What Is Red Light Therapy?
If you think that red light therapy is a twist on color psychology and how a particular color impacts your mood, you are incorrect. Red light therapy is actually a scientific process that uses red and infrared light to stimulate your cells. It might sound like science fiction, but it is far from it. Think about the use of grow lights for plants, how they stimulate plant growth, and the process of photosynthesis. However, in this case, your body is using the boost of red light to speed up the healing process of wounds, reduce skin blemishes, and increase the speed of muscle recovery.
Who would not want to experience all these benefits and know that they are never exposing themselves to harmful chemicals or processes to enjoy these perks? It is simply an increase in specific wavelengths of light that naturally occur in the world to help increase your body’s performance and recovery. The best part of this very safe process is that you can enjoy all these benefits when you schedule your red-light therapy from your trusted medical team at The DRIPBaR in Scottsdale, AZ.
How Does Red Light Help My Cells?
Red light therapy is also known as PBM or photobiomodulation. The treatment process uses small light-emitting diodes, LEDs, to create near-infrared red light. This specific wavelength of light stimulates the mitochondria inside your cells, allowing them to produce more energy. This boost in energy production promotes increased skin health and gives the appearance of younger skin, thanks to increased collagen production. Many people use this treatment to decrease blemishes and scarring and increase skin elasticity.
Genuine Medical Benefits
In the 1990s, NASA began experimenting with red light and found that it significantly impacts wound healing and tissue repair. The light accelerates the natural function of the cells, thus allowing them to reproduce more rapidly to repair damage or heal an injury to the skin more quickly. The process is currently being used to treat wounds, burns, and other injuries. While using red light with a focus on more rapid healing, it has been found that these areas treated with red light tend to have less scarring once the damage has healed.
The Deep Healing Capability Of Red Light
The good news is that red light can heal more than damaged skin. The light can penetrate muscle layers, promoting faster healing and regenerative powers. Not only does it speed up the recovery process after a hard workout, it increases the speed of healing when there has been damage or injuries to the muscle during a particularly grueling workout.
