Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) and Near Infrared (NIR) has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function in cells. “Just like plants use sunlight to heal and grow, our body is able to harness specific wavelengths of light and turn them into cellular energy. This, in turn, stimulates your body’s natural healing processes.”
RLT increases mitochondrial function and collagen production. Studies reveal that red light heals age-related macular degeneration of the eyes and also shows a wide range of hormone benefits in both men and women. Making energy more efficiently throughout your body improves physical function, speeds the healing process, and lowers inflammation & pain, as demonstrated in peer-reviewed studies.
A typical session lasts between 15 – 30 minutes, it may be recommended you engage in multiple sessions depending on your needs. Redlight works best when interacting directly with the skin. Our private and secure “redlight room”, allows patients to use redlight at their individual comfort level of clothing. Clean towels are provided. Redlight therapy is often paired with a cold therapy (cold plunge and/ or a heat therapy such as infrared sauna. This type of treatment is typically recommended in conjunction with other treatment modalities like counseling, or psychotherapy.
