Mitochondria
Red and near-infrared wavelengths of natural light stimulate the mitochondria in our cells to increase cellular energy (ATP) production, the energy source for all living cells, to increase energy levels, to allow cells to replicate faster, heal and recover faster, improve their function, and allow them to potentially live longer and do more.
Mood
RLT works to support beneficial and permanent changes in mood by interacting with the brain at the cellular level stimulating brain cells, increasing blood flow and oxygen to the brain, boosting serotonin and dopamine levels, and enhancing mental wellbeing.
Skin & Anti-Aging
Skin health and skin aging is one of the most prominent benefits
of RLT, as it aids in improving skin tone and texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing overall skin appearance, strength and elasticity, and stimulating collagen production. It can also be beneficial for inflammatory skin conditions like acne, rosacea, eczema, sun damage, psoriasis and scars, providing a soothing effect and promoting healing.
Pain & Joints
RLT wavelengths can penetrate joint tissues, helping to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. This non-invasive approach can improve joint mobility and quality of life for those suffering from chronic joint issues, offering a natural and effective option for joint health maintenance.
Brain
RLT has been used in studies to support healthy cognitive function
and the brain’s neuroplasticity in those with traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and other cognitive illnesses. RLT can increase blood flow and oxygenation in the brain as energy is supplied to the mitochondria, allowing for improved delivery of nutrient rich
blood to the brain.
Recovery
Red Light therapy wavelengths penetrate deep into muscle tissues, aiding in increased circulation, reducing inflammation, tissue repair, and muscle soreness. This can accelerate recovery times post-exercise and enhance muscle performance. RLT also supports mitochondria in muscle cells, which is crucial for energy production and efficient muscle function.
Sleep
RLT can have a positive effect on sleep quality, helping to regulate the body's circadian rhythms, promoting a healthier sleep cycle with improved duration and quality of sleep, increasing melatonin production, reducing cortisol levels, all being beneficial for those struggling with sleep disorders or irregular sleep patterns like insomnia.
Hair
Studies show that RLT can help improve hair loss, hair thickness, hair density, hair strength, and overall hair count due to the low- level wavelengths of light stimulating the mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress, improve circulation, and stimulating the dermal papilla cells that play a significant role in hair cycling and growth.
Eyes
Eye health can be aided with Red Light Therapy, as recent studies show that specific wavelengths, like those included at Salt n’ Sauna, may help improve vision and protect against eye diseases, which has the potential to be particularly important in an age where screen time is high and eye strain is common.
Inflammation
RLT can alleviate inflammation by stimulating and promoting good mitochondrial function and activating the body’s natural cellular responses, which helps to reduce inflammation signaling and in turn reduce inflammation associated with chronic and acute issues.
Wounds & Scars
Wound and scar healing is the first initial discovery of RLT, as RLT has positive medical effects on healing by stimulating cells to improve the healing time, to reduce pain and inflammation, whether it’s an external wound or scar on your skin or an internal wound that affects muscles or tissues.
Fat Loss
Research shows that RLT stimulates a signaling pathway in cells that destroys fat cells, and studies show that red light therapy reduces fat and improves the appearance of cellulite by absorbing the wavelengths in the cells responsible for energy, stimulating energy and activity in each cell they reach.
Is Red Light Therapy
Right For You?
Red Light Therapy could be a great option if you're seeking a natural, non-invasive treatment to improve your overall health and well-being. It has been shown to promote skin health, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing by penetrating the skin to boost cellular activity. Ideal for those dealing with conditions like joint pain, muscle recovery, or skin issues such as acne and wrinkles, Red Light Therapy offers a versatile approach to addressing a range of concerns. However, it's good to consider individual health conditions and consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this therapy is right for you.
