From skin rejuvenation to pain relief, Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive, naturopathic treatment that can revolutionize your health, appearance, and overall wellness.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy uses powerful red light (650 nm) and near infrared (850 nm) wavelengths, resulting in a relaxing therapy that promotes healing and wellness. This process is also known as Photobiomodulation.
By sending these wavelengths throughout the body, red light therapy reduces oxidative stress caused by free radicals, and stimulates the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP provides essential energy to your cells.
Red light is considered “low level” because it works at a lower energy density compared to other forms of laser therapies. Connecticut Natural Medicine has the added benefit of Clearlight® Red Light Therapy added to all of your sauna sessions.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
1. Pain Management
As a result of its analgesic (pain-relief) properties, red light therapy can alleviate pain and discomfort in target areas. It also may stimulate endorphins, which are hormones your body naturally produces for pain relief.
2. Tissue Regeneration
Because ATP encourages the production of new blood vessels and connective fibers, red light therapy can foster restoration and growth of damaged or injured tissues in the body.
3. Muscle Recovery & Conditioning
By supplementing cells with ATP, red light therapy can help muscles recuperate for optimal performance. In addition, red light therapy can enhance muscle endurance and flexibility. This is especially beneficial for athletes who need to stay at the top of their game.
4. Wound Healing
Elaborating on the benefit above, muscle recovery and conditioning can facilitate the natural process of healing wounds. This ultimately accelerates wellness and reduces recovery time.
5. Testosterone Boost
Red light therapy can assist in increased testosterone levels. Testosterone is known to aid libido, bone density, muscle mass, body composition, mood, and cognition. Higher testosterone can also improve erythropoiesis, or the production of red blood cells.
6. Reduced Inflammation
Inflammation is the root of many chronic health conditions. Red light therapy can alleviate and manage the body's inflammatory responses, potentially easing pain and promoting healing.
7. Anti-Aging Benefits
By improving cellular function, red light therapy can help smooth out skin tone and texture to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
8. Improved Brain Function
The near infrared light wavelengths allow the light to pass through the skin and reach your brain. This can have a direct impact on your brain cells to enhance ATP production and neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to form and recognize synaptic connections).
9. Skin Health
In addition to helping you look younger, red light therapy boosts the production of collagen and elastin in your skin. Collagen is key for skin, joint, and bone health, while elastin is key for tissues to stretch and recoil efficiently. This overall enhances your skin’s firmness and elasticity.
10. Relaxation and stress relief
Stress affects all systems of the body, including the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. By stepping into an infrared sauna, you’re entering a gentle, soothing, and therapeutic environment that promotes relaxation. Red light therapy can also stimulate melatonin, which is the hormone that plays a role in the wake-sleep cycle.
