Why Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is a safe, all nautral process that encourages your body to naturally produce enzymes, elastin fibers and collagen that support the skin’s structure. Thus producing a younger, smoother, firmer feeling skin. Infrared light technology has been extensively researched and used by NASA, MAYO CLINIC, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, US MILITARY and many more groups worldwide. It has been found to be effective at reparing damaged skin, treating depression, relieving pain, treating wounds, killing bacteria, adding in cancer recovery and much more.

So what kind of results can you expect?

Initial Results (first 4 weeks)

Initially you will notice fine lines starting to diminish , your skinn will have a much smoother feeling to it, pigmentation of the skin will start to even out and any blemishes or acne will start diminishing.

Long Term Results (4-12 weeks)

Over time improved oxygenation and detoxification of the skin is achieved as the vascular walls of the skin’s small blood vessels are strengthened, followed by improved natural repair and creation of healthy skin. This will help restore and firm up tired looking skin, decrease fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, diminish freckles, age spots, eliminate acne, even out pigmentation, minimize the size of facial pores, improve the appearance of sun-weathered skin, and stimulate collagen synthesis. Overall improving the skin’s underlying supportive structures and making you look and feel years younger

Light Therapy for the Entire Body

Red light at 633 nanometers has a long enough wavelength to penetrate the epidermis (outermost layer of the skin) and reach the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). This enables it to reach fibroblasts, special types of cells that sit beneath the skin and manufacture collagen – a protein that helps tighten and firm the skin and heal wounds.

Red light does this by acting on the mitochondria inside fibroblasts. Mitochondria are small organelles that exist inside most of the cells in your body. They produce the cell’s energy by absorbing oxygen and other materials, as well as by producing a molecule called ATP.

Exposing the mitochondria to red light at 633nm causes a number of changes in mitochondria, particularly, it increases the mitochondrial membrane potential, allowing the mitochondria to receive signals faster. Red light also causes an increase in the production of ATP.

Mitochondria produce ATP by a process called the “electron transport chain.” One enzyme involved in that process is ‘cytochrome c oxidase.’ Cytochrome c oxidase is also a “chromophore”; i.e, a moledule that responds to the presence of light.

Since cytochrome c oxidase is a necessary part in making cellular energy, and since it is stimulated by the presence of red light at 633nm, it will respond by increasing the production of cellular energy. This increases the activity of the cells themselves, and therefore causes the fibroblasts in the skin to produce more collagen to firm, tighten, and improve the overall appearance of the treated area.
