What is Full-Body Red Light Therapy and How Does it Work?
First, let’s cover the burning question of what red light therapy is. Also known as photobiomodulation, this non-invasive treatment uses low levels of red light to increase cellular energy activity. This powerful light penetrates the skin so our cells’ mitochondria can absorb the light and produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This helps cells to function more effectively.
As the name suggests, full-body red light therapy treats the whole body with rejuvenating red light photons. Unlike lower wavelength home devices, which provide less potent red light to localised areas, red light therapy beds, like the ones you can find at Re:nu, provide complete coverage.
When you arrive at our centre for your session of full-body red light therapy in London, our helpful team will show you how to use the red light therapy bed and talk you through the process. All you need to do is simply lie back and relax as the powerful wavelengths get to work.
Red Light Therapy Benefits
Now we understand what it is, let’s delve into the incredible benefits of red light treatment.
Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction
Whether you suffer from chronic pain, muscle soreness, or joint discomfort, red light therapy (RLT) can work wonders. By improving blood flow and increasing natural energy production in the cells, red light helps reduce inflammation and swelling, alleviating pain.
Common health conditions which can be supported with red light include:
- Joint pain and stiffness, such as arthritis
- Muscle pain after exercise
- Nerve pain and damage
- Pain associated with surgical recovery
Improved Performance and Recovery
One of the lesser-known health benefits of red light therapy is its muscle repair and recovery support. Increasingly used by athletes, gym goers, and those recovering from surgery, red light helps to speed up tissue repair and promote cell renewal so the body can heal faster.
Great for use when recovery from an injury or for enhancing performance, red light helps to:
Accelerate muscle recovery
Improve blood circulation for faster repair
Promote wound healing and minimise scarring
Enhance muscle strength and reduce fatigue
Skin Health and Anti-Ageing
Red light is most commonly associated with skin care. But just what does red light therapy do for the skin?
The benefits of red light therapy for skin include everything from specialised treatments for specific skin concerns to an overall improvement in skin health. By enhancing collagen production, increasing blood circulation to the tissues, and stimulating cellular activity, the skin benefits of red light therapy include:
- Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of ageing
- Minimising acne and preventing future breakouts
- Improving skin texture and elasticity
- Supporting the treatment of skin conditions like psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema
- Reducing stretch marks and cellulite
Mental Health and Mood Improvement
We often get asked, “is red light therapy good for mental health?” We like to think of red light as the feel-good wavelength. These powerful little light photons can encourage the body’s production of serotonin and endorphins to enhance one’s overall mood and well-being.
Red light can also have a calming effect on the body, even influencing the circadian rhythm to improve sleep quality and reduce stress. From just a single treatment, you may experience:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved mood and mental clarity
- Sense of calm and emotional well-being
- Enhanced sleep quality
