WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY TREATMENT?
What is Red Light Therapy treatment?
In this therapy, LED light source is placed near the skin, allowing the light energy (photons) to penetrate tissue where it interacts with chromophores located in cells resulting in photophysical and photochemical changes that lead to alteration at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels of the body.
Light induces a complex chain of physiological reactions in diseases and damaged tissues to:
✓ Increase circulation
✓ Reduce acute inflammation
✓ Reduce acute and chronic pain
✓ Accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration
✓ Help restore normal cellular function
Interestingly, recent research indicates that light can enhance performance in normal tissues and cells.
