What is Red Light therapy?
Red light therapy, or infra-red therapy, is a form of phototherapy, which involves being exposed to specific wavelengths of light using various light sources. Red light therapy penetrates deeper into the skin than other light wavelengths and is believed to help rejuvenate skin. Red light is also commonly used to treat skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, as well as help ease pain and even accelerate the healing of wounds. Red Light Therapy or AfterGlow is the stage 2 treatment offered by Wellaholic.
A Brief History of Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT), has a long and interesting history. The therapeutic effects of light have been known for centuries, but the use of red light specifically for therapeutic purposes dates back to the early 20th century.
In the 1960s, scientists discovered that certain wavelengths of light could stimulate biological processes in living tissues. This discovery led to the development of lasers, which used focused beams of light to cut, burn, or destroy tissue. Over time, scientists also discovered that lower levels of light energy could have therapeutic effects on living tissues without causing harm.
The first red light therapy devices were developed in the 1980s and used for the treatment of non-healing wounds in astronauts. The low-gravity environment of space was found to slow down the body’s natural healing processes, and red light therapy was used to help speed up wound healing and tissue repair.
In the following years, red light therapy was studied and developed for various medical and cosmetic applications. It was found to be effective in treating pain, reducing inflammation, improving skin health, and promoting hair growth, among other benefits.
Today, red light therapy is widely used in medical and cosmetic settings, and there is ongoing research into its potential uses and benefits. As technology advances and more is learned about the interaction between light and living tissues, the future of red light therapy looks promising.
“Red Light Therapy helps to rejuvenate our cells, allowing them to work more efficiently and effectively.”
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Unlike other wavelengths, red light is absorbed into the skin to a depth of about 10mm where it can heat and positively affect cells within the body. Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation.
What are the Benefits?
Infrared LED light therapy uses concentrated beams of light to help remove skin blemishes, especially on the face. In general, infrared light therapy uses a combination of red light and infrared light to promote skin health because the Light-emitting diode (LED) lights emit light at red and infrared wavelengths to help wound healing. The red light helps stimulate healing, which can treat acne scars, rosacea, age spots and blemishes caused by broken capillaries. Infrared therapy tends to be used to treat wrinkles and other problems caused by poor skin support, such as translucent skin or coarse skin.
There are many benefits of red light therapy treatment. It has been shown that the red light can increase circulation and therefore oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the skin, as well as increase the activity of fibroblasts, which aid the production of collagen and elastin. The improved circulation can reduce inflammations and aid lymphatic drainage which clears waste products away from the skin. It can also promote the production of DNA and ATP (cell energy).
Red light therapy treatment can, therefore, be used to treat or complement treatment of a number of conditions. From reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to soothing psoriasis and eczema. When treated using an appropriate light source and regimen it can work very successfully, with noticeably results very quickly.
