Contrary to Cryotherapy, Infrared Light therapy is not seen by the naked eye and penetrates deeper than the 3 layers of skin down to the muscular and tissue layers. Infrared light is absorbed by special receptors in our body called photoreceptors found in each cell. Once the light is absorbed, it creates a metabolic process that causes the mitochondria in the cell to increase more ATP. This then helps the entire body with overall function, energy, and cellular repair.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Infrared light increases the production of nitric oxide that aids in better circulation and better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to each cell. This allows for faster recovery and healing of tissue injury and decreasing inflammation. This process combats free radicals in the body to better prevent oxidative stress.
- Helps in reducing inflammation and pain throughout the body.
- Helps with blood circulation increasing oxygenation to tissues and skin.
- Aids in speeding up healing and can decrease skin conditions such as wrinkles, scarring, acne, and hair loss.
- Helps improve memory health and may prevent memory loss and dementia.
- Helps improve mental conditions such as anxiety and depression.
Sonnalux Infrared Red Light Bed
Red Light Therapy, or Photobiomodulation, is an FDA-approved treatment originally discovered by NASA. Using specific wavelengths of light, we can stimulate the bottom layer of the skin’s dermis to boost the production of collagen and heal tissue.
