Q: WHAT IS LIGHT THERAPY?
A: Light therapy, also called phototherapy, is a therapy that uses
wavelengths of light to treat at the surface and below the surface
of the skin. Different wavelengths of light are absorbed by the body
in different ways and therefore offer a wide range of benefits. Light
therapy is a highly-effective non-invasive, chemical-free therapy that
can be used to safely and painlessly heal and rejuvenate many parts
of the body.
See
CHOOSING A MODE
on page 14 for information about the
wavelengths used in each mode, as well as the benefits provided by
each.
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RED LIGHT AND NEAR-
INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY?
A: Both red and near-infrared light are wavelengths on the
electromagnetic spectrum. Red light wavelengths, 600–700 nm
(nanometers), are absorbed at a high rate by the body's cells,
particularly the mitochondria, which use the red light to make
energy, which stimulates cell regeneration and repair. Near-infrared
(NIR) wavelengths, 760–1400 nm (nanometers), are higher on the
electromagnetic spectrum and not visible to the human eye. The
human body easily absorbs near-infrared waves up, to 1.5 inches into
muscle, fat, and joints.
Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT AND NEAR-INFRARED
(NIR) LIGHT THERAPY?
A: The benefits of red light therapy and near-infrared (NIR) therapy are
very similar, though red light therapy treats cells at the surface of the
skin and near-infrared therapy treats cells up to 1.5 inches below the
surface of the skin (your muscles, fat, joints, organs, etc.). Benefits of
red light and near-infrared (NIR) therapy:
• Improve skin appearance, including sun damage, scars (including
acne scars), burns, cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles,
• Stimulate collagen and elastin production and cell regeneration, thus
improving blood circulation to the skin and the overall appearance of
the skin, including reduced cellulite.
• Energize the lymphatic system, aiding in detoxification.
• Lose inches off the waist, hips, or other treated area.
• Decrease pain, inflammation and stiffness in joints, muscles, and
connective tissues.
• Reduce symptoms of chronic pain disorders such as tendinitis,
arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
• Boost immune system.
• Reduce symptoms of eczema and psoriasis, such as redness, itching,
flaking, and swelling.
• Improve sleep quality.
• Reduce hormonal imbalances.
• Improve mental clarity and focus.
• Reduce cortisol and increases serotonin, reducing stress and
depression.
• Promote faster recovery post-workout.
Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BLUE LIGHT THERAPY?
A: The benefits of blue light therapy include:
• Reduce inflammation, promotes circulation.
• Kill bacteria.
• Promote lymphatic drainage and detoxification.
• Improve acne and acne scarring.
• Reduce oil gland size and production.
Q: WHAT IS PULSED LIGHT THERAPY?
A: Pulsed light therapy is phototherapy that uses rapid pulses of
light to produce improved results. The light rapidly turns on and
off at a particular frequency (for example 10Hz). The frequency
is a measure of the pause between one "on" time and the next.
