What is Photon / Red Light Therapy and some of it's benefits

Please wear light clothing for you're session

What is it?

NASA originally developed LED lights for plant growth experiments in space.

However, since then, LEDs have shown promising results in wound healing and human tissue growth.

Different wavelengths of light in LED lights, including blue and red, penetrate the skin at different depths. This penetration may trigger biological processes that help the skin rejuvenate and heal.

​

Red light:

Red LED light may improve scarring and signs of aging, such as wrinkles. It may do this by acting on fibroblasts, which are skin cells that are responsible for collagen production.

Collagen is a protein in the skin and other connective tissues. It plays a role in skin healing. The body produces less collagen as a person ages, which causes the skin to show signs of aging.

Red light also reduces skin inflammation.

Uses and benefits:

LED light therapy can help treat a variety of skin problems, including:

  • acne

  • dermatitis

  • dull skin

  • eczema

  • psoriasis

  • rosacea

  • scarring

  • signs of aging, including wrinkles and age spots

  • sun damage

  • wound healing

  • other inflammatory skin conditions

One of the main benefits of LED light therapy is its safety record. According to research, LED light therapy has an excellent safety profile.

It does not contain UV rays, which can be harmful to the skin. Therefore, LED therapy is suitable for regular use.

NEAR INFRARED THERAPY Benefits:

  • Dementia. In one small study, people with dementia who got regular near-infrared light therapy on their heads and through their noses for 12 weeks had better memories, slept better, and were angry less often.

  • Dental pain. In another small study, people with temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome (TMD) had less pain, clicking, and jaw tenderness after red light therapy.

  • Hair loss. One study found that men and women with androgenetic alopecia (a genetic disorder that causes hair loss) who used an at-home RLT device for 24 weeks grew thicker hair. People in the study who used a fake RLT device didn’t get the same results.

  • Osteoarthritis. One study found red and infrared light therapy cut osteoarthritis-related pain by more than 50%.

  • Tendinitis. A very small study of 7 people suggests RLT lessens inflammation and pain in people with Achilles tendinitis.

  • Wrinkles and other signs of skin aging and skin damage. Research shows RLT may smooth your skin and help with wrinkles. RLT also helps with acne scars, burns, and signs of UV sun damage.
