Red Light Therapy - Homegrid

Red Light Therapy, also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (660nm and 850nm) to stimulate cell function and promote healing.

This therapy has gained attention for its potential to address various health-related areas, especially cellular respiration, metabolism and anti-aging.

 

How does it work?

Red Light Therapy (RLT) works by repeatedly exposing the skin to low levels of red and infrared light for a certain period of time.

This exposure to red light produces a positive biochemical effect on cells, strengthening the mitochondria, where cellular energy is created. By increasing mitochondrial function, TLV also increases electron transport, oxygen consumption and ATP levels, allowing cells to function more efficiently, rejuvenate and repair themselves.

 

Benefits of Red Light Therapy:

• Reduction of Inflammation and Pain
• Strengthening the Immune System
• Detoxification and Stress Reduction
• Improved Skin Health
• Enhanced Cell Regeneration
• Muscle Recovery and Performance
• Neurological Support
• Improved Mood

 

Applications of Red Light Therapy:

• Skin Health: Acne, scars, wrinkles, eczema, psoriasis and general skin rejuvenation.
• Pain Management: Arthritis, muscle pain, joint pain, back pain and other types of chronic pain.
• Wound healing: Improve the healing of wounds, cuts and bruises.
• Hair Growth: Stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth in cases of thinning hair or alopecia.
• Sports Recovery: Accelerate muscle recovery, reduce inflammation and improve athletic performance.
• General Wellbeing: Support general wellbeing, immune function and stress reduction.

 

Sessions and Frequency

Continuous sessions over a period of 8 to 12 are recommended to achieve satisfactory results.

An initial approach involves 20-minute sessions, three to five times a week.

To prevent chronic symptoms, one or two weekly maintenance sessions may be recommended.

To optimise athletic performance, doing a red light session before and after exercise can be beneficial.
