Phototherapy

Red Light Therapy

is an every-day term for the science of photobiomodulation. It has been proven effective for a wide range of healing and rejuvenating uses including anti-aging, hair loss prevention & regrowth, skin conditions, wound care, pain relief, and much more. It is a 100% natural therapy with zero side effects. And yes, it works. Western traditional medicine likes to deal with what we can measure in a lab and prove to the FDA. Once NASA came down with undeniable wound healing results from red light therapy, conventional medicine started paying attention. Over 10 years later, red light therapy has now been thoroughly researched and FDA approved for anti-aging, pain relief and with wound care applications.

Precautions Before Beginning Red Light Therapy

While red light therapy is widely considered to be completely safe, there are a few precautions. The most common risk associated with this therapy is shining it in your eyes. Not that red or infrared light itself is damaging to your eyes, but the devices can produce high glare. Always wear eye protection or keep your eyes closed. If you are using the light for non-facial applications, such as wound care or pain relief, just be careful to not to shine the light in your eyes. Never look directly into the red light therapy device.
