Infrared and red light therapy are non-invasive, cutting-edge technologies that use specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate natural healing processes. These therapies work by stimulating cells to produce more energy (ATP). This increased energy enhances the body's natural healing and regenerative abilities. While both therapies utilize light energy, they differ in their wavelengths and how deeply they penetrate the body:

• Red Light Therapy (RLT): Uses wavelengths between 620 and 700 nanometers (nm). These wavelengths primarily target the skin’s surface and slightly deeper tissues, aiding in skin health, circulation, and superficial muscle repair.

  
  

• Infrared Light Therapy (ILT): Utilizes longer wavelengths (700 nm to 1,000 nm or more) that penetrate more deeply into muscles, joints, and bones, making it ideal for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and promoting deep tissue healing.

Benefits of Infrared and Red Light Therapy:

• Reduces new and prolonged pain by decreasing inflammation and increasing circulation to affected areas, helping with conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, back or neck pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

  
  

• Accelerates the repair of tissues and reduces soreness in muscles, tendons, and ligaments, by promoting cell regeneration.

  
  

• Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity, texture, and tone. Reduces wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks and can even help improve acne and other skin conditions.

  
  

• Enhances blood flow to damaged tissues, promoting faster recovery.

  
  

• Loosens tight muscles and connective tissues, improving flexibility and mobility.

  
  

• Improves metabolic function when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

  
  

• Improves quality of sleep by reducing stress and balancing circadian rhythm.
