Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy is one of the biggest break through discoveries in health in half a century.
Very specific types of light have a profound impact on our health. These wave lengths of light are "Bioactive" which means that these types of light literally affect the function of our cells.
Light Therapy's Affect on our Bodies:
1. Increase your energy
2. Combat aging and make your skin healthier, reduce wrinkles, and help get rid of cellulite
3. Speed up fat loss
4. Improve muscle recovery and athletic performance
5. Improve mood and cognitive function
6. Improve metabolism and hormonal health
Red light acts on the mitochondria in our cells to stimulate increased cellular energy (ATP) production.
Near infrared acts on the same cell pathways as red light, particularly in the mitochondria in our cells to stimulate increased cellular energy (ATP) production.
Understanding how your muscles and tissues respond to treatment.
Muscles: studies have shown muscle performance and recovery from exercise.
Brain: improvements in cognitive performance and memory, improved functioning after traumatic brain injury, improved mood, improvements in certain neurological diseases ( Alzheimer's)
Nerve: Light can dull pain due to blocking conduction at nerve fibers. Anti inflammatory actions, as well as blocking P, likely plays a roll in this effect Healing: (Bones, Tendons, and Wounds) Light Therapy affects local growth factors involved in cellular repair, and inflammatory process.
Hair: Is also used in context of hair regrowth due to local blood vessel dilation and anti-inflammatory effects
Skin: Numerous beneficial effects on skin wrinkling, laxity, cellulite, collagen production, and other aspects of skin health have been found. Anti-Aging
Fat: Light can stimulate the release of fatty contents from fat cells and ultimately lead to fat loss.
