What Is Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is photobiomodulation.
It is a wavelength of light that causes a biological reaction in several ways, through the photoreceptors in our eyes that is transmitted as a signal to our brain that affects:
Sleep
Depression
Concussion Syndrome
Very specific light wavelength that boosts electrical activity in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of our cells) to do a lot of things:
Improve mitochondria function
The release of stem cells
Reduce inflammation
Improve poor micro-circulation
Stimulate collagen production
Cause cells to release store fat into the blood stream to burn
So much more...
Sleep
Pain
Red light helps reduce pain of all types by deceasing inflammation and improving blood flow.
We even put red light on patients while in the hyperbaric oxygen chambers on painful joints and they notice immediate improvement afterward.
Red light helps promote healing and reduces pain and sensitivity.
Eye Health
Red light therapy improves eye health by reducing oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function.
We've seen patients with severe dry eyes get relief, and not have to use as much artificial tears.
It helps heal eye infections and helps release histamines from allergies causing itchy irritated eyes to provide relief.
Nerve Injury
Recent studies show the effects of RLT in peripheral nerve injury showing an immediate protective effect, boosting electrical activity in the injured peripheral nerve.
It also reduces inflammation, by reducing edema formation and inflammatory cell migration.
Regeneration of a peripheral nerve can start almost immediately after the injury.
Painful neuropathies are associated with altered mitochondria, such as in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, HIV-associated neuropathy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy.
Photochemical and photobiological effects produced at the cellular level in the mitochondria, increases the expression of neurotrophic factors and inhibits the inflammatory process.
More than 80% of the experimental studies conducted with RLT had led to a positive result in functional recovery of nerves after surgery.
Immune System
Red light therapy boosts function of the immune system by two mechanisms in which red light therapy (RLT) may reverse or prevent shrinking of the thymus:
By inducing melatonin production
Stimulation of bone marrow stem cells that can replenish the thymus
By altering thymic shrinking, red light improves immune functioning in the aging population and can even extend lifespan.
Red light also moderates lung inflammation, fibrosis, pneumonia, and acute respiratory disorders. It increases microcirculation, and lymphatic drainage to help clear out the lungs.
Red light can potentially reduce the viral load and bacterial super-infections in patients with COVID-19 infections by modulating the immune responses at multiple levels and stimulating tissue healing.
Heart Health
Fat Loss
Red/NIR light can help fat cells release stored fat into the bloodstream which is then burned off as energy. Works best when combined with exercise.
You'll see entire clinics dedicated to weight loss through red light therapy!
Bone and Joint Health
For bones:
Red/NIR light helps build stronger bones by increasing energy production in cells, increase bone factors, enhance blood vessel formation and blood flow to the affected area, modulates inflammation and enhances production of collagen. The net result = stronger bones and more collagen!
For joints:
Red/NIR light can help with joint issues (ie, osteoarthritis) by: decreasing pain, modulating inflammation, improving circulation to the joint and stimulation of healing and cellular repair mechanisms in the joint itself. These are all powerful benefits to maintain or improve joint health!
For Skin Health
Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production, repairs damage from UV rays and also promotes healing of wounds, reduces inflammation, improves the efficiency of mitochondria and facilitating DNA repair.
Red/NIR light is effective at reversing signs of aging, repairs damage from UV rays and can reduce the appearance of line wrinkles and scars.
Not only this, but Harvard professor Dr. Michael Hamblin, PhD has found that red/NIR light can:
* Enhance collagen synthesis and density
* Accelerate skin repair and wound healing
* Combat skin conditions, such as acne, keloids, vitiligo, burns, herpes virus sores and psoriasis
* Reduce cellulite
* Reduce color patches/hyperpigmentation/skin discoloration
Safe, non-invasive alternative to Botox injections, abrasive chemical peels, cosmetic surgery and dermatological visits to improve the health and vibrance of your skin.
How it affects the Brain
The brain, along with the heart and muscle, are the tissues with the greatest mitochondrial density. Mitochondria, which are extremely important for our health, longevity and energy production, respond exceptionally well to red/NIR light. Thus, the brain and overall cognitive function (i.e. Alzheimer's disease) has a great capacity to heal with RLT.
It is believed that impaired cerebral vascular perfusion is the one of the first manifestations of most brain disorders. RLT can increase the neuronal nitric oxide content, increase the vessel diameter, and improve cerebral blood flow (CBF). Therefore, it could be considered that RLT of specific areas of the brain potentially affects regional CBF.
Anxiety Depression and Stress
Studies have shown red light therapy to be a promising treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD and mood disorders. The effects on the mitochondria and inflammation lead to improved mood in most people.
Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the development of depression and anxiety by impairing neurogenesis, neuronal transmission, and synaptic plasticity necessary for successful adaptation to stressful conditions.
Alzheimers, Dementia, Stroke patients and Parkinson's Disease
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mitochondrial dysfunction is the primary problem. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes neuronal transmission, and synaptic plasticity necessary for preventing memory loss in the development of AD.
Significant improvements in sleep quality, mood states, EEG patterns, as well as improved cognitive function including memory & attention have been obtained as a consequence of red light therapy.
In Parkinson's Disease patients, improved motor and cognitive functions has been reported following 2 weeks of trans-cranial RLT. Decreased inflammation, increased memory, increased mitochondrial function and protection and increased energy. Gut health seems to be another important aspect that is positively affected by red light.
Thyroid Health
Red light therapy has been found in studies to regenerate healthy thyroid cells. This can reduce or eliminate the need for thyroid medication in many who suffer from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (hypothyroidism)
Athletic and Exercise Performance
"Sports medicine will benefit from photobiomodulation (ie, red light therapy) because both professional and amateur athletes can better recover from intense exercise, and the process also aids training regimens. In the near future, sport agencies must deal with 'laser doping' by at least openly discussing it because the aforementioned beneficial effects and the pre-conditioning achieved by laser and LED irradiation will highly improve athletic performance."
