What is Red Light Therapy?
What is Red Light Therapy?
Also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), red light therapy is 100% safe, natural, and non-invasive. It’s all about harnessing the power of light to support your body at a cellular level—promoting healing, boosting wellness, and enhancing performance from the inside out.
Our state-of-the-art red light therapy bed uses scientifically backed wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your cells, encouraging regeneration, reducing inflammation, and supporting your skin and overall vitality, without any unwanted heat or UV.
Light therapy might sound cutting-edge, but it’s rooted in ancient wisdom. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all used sunlight and firelight to treat wounds, energize the body, and fight illness. Today, we use modern LED technology to do the same, just more precisely and effectively.
From improving skin tone and reducing wrinkles to easing chronic pain and speeding up healing, red light therapy is your new go-to for holistic health.
Performance Enhancement and Faster Regeneration in Sports and Physiotherapy
For treatments in sports and physiotherapy, red light is used in combination with near infrared, to achieve both superficial and systemic deep effects. The application can increase performance, prevent muscular fatigue and accelerate regeneration. When applied before exercising, sporting performance is improved and blood circulation is boosted, as well as promoting the build-up of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the tissue, which supplies the body with additional energy. Applying immediately after exercise, it promotes the regeneration of muscles and connective tissue and increases metabolic activity, which is reflected, for example, in the accelerated breakdown of lactate
REDUCING PHYSICAL SIGNS OF AGEING (“ANTI-AGEING”)
With increasing age, blood circulation, metabolism, regenerative ability, flexibility of connective tissue and vessels as well as cell division continuously decrease. Red light and near infrared reduce these signs of ageing, in particular by activating the mitochondria to produce ATP, improving blood circulation and metabolism and optimising cell renewal.
IMPROVED COMPLEXION AND REJUVENATION OF THE SKIN
ACTIVATING FIBROBLASTS IN THE SKIN
Red light therapy has been used by cosmetic institutes and dermatologists for many years, to naturally reduce the causes of skin ageing and to improve the skin’s appearance. The light has a regenerating effect on the skin, increasing natural collagen production and elastin synthesis as well as the metabolism of skin cells (fibroblasts), which can reduce wrinkles and improve the overall appearance of the skin. In contrast to invasive treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling or injections, the skin is not injured with the light treatment. It is safe, painless and has no side effects when used properly. The light activation of the skin also improves the effectiveness of cosmetic active ingredients..
Reducing winter blues and improving sleep quality
Fatigue, exhaustion, lethargy, loss of appetite and weight gain are typical signs of the winter blues, also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Using red light and near infrared can be an effective solution to counteract winter blues and sleep disorders.
Light Spectrum
Different wavelengths reach different cell types at different tissue depths. The Revive PRO IR Laydown uses three different lights with LED technology: Red 630 and 660 nm, and aNer Infrared 850 nm. In addition full body red light is achieved through low pressure light technology and emits between 630 and 680 nm. Working simultaneously to manage a variety of skin and musculoskeletal conditions, the perfect combination of these three light spectrum's ensures that light-absorbing molecules will respond to the different wavelengths of light energy, resulting in a targeted increase in cellular activity at different tissue depths.
The whole body treatment offers systemic effects, such as the formation of ATP.
In the past, red light and near infrared applications were solely used locally because no devices were available for large-area application. Thanks to the development of high performance LEDs that can be combined to form large-area clusters, light sources are now available for whole-body application.
Large-scale application offers systemic effects in addition to local effects. These are effects not only at the site of application, but throughout the entire body. Possible systemic effects include, for example, the increased formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the mitochondria, the influence on nitric oxide and antioxidants, as well as hormonal effects via the eyes.
Due to the advantages of large-area applications and new light technologies, full-body applications will become increasingly important in the future
