapy?

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red light therapy is thought to work by stimulating the mitochondria in your cells. Mitochondria are tiny organs in each of your cells; these subcellular organs are primarily known for being the part of the cell that produces all of the cell’s energy. They do, however, also play an important role in reducing inflammation in the cell and regulating how long the cell lives.
Red light therapy actually uses both red, visible wavelengths of light, and infrared, invisible wavelengths. The specific wavelengths that red light therapy uses are thought to be absorbed by a molecule in the mitochondria called cytochrome C oxidase.This molecule is part of the electron transport chain, a group of molecules that perform a series of chemical reactions that result in energy production in the cell. Stimulating cytochrome C oxidase is likely to improve energy output in cells and may be the primary cause of the benefits of red light therapy.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
- Anti-inflammatory and analgesic, enhance the secretion of enkephalin, lasting analgesia
- Promote blood circulation, improve microcirculation, promote self-regulation mechanism
- Effectively improve the activity of various enzymes in the organism
- Enhance the conversion and absorption of lacking elements
- Enhance immune function
- Promote growth, development, reproduction and repair
What diseases can infrared physiotherapy lamp treat?
Infrared physical therapy lamp is the most ideal physical therapy apparatus for contemporary families, hospitals, medical offices and clinics.

It is also proven to be quite safe by the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for testing various objective indicators in animals. No side effects.
Important Notes
- The irradiated part can be completely naked during treatment, also can contact the intimate clothing, when irradiating the face, should take protective measures for both eyes, wear goggles to avoid dry eyes.
- Do not use fasting, timely hydration. The duration of the treatment is 20-30 minutes, 1-3 times a day, with less time for children.
- Therapeutic instrument should prevent violent vibration, moisture, pay attention to the protection of the plate, irradiation head temperature, to avoid burns.
- In order to ensure the safety of use and extend the life of electromagnetic wave therapy instrument, after use that turn off the power, to prevent strong vibration, moisture, pay attention to protect the paint layout. Electricity safety first!
- Illumination distance should not be too close, spacing 30-40 cm, forbidden to use within 20 cm spacing, otherwise skin burns (such as redness or blisters) or accidentally touch the paint plate; adjust the light should also be careful to prevent burns.
