LED & Infrared (Red) Light Therapy

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy involving infrared and red light utilizes specific wavelengths of light to promote various therapeutic effects on the body. Here’s a breakdown of each type of light therapy:

Red Light Therapy (RLT) - Red light therapy uses wavelengths in the range of 620 to 700 nanometers (nm). - It penetrates superficially into the skin, reaching the dermis layer. - Benefits may include promoting collagen production, improving skin tone and texture, reducing inflammation, and aiding in wound healing. - It’s often used for cosmetic purposes such as anti-aging treatments, as well as for pain relief and improving circulation.

Infrared Light Therapy - Infrared light therapy utilizes wavelengths longer than visible light, typically in the range of 700 to 1000 nm. - It penetrates deeper into tissues, reaching muscles, joints, and bones. - Benefits may include reducing pain and inflammation, accelerating healing of muscles and joints, and improving circulation. - It’s commonly used for treating musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains, and joint pain.

Combined LED Therapy - Some devices combine both red and infrared light therapy, offering a broader spectrum of benefits that target both superficial and deeper tissues. - These combined therapies may be used for overall skin rejuvenation, pain management, and enhanced cellular repair.

LED light therapy devices are non-invasive and typically emit light through a panel that is placed close to the skin. Sessions can vary in duration depending on the specific condition being treated and the device used. This type of therapy has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits across a range of medical and cosmetic applications.
