Reduce Pain & Inflammation
Red light therapy can reduce pain and inflammation by stimulating the production of energy in cells. When cells receive red light, it activates the mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cells. This results in an increase in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary source of energy for cells.
The increase in ATP production can improve cellular function, promote tissue repair, and reduce inflammation. Red light therapy has been shown to increase blood flow to the treated area, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing. It also helps to stimulate the release of nitric oxide, which can help to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.
In addition, red light therapy can stimulate the production of collagen, which is an essential protein for skin health and wound healing. By promoting collagen production, red light therapy can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as promote tissue repair.
Overall, the combination of increased ATP production, improved blood flow, and collagen synthesis can help to reduce pain and inflammation and promote healing in the treated area.
Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology studied Photobiomodulation (PBM), red and near-infrared light, and its ability to stimulate healing, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation. One of the most reproducible effects of PBM is an overall reduction in inflammation, which is particularly important for disorders of the joints, traumatic injuries, lung disorders, and, in the brain. PBM has been shown to reduce markers of M1 phenotype in activated macrophages. PBM can reduce inflammation in the brain, abdominal fat, wounds, lungs, spinal cord. Learn More >
Department of Anesthesiology, College of Medicine, University of Arizona reviewed a growing body of evidence that supports the modulation of pain by light exposure. As such, phototherapy is being increasingly utilized for the management of a variety of pain conditions. Learn More >
The Institute of Ophthalmology of the University of London has recently proved that red light improves the declining eyesight for individuals over 40. Just a 3-minute of red light of 670nm a day for 2 weeks showed significant improvement. Read the full study published 6.29.20 here >
