RED LIGHT THERAPY
WHAT IS A RED LIGHT
Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red or near-infrared light to penetrate the skin. This therapy is designed to stimulate cellular activity, enhance the body's natural healing processes, and provide a range of health benefits. It is commonly used in wellness, beauty, and medical settings for its therapeutic effects.
Red Light Therapy has been scientifically shown to stimulate collagen production, enhance skin tone and texture, and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red light wavelengths deeply penetrate the skin, activating cellular processes that boost collagen and elastin production, resulting in a firmer, more radiant, and youthful complexion.
It helps reduce inflammation, ease joint and muscle discomfort, improve circulation, and elevate mood and energy levels. Whether you’re seeking a non-invasive, natural solution for anti-aging or a therapeutic boost for your body’s healing processes, Red Light is a powerful, rejuvenating choice.
At Brickz Health and Wellness we use PlatinumLED which stands out as a superior brand in red light therapy due to its cutting-edge technology, high power output, and focus on safety and efficacy. Our lights emit the highest amount of irradiance output than any other LED therapy light available. This means faster, better results through deeper penetration and increased power. Platinum devices are FDA-cleared medical-grade products manufactured with rigorous safety standards. This ensures their reliability and suitability
HOW DOES PEMF WORK?
Red light therapy involves exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of red or near-infrared light. These wavelengths stimulate mitochondria (the "powerhouses" of cells), increasing energy production (ATP) in the cells. This boost in cellular energy can enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall cell function. A typical session lasts between 10-20 minutes.
BENEFITS
FAQ
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to promote skin health, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular energy production.
How does Red Light work?
RLT works by penetrating the skin with red and near-infrared wavelengths of light. This stimulates the mitochondria in cells, increasing energy production (ATP), which supports healing, reduces inflammation, and rejuvenates tissues
What are the benefits of Red Light therapy?
Red light offers a wide range of benefits including:
• Boosts collagen and elastin production for healthier skin.
• Improves skin tone, texture, and reduces wrinkles.
• Reduces inflammation, joint pain, and muscle soreness.
• Enhances recovery after workouts or injuries.
• Promotes better sleep and mood regulation.
• Increases circulation and cellular repair.
How long is a Red Light session?
Sessions usually last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the device and the specific area being treated.
Is Red light safe?
Yes, RLT is considered safe when used appropriately. It is non-invasive, pain-free, and has no significant side effects. However, overexposure should be avoided, and protective goggles should be used if the eyes are exposed.
How often should I use Red Light Therapy?
For optimal results, RLT is recommended 2–3 times per week, although this can vary depending on individual goals and conditions. Consistency is key.
What can I expect during a session?
You’ll stand near a red light device while the light is directed at the target area. The process is painless and relaxing, and you’ll feel gentle warmth.
Is Red Light Therapy effective for weight loss?
RLT may indirectly support weight loss by improving metabolism, increasing energy levels, and reducing inflammation, which can enhance physical performance.
Can Red Light Therapy help with acne?
Yes, RLT can help reduce acne by calming inflammation, soothing skin, and supporting cellular repair.
Are there any contraindications for Red Light Therapy?
RLT is generally safe but should be avoided by individuals:
• Who are pregnant (consult a doctor first).
• With photosensitivity or taking photosensitizing medications.
• With certain medical conditions without physician approval.
Does it hurt?
No, RLT is painless and often described as relaxing.
