Red Light triggers the formation of small openings or pores in fat cells, which release fatty acids known as lipids. One study found that just four minutes of exposure to 635nm red light caused 80% of lipids to be released from fat cells, and by six minutes, almost all of the fat had been released.
Red Light Therapy devices work by emitting wavelengths of light, enabling it to stimulate the production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP, cellular regeneration, and remove oxidative stress. Your body’s healing process literally becomes faster because of Red Light Therapy.
Red Light stimulates fibroblast production (fibroblasts are the precursors to collagen), which will help thicken skin as well as the underlying connective tissue and restore elasticity. Once skin becomes more elastic and thicker, subcutaneous fat is more contained and less likely to push outward
Red Light Therapy stimulates blood circulation and the development of new capillaries. Because of this, more nutrients and oxygen is delivered to the skin that results in a healthier radiance. This light stimulus gives you that instant glow that people associate with healthy and young skin
Because of loss of collagen, wrinkles start to creep up on our face (or neck). Red light therapy helps boost collagen and fibroblasts production to help correct these unsightly tell-tale signs of aging.
Red Light stimulates the regrowth of neurons, which is a process known as neurogenesis. It also stimulates synaptogenesis (the formation of synapses between neurons), which influences the brain’s neuroplasticity (the brain’s natural ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.) This is especially helpful in cases of TBI where cognitive functions have been impaired. Red Light Therapy may be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program that includes behavioral and/or cognitive therapy.
Red Light has been found to be especially effective at treating hair loss; specifically, light in the 620nm (nanometer) to 660nm wavelengths work best. It works by increasing blood flow in the scalp; this stimulates the metabolism in hair follicles, resulting in the production of more hair. Red Light Therapy helps hair grow in a few ways. One, by accessing the mitochondria and stimulating fast hair cell repair and growth. Two, by promoting blood flow and circulation to the scalp and hair follicles which strengthens hair. And three, by helping reduce and prevent scalp inflammation which hinders hair growth.
During a Red Light therapy session, your eyes’ retinal cells perceive the light from the Red Light therapy device, affecting certain chemicals in your brain. These chemicals are melatonin and serotonin, and they are responsible for regulating your sleep-wake cycle. The perception of light delays your brain’s melatonin production, waking you up and lifting your mood.
The primary function of Red Light Therapy is to increase energy production. Red Light strengthens the mitochondria, the part of the cell that creates energy. By doing so, this procedure increases energy levels. The procedure also improves thyroid function.
Researchers in Brazil have been studying the effects of Red Light Therapy on the thyroid gland in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and the results have been astonishing! Most significantly, they found that all patients who received the therapy were able to reduce their levothyroxine dose, while 47% were able to discontinue levothyroxine and have normal thyroid function during the 9-month follow-up.
As light penetrates the body, a photochemical reaction is induced in the cells, a process referred to as “photobiomodulation” or “PBM”. Cascades of therapeutic chemical processes that support the body’s own innate healing capabilities are being released. Radiation of tissue with light causes an increase in mitochondrial products such as ATP, NADH, protein, and RNA. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) provides cellular energy and also fights oxidative stress. Nitric oxide is also released, which plays an important role in phototherapy pain relief.
Red Light Therapy alleviates chronic inflammation by increasing blood flow to the damaged tissues, and it has been found in numerous clinical trials to increase the body’s antioxidant defenses.
