(LLLT) Low-level laser therapy, otherwise known as Red Light Therapy, is the practice of using low energy LEDs to stimulate cellular function. This LED penetrates the skin up to 10mm deep in order to convert towards energy for your body’s cells. Wavelengths of certain frequencies can improve overall function of the cells, such as improved healing, reduction of inflammation, more elastin, more collagen, and increase metabolic functions such a circulation and the development of new capillaries.

LED Light Therapy has been shown to enhance growth and production of elastin and collagen, which both are very necessary in order to keep your skin hydrated and feeling soft. Therapy in this form can help you maintain a healthy look to your face, while working to smooth out the texture of the surface.
Studies show us that cells exposed to LEDs will actually grow between 150% - 200% faster than cells not stimulated by this light. The outcome of this is increase energy within the cells, which create an environment for accelerated growth and healing. Wavelengths at an almost infrared level penetrate the surface of the skin to increase microcirculation and the formation of new capillaries. A wounded area under these conditions would thus receive more oxygen and nutrients than without the red light therapy.
Red Light therapy promotes activity in the lymph nodes, which can boost your immune system to better prevent any possible infections. It also promotes both elastin and collagen production.
Lastly, you can also expect red light therapy to release ATP (raw cellular energy), boosting the amount of energy going towards those damaged cells in the wound so that they heal better and faster as well.
Those with rheumatoid arthritis find great relief from this type of therapy. Chronic pain that you may have in different areas can greatly benefit from sessions with Red Light Therapy.

Red LED Light Therapy is the best type of at home therapy treatment that you can get. They have the power to fade and smooth our any imperfections on your skin. The red light wavelength quickly reaches the Rosacea affected skin to absorb some of it. As more blood enters the area, there are more nutrients that can assist the exposed area along with oxygen to accelerate the healing. Results show reduction of redness, itching, and the common signs associated with Rosacea. Noticeable differences can be seen to swelling and bumps as well.
Those with eczema & psoriasis know about the discomfort brought by the excess and rapid production of skin cells. The body can produce it so much that it starts to build up and shed. This can really damage the health of your skin over the long term, which adds to the aging effects that can be seen as one gets older. Although there is no cure for psoriasis, there are many clinical results showing red light therapy as being a way to achieve relief. Psoriasis has been linked multiple times to the lack of vitamin D, which can be corrected through the use of red light therapy.
Not only can you benefit from the effects to the skin, but red light therapy can also bring positive changes toward the way the body breaks down fat cells. The metabolic boost that the body’s cells gain from red light therapy can help with the overall process of breaking down your body fat. The adipocytes that hold your body’s fat, can be made to disperse the lipids that are attached through red LEDs.
Red LED Light Therapy has shown improvements in hormonal production from the thyroid. When you body is in a state of low energy production levels, it is due to low activity in the thyroid. AKA “slow metabolism”. So, the theory is that the red light therapy, and its increase in cellular activity, can help correct this type of issue found in the thyroid.
The increase in circulation that can be gained from LED light therapy has been found to help those with restlessness issues during the night time.
It is well known that the human body reacts very much so to the lights that we are exposed to throughout the day. Different colors can strike different moods or feelings in certain people. While blue light can disturb our sleep if looked at during the nighttime, red LED light can help boost melatonin levels. Which is perfect for those with issues falling asleep.
