Red & Infrared Light Therapy
What is Light therapy?
Light therapy, specifically Red and Infrared, is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to our bodies, which once absorbed, create a variety of benefits at the cellular level:
• Increases collagen production (skin, hair and nail rejuvenation or anti-aging)
• Increases production of melatonin in body (better sleep)
• Stimulates lymphatic system (improves release of toxins and in turns strengthens your immune system)
• Improves recovery time from sports and injuries by repairing tissue damage
• Reduces inflammation of skin and just below the skin
Light therapy has been widely researched and is supported by thousands of peer-reviewed and published clinical research papers from prestigious institutions around the world. It is also referred to as photobiostimulation, photobiomodulation, photomedicine, LED light therapy, low-level light therapy (LLLT), red light therapy, cold and soft LASER therapy. These all have the same meaning and are used to describe the delivery of light energy to treat a variety of medical and cosmetic conditions.
The treatments are non-invasive, painless, requires no recovery time, and can be used safely on all skin types.
