Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy Mt. Shasta, CA
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is a non-invasive therapy that uses red light wavelengths to stimulate cellular function in the body. It involves exposure to low-level wavelengths of red or near-infrared light, which penetrate the skin and promote healing and rejuvenation. The therapy is believed to work by stimulating the mitochondria in cells responsible for producing energy. By increasing the activity of the mitochondria, red light therapy can boost cell metabolism, promote healing, and increase collagen production. We utilize red light therapy in our infrared sauna.
Benefits Of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy treatments are used for various purposes due to their wide range of benefits. This anti-aging treatment can:
Reduces inflammation
Red light therapy has been shown to help reduce inflammation by promoting blood flow and increasing lymphatic activity. Inflammation is a common cause of pain and discomfort, and reducing it can help to alleviate symptoms and promote healing to help identify the root cause.
Immune Support
With regular red light therapy treatments, patients can boost their immune system and achieve better overall health. Rejuvenating the body's cells improves the body's defenses, for increased protection against pathogens.
Improves skin health and appearance
Red light therapy is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and psoriasis. It is believed to work by increasing collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.
Relieves pain
Red light therapy has been shown to help reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia. It is believed to increase blood flow and promote cellular repair and regeneration.
Helps with depression and mood disorders
Red light therapy has been shown to affect mood positively and may help alleviate symptoms of depression and other mood disorders. It is believed to work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help to improve mood and reduce anxiety.
Promotes muscle recovery
Red light therapy has been shown to help reduce muscle soreness and promote recovery after exercise or injury. It is believed to work by increasing blood flow and promoting the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essential for cellular energy.
Improves sleep
Red light therapy may help improve sleep quality by increasing melatonin production, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. It may also help to regulate circadian rhythms, which can help to improve overall sleep quality and reduce symptoms of sleep disorders.
Promotes wound healing
Red light therapy has been shown to help promote wound healing by increasing blood flow and promoting the production of collagen and other cellular components. It may also help to reduce scarring and improve overall wound healing outcomes.
