Red Light Therapy

When red and near-infrared light combine at specific wavelengths and in therapeutic levels, it’s known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT). PBMT involves applying red and near-infrared light to compromised tissues resulting from injury, disease, or degeneration. These clinically-determined wavelengths enhance circulation and the synthesis of cellular energy. The light is readily absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondria of body cells, activating metabolic energy processes. This promotes ATP production, improving energy transport within cells, ultimately enhancing healthy cell function and proliferation.

PBMT enhances the body’s natural metabolic processes, reducing the harmful effects of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, associated with issues from wrinkles to serious diseases like diabetes and cancer, results from an excess of free radicals in the body. Photobiomodulation therapy aids in metabolizing these free radicals, reducing the damage they inflict. This boost in the body’s natural healing mechanisms reduces inflammation, facilitates tissue repair, enhances muscle performance, expedites recovery, and alleviates pain. PBMT is safe and effective therapy, free from known adverse effects.
