Light therapy, like PEMF, is another technology that has roots in research done for NASA. Like PEMF, it is a vehicle that can stimulate energy production in our cells through the absorption of specific light waves. Light therapy was initially researched to grow plants in space;
Researchers have discovered some key properties that red light has on human health since those original studies, including increased cellular metabolism, reduced pain, and inflammation, increased circulation, reduced oxidative stress, and accelerated recovery from injury.
When red light photons are absorbed into the skin, they stimulate activity in the mitochondria, the energy centers inside cells. Then, much like plants’ behavior during photosynthesis, mitochondria soak up the light and begin producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary fuel of all cells in the human body. This leads to a chain reaction of positive effects in the parts of the body exposed to red light.
Red light exposure has been found to improve skin appearance by increasing collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It has also been beneficial in treating acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. In addition, it can help reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth.
Red and Near-Infrared light exposure has also been found to improve eye health, brain function, sleep quality, reduce pain and inflammation, and enhance tissue generation and healing.
Multiple different light wavelengths provide health benefits. Red light wavelengths tend to benefit the skin, whereas Near-Infrared (NIR) offers more systemic benefits from the inside out. Only Platinum LED, the system offered at Heim Regenerative Medicine, offers a device that delivers the optimal red and NIR wavelengths simultaneously, including 630nm, 660nm, 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm. With Platinum LED, you’re assured of enjoying the unique benefits of each wavelength.
At Heim Regenerative Medicine, you can Use PEMF or Red/Near-Infrared light treatments individually or combine the two treatments simultaneously for a powerful combination of cutting-edge technologies to supercharge your health and wellness.
