What is red light infrared therapy?
It is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that harnesses high-powered LED technology to rejuvenate the body at the cellular level. Whether you want to improve your skin, ease aches or boost overall wellness, the therapy is used for a wide range of beauty and health goals.
What are the benefits of red light therapy?
These are the benefits red light therapy is associated with. Results vary from person to person, and this is a wellness service, not medical care, so talk to your doctor first if you have a medical condition.
- Anti-aging and skin health. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, which may reduce fine lines and sagging and improve texture and tone. It may also help fade scars, sun damage and acne.
- Pain relief and recovery. It penetrates deep into muscles and joints and may speed tissue repair, which is why it is popular for sore muscles, joint pain and post-workout recovery.
- Energy and mood. It stimulates mitochondrial activity, which may bring more energy and mental clarity and help with stress.
- Hair growth support. It increases blood flow and stimulates the hair follicles.
- Better sleep. Red and near-infrared light may help regulate your circadian rhythm and increase melatonin production.
- Less inflammation. It may help reduce inflammation at a cellular level and aid healing.
- Circulation. It increases nitric oxide production, which improves blood flow and oxygen delivery.
- Weight management. Studies suggest it may support metabolism and fat loss.
- Hormone balance. It may help regulate hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, cortisol and thyroid function.
- Immune function. It stimulates cellular repair and may reduce oxidative stress.
Can red light therapy help with hair growth?
Red light therapy increases blood flow and stimulates the hair follicles, which may encourage thicker, healthier hair growth and reduce hair loss and thinning over time.
How often should I do red light therapy?
For best results we recommend 3 to 5 sessions per week for the first 4 to 6 weeks, followed by 2 to 3 sessions per week for ongoing maintenance. Consistency is key, because the benefits build over time.
