What is Red Light Therapy?
In photobiomodulation, red light therapy is a term which is used every day. It has proven to be very effective when it comes to healing as well as rejuvenating conditions like loss of hair, ageing, wound care, skin care, and pain relief. This therapy is 100% natural since there are no side effects.
The meaning of red light therapy that is provided to you will be dependent on whoever you are asking. It can be looked at in 2 different ways. The first perspective is that of Western traditional medicine while Eastern energy medicine is the second perspective or view.
Photobiomodulation
Western traditional medicine prefers dealing with what can be measured in the lab so as to ensure that proofs are provided to the FDA. As soon as there were great healing results discovered by NASA from red light therapy, more attention was given to it by conventional medicine. It has been over a decade and there has been lots of extensive research carried out on red light therapy. Not only has it been discovered to be effective for pain relief and anti ageing but has also been approved by FDA. Wound care applications will soon be following.
Red Light Therapy and Eastern Medicine
Eastern medicine practices also make use of red light therapy. Its focus was on the bodys energy system especially chakra zones and meridian points. Colorpuncture for instance, makes use of a red lights narrow beam in order to get acupuncture points stimulated rather than needles. Photonic Light Therapy is another brand name which carries out a similar function for animals. Red color therapy is also another name for red light therapy. It is used in getting overall vitality fuelled.
Although these two perspectives dont always agree, there is an undisputed fact which is light being energy and our body seems to be energy. Red as well as infrared light can penetrate deeply into the human body. It can be used to produce great healing results by professionals in western and eastern medicine practice. There is good news which is the fact that its healing, balancing and rejuvenating effects on your hands are the same.
How It Works
Red light which is visible can penetrate the human skin (8 - 10mm in depth). Cellular energy is what the light energy will get converted to as soon as it gets absorbed. This will stimulate the natural processes of the body naturally. Some metabolic events will be kicked off through this occurrence. Some of them are:
Increased circulation as well as forming of new capillaries
Increased activity of lymph system
Increased collagen as well as fibroblast production
Increased ATP release or raw cellular energy
Cellular clean up or phagocytosis
Stimulation of tissue granulation
Reduced inflammation
All these are going to work hand in hand to ensure that ageing is combated. The same can also be said of pain relief, healing of wounds as well as injuries.
Anti ageing is what red light therapy is majorly used for. In case, thats why youve come, you will learn more by checking out this page in order to know how to look much younger. Before going any further to check it out, note that it is possible to use red light therapy in the treatment of conditions such as:
Cold sores and herpes
Psoriasis
Eczema
Rosacea
Acne
Cuts, bruises and scrape burns
Why red LED light therapy is different?
Tighter Wavelength Span
The wavelength span of red light is tighter as compared to other forms of bulbs. An incandescent or florescent may have 600nm peak, they could have wavelengths of minus or plus 40nm. A red light however using similar peak of 600nm, useful wavelengths will only be minus or plus about 10nm. This is why most people are of the opinion that LEDs are superior when it comes to getting the necessary lights delivered for a needed application.
No heat
The heat being generated by red light therapy is minimal. This makes the technique not only convenient but also safe.
Durable and long lasting
The LED devices being produced today make use of solid state electronics as well as plastic or even metal housing. As compared to fluorescent and incandescent bulb, it is more durable and long lasting.
Compact and Portable
LEDs are very tiny and this makes them to be easily carried around with ease.
Earth Friendly
Red light therapy has been discovered to be more eco friendly as compared to those fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. This is because they usually produce similar amount of light. However, their energy consumption rate is very low.
The above are some of the reasons why LED right therapy is better than red light therapy.
It is possible to accomplish a red light therapy that is effective using any source of red light like fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, low level laser, cold laser or LED. All the lights do have their drawbacks and areas of strength. However, ineffectiveness isnt amongst any of them.
How you can get the best from a bright light therapy
Your lightbox should be 10,000 lux
A normal lamp shouldnt be used because youre trying to mimic the light which can be gotten from sunlight. Light boxes which have been made for phototherapy should be made use of. That is to say, 10,000 lux is what the light box should emit. This is about 20 times more than what the normal indoor lighting produces. In case the lux units of your lamp seem to be fewer, you can make use of it for much longer periods of time so as to get similar results.
The light box youre using should produce bright white light (full spectrum) but block ultra violet rays. About 99% ultra violet rays should be filtered out by your light box which can harm your body.
The box should be positioned at eye level. It can be slightly higher. Your light box's distance as well as position in relation to your eyes is very important.
The light box should be placed around 2feet from the eyes. In case you are using a light box that is weaker, you will have to seat near it. If your light box is about 10,000 lux, you should give around 2feet distance.
