Red Light therapy
Red light therapy exposes your skin to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light that uses low-level wavelengths of light. Red Light Therapy produces a biochemical effect that boosts the amount of energy in cells and stimulates collagen, elastin, and blood-flow. This helps cells function more efficiently, become rejuvenated, and repair damage throughout the body.
Red Light Therapy or (RLT for short) is used to treat more then just skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, & dry skin. It can help with sun damaged skin, signs of aging, & scarring. It can also help with inflammation and pain management. Study’s show it may also help with the following:
-Dementia: A small study shown that people who used RLT on their faces & nose for 12 weeks had better memories, slept better, and were angry less often
-Dental Pain: in another small study people with TMD had less pain, clicking, and jaw tenderness after red light therapy
-Hair Loss: One study found that men and women with androgenetic alopecia who used an RLT device for 24 weeks grew thicker hair
-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
These are the most recent study’s that have shown positive results with RLT and we hope to see many more things added to this list over the next few years.
