Red light therapy (RLT) is a new health and longevity treatment method that has been scientifically and medically proven to treat wrinkles, redness, acne, scars and other signs of aging. It also renews, rejuvenates and “charges” cells with energy, reduces inflammation and relieves pain. Red and near-infrared (NIR) light therapy devices emit a concentrated dose of specific red and near-infrared wavelengths, which work similarly to sunlight, but without harmful UV radiation, so red light therapy has a positive effect on the regeneration of all tissues.
The RLT and NIR light device will recharge your body's "battery" in 10-20 minutes, as if you had spent several hours in the sun. Let's take a look at how this happens.
Briefly and clearly
The average European spends 90% of their time indoors. Historically, people have had a slightly greater exposure to the natural environment. People have spent more time in the sun, in the water, in the air or on the ground.
Cells The energy called ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy source for the use and storage of cellular energy. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups linked in series. ATP drives all chemical processes in the body. If you lack ATP, you feel exhausted and depressed. Higher levels of ATP drive the process in the other direction: you are happy and productive. It is understandable that there is a balance, but how to manage it?
Mitochondria are biological batteries in human cells. Red and near-infrared light , for example from the sun or Red Light devices, charges them. Red and near-infrared light devices with the wavelengths they emit create a healing effect on the body. The red spectrum is visible and is mostly absorbed by the skin. Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye. This light penetrates deeper into the body (compared to light waves of other lengths) and has a positive effect on internal organs, endocrine glands, cells and the mitochondria in them. This has been confirmed by more than 5,000 scientific studies. You can find some examples by clicking HERE.
How did your interest in red light therapy develop?
In 1993, Quantum Devices developed a light-emitting diode (LED) for NASA to use in plant growth experiments. NASA used red wavelengths to stimulate plant growth and found that red light actually increased plant growth . ( Link )
An interesting and unexpected side effect of the experiment was the discovery that scientists who were frequently exposed to intense red light noticed rapid healing of their skin lesions . NASA then began researching the use of LEDs to increase human cell metabolism and stop bone and muscle loss in astronauts , and over the years this technology has spread to the general population.
Red light therapy has already gained widespread medical acceptance in photodynamic therapy. In this therapy, low-power red laser light is used to activate a photosensitizing drug. The interaction creates a chemical reaction that destroys cells. It is used to treat a number of skin conditions, including skin cancer and psoriasis, acne and warts, and other types of cancer.
Red and near-infrared light is now used to treat a wide range of health conditions.
