Red Light Therapy
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, is a noninvasive and innovative treatment that uses red and near infrared wavelength light to provide a multitude of benefits without the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light used in tanning beds. Cryo Method’s state-of-the-art red light bed is fully enclosed exposing all bodily surfaces to clinically determined wavelengths to enhance natural metabolic processes and generate maximum results. Cryo Method’s red light bed is in a private room for your privacy to enhance relaxation and promote full rejuvenation.
How it Works
Light in the red and near infrared spectrum penetrate within cells and targets cellular structures call mitochondria. The mitochondria are often referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell because it is responsible for ATP production, i.e., energy production. Red light therapy enhances the efficiency of the mitochondria resulting in more energy production and fewer toxic byproducts.
Many – even hundreds - of mitochondria are found within all cells of the body (apart from red blood cells). That means more efficiently functioning mitochondria can reap benefits in different cellular types throughout the body! In fact, one theory states the functional and cognitive decline that occurs with aging is primarily due to decreased mitochondrial health.
Benefits
Promote skin healing and rejuvenation by stimulating collagen density resulting in improved complexion, softness and decreased fine lines.
Reduces skin inflammation, redness and itchiness used widely in the treatment of psoriasis and eczema.
Enhance tissue regeneration and wound healing. by enhancing vasodilation (via nitric oxide production) so injured tissue receives more blood flow, promoting oxygen delivery and waste removal.
Improve cognitive function and improved symptoms in stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, traumatic brain injury and post-concussion by enhancing vasodilation and increasing blood flow to the brain providing oxygen, nutrients and waste removal. Red light therapy also improves mitochondrial function, increasing energy production in neurons to promote repair and rejuvenation.
Enhanced recovery with improved mitochondrial function increasing energy production and decreasing waste products within the muscles to decrease pain and soreness.
Improve mood and psychiatric disorders such as seasonal effective disorder (SAD), anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder by enhancing vasodilation and increasing blood flow to the brain providing oxygen, nutrients and waste removal. Red light therapy also improves mitochondrial function, increasing energy production in neurons to promote repair and rejuvenation.
Reduce oxidative stress by optimizing cellular energy production making the process more efficient. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are created as a natural byproduct of energy production. Unfortunately, ROS cause to cellular damage and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases and the process of aging.
Mitigate disease and promote healthy aging by enhancing cellular energy production promoting the well-being of all bodily systems and thereby deterring the onset of chronic diseases including heart disease, type II diabetes, cancer, dementia, etc.
