One emerging type of anti-aging treatment has recently gained popularity, but has shown amazing results for years. This treatment, developed by NASA and FDA approved, is called RED light therapy. RED light therapy is characterized by infrared light, which is a unique type of light that has a stronger wavelength than other types of light. This enables it to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide many therapeutic benefits including improvement in the skin’s appearance and structure as well as relief from pain. There is NO UV light associated with Red Light Therapy.

Red Light therapy is able to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and skin problems including acne and rosacea because infrared light promotes collagen growth in skin tissue. RED light therapy has also been shown to provide relief from arthritis, chronic and acute pain, and also decrease injury healing time. Infrared light stimulates blood circulation and releases endorphins to provide a soothing effect. Infrared light also stimulates the production of ATP, an essential energy source used in body tissues that promotes rapid healing. 

Because of its amazing benefits, traditional tanning salons have begun using Red Light Therapy beds as a sort of "reverse tanning bed." This type of light therapy has become a breakthrough treatment because unlike cosmetic surgery, red light therapy is non evasive, cost-effective, and risk-free alternative to improving skin's appearance.

Similar to the Sun, infrared light provides a warming effect on the skin, but without the presence of damaging UV Rays. Recommended therapy schedules are 3-4 days per week, for 4-6 weeks. After the initial treatment schedule it is recommended to continue 1-2 days per week. With no damaging effects, only positive results, it’s no surprise that RED light therapy is a great new way to improve your appearance and health.

Aside from its cosmetic and anti-aging benefits, RED light therapy can provide relief from chronic and acute pain including muscle pain, joint pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, tissue and nerve damage, and can decrease injury healing time.

Originally developed by NASA for this purpose, RED light therapy is now used by professional athletes to promote healing with powerful results. Infrared light penetrates below the surface of skin to speed up healing time.

* Red light has the ability to stimulate the production of ATP, an important source of energy in body tissues. This allows ATP to promote rapid action by the body’s defenses.

* ATP helps to increase blood circulation, which reduces swelling and inflammation. Increased blood circulation can benefit those with high blood pressure because good circulation allows the heart to do less work.  

* Red light activated ATP stimulates white blood cells that work to repair damaged tissues, and increases collagen production that builds elasticity in the skin and can aid in wound healing.

* ATP also activates endorphins that provide soothing relief from chronic and acute pain. 

Because RED light therapy triggers the body’s own defenses, it actually treats the sources of pain and doesn’t just mask the symptoms.

* RED light therapy provides relief from pain and discomfort without the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs or surgery.
