How amazing is red light therapy?

Red light therapy  is a safe and all-natural process that encourages your body to naturally produce the enzymes, elastic fibers and collagen that support the structure of your skin. This therapy causes your skin cells to grow 200% faster than they did when you were younger. As a result, producing a younger, smoother, firmer feeling skin. Red light technology has been extensively researched and used by NASA, the Mayo Clinic, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. military and many other institutions around the world. It has been found to be effective in repairing damaged skin, treating depression, relieving pain, healing wounds, and much more without negative side effects.

How is Red Light Therapy Used?

Using red light therapy to improve skin health is relatively straightforward. Before getting started, there are, however, a few steps that you should take:

Ensure you do not have any contraindications. Not everyone should use red light therapy, and you should make sure there are no reasons that you should not use it. If you are unsure, you should check with your doctor before using it.

Learn about red light therapy. There can be wide differences in the quality of different red light sources, and there is more to it than just having a light source that is red. Be sure that you understand the quality of the products you will be using.

Ensure you have access to red light therapy. The changes that red light therapy provide are worth it but tend to be more gradual. To use red light therapy correctly, you will need to have regular access to a red light therapy panel or red light therapy belt and so on.

How often should I use red light therapy?

You can perform red light therapy on your own three to five times a week for 10 to 20 minutes each time. To significantly reduce cellulite, we recommend one to four months of treatment with red light therapy. Red light therapy works at the cellular level and is not considered a "band-aid" repair method that focuses only on symptoms, which is why a relatively longer treatment period is needed.

Red light therapy stimulates the body's regenerative process, but since skin cells take about 27 days to replicate themselves, and connective tissue cells replicate more slowly (and the cells don't all replicate at once), expect to take at least a month to see optimal results.

Can I receive too much red light therapy?

Red light therapy has no known side effects. Red light does not burn the skin or cause premature skin aging like ultraviolet light (UVA/UVB) does. However, because red light works at the cellular level and cells need time to repair and replicate, "more" is not necessarily better. Regeneration of skin and connective tissue cannot be accelerated by increasing red light sessions or proximity to the device.

To achieve the best results in cellulite reduction, combine red light therapy with smart lifestyle choices, including a healthy diet and regular exercise. In order for your cellulite reduction to be permanent, remain committed to a healthy lifestyle and an ongoing maintenance program of weekly red light therapy.

 

Benefits That Go Beyond Skin Deep

Among its many therapeutic uses, red and NIR light can also treat acne, enhance overall skin condition, treat premature skin aging, and improve skin elasticity and firmness – making it a useful tool for not only eczema treatment, but also for overall skincare. 

Countless peer-reviewed studies confirm that red light is beneficial for various health conditions, without adverse side effects.
