How Does It Work?
The infrared or red light passes through the skin deep into the tissue and the cells. It stimulates the mitochondria, which are the cell's powerhouse. They produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that carries the energy the cell needs. The production of more ATP gives you more energy to work out and burn more fat.

The process also temporarily breaks down part of the cell membrane. It allows the fat in the cells to leach out into the space between the cells. The cell shrinks, and the body removes the fat through the natural waste removal process.

No Downtime
Unlike surgical procedures that will need you to take some time out to heal, red light therapy involves no downtime. Our Therapist will place lipo-wraps or contouring pads on the treatment area for 35 to 45 minutes. Depending on the recommendation, you will need about six sessions to see results. You can resume your normal activities immediately after a session.

Non-invasive
Having someone cut into your body for any reason can be scary. It is also painful, with the possibility that your body may never be the same. The invasiveness of surgery can deter you from using it to lose those few extra pounds. However, red light therapy is non-invasive. There is no pain or the possibility of scarring.

Sculpting and Contouring
Whether you increase the intensity of your workout or change your diet, some pounds refuse to go. It can be frustrating, and many people may give up. Red light therapy targets this fat in a natural and non-invasive way that changes the way your body looks. It makes your waistline smaller and tightens your hips and thighs. It sculpts and contours your body.

Red light is a popular treatment for skin concerns, especially signs of aging like wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin. Unlike UV light, which can damage the skin, red light is safe and beneficial when used correctly. Most laser therapy treatments rely on the process of secondary tissue repair. This means that they actually cause micro damage to the skin, and during the process of healing, the skin produces extra collagen.

Red light therapy does not use any damaging or invasive processes and yet its use leads to significantly improved skin complexion, an improvement in skin conditions such as acne or psoriasis, and less skin roughness.

This is because red light therapy naturally leads to an intradermal collagen density increase and improves blood circulation. Skin health and wound healing are some of the applications of red light therapy with which the results are most easily visible. These kinds of treatments usually have a very high rate of patient satisfaction.

How Does Red Light Therapy Improve Skin Health?

1. Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production
Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity. As we age, their production slows down, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Red light therapy helps stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing these proteins, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.

2. Reduces Inflammation and Redness
Skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and eczema often involve inflammation and redness. Red light therapy has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin, making it an excellent option for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

3. Enhances Wound Healing and Scar Reduction
Red light therapy has been found to accelerate the skin’s natural healing process. It promotes tissue repair and reduces the appearance of scars from acne, surgery, or injury. This makes it a useful tool in post-procedure skincare routines.

4. Improves Skin Tone and Texture
By increasing blood circulation and cellular turnover, red light therapy helps even out skin tone and improve overall texture. This can be beneficial for those dealing with sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or dull skin.

5. Supports Acne Treatment
While blue light therapy is commonly used to target acne-causing bacteria, red light therapy plays a complementary role by reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing. It can also help minimize acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Red light therapy uses photobiomodulation, which is a low-level laser therapy that delivers red and near-infrared light to areas of your body. In doing this, it helps regenerate (or grow back) cells, restore cell function and trigger blood flow. In turn, this helps to heal and relieve pain.

From major league baseball teams to elite athletes, red light therapy has become common in healing for athletes. However, it has benefits far beyond the court, pool and track. Its major benefits include improving joint mobility and easing muscle pain. More specifically, red light therapy helps with: Arthritis pain, Joint pain, Muscle pain, including healing muscle injuries and reducing soreness after exercise, Tendon pain, such as from Achilles tendonitis. Some people also experience additional advantages, including improved sleep, less stress, reduced anxiety and relief from depression.

With whole-body red light therapy, your entire body reaps the benefits of this treatment. This means if you have multiple conditions, such as arthritis and muscle pain, you can treat them at the same time. However, you can also use this therapy to treat targeted areas of your body.

One of the primary benefits of red light therapy is to treat chronic (ongoing) inflammation, which eases pain in joints and muscles. Here are some benefits of red light therapy and what you can expect with this treatment. "Chronic pain management often involves a complex blend of therapies. Red light therapy can be an incredible adjunct therapy that complements traditional treatments,” says Soorena Khojasteh, MD, system chief of pain medicine at Lankenau Medical Center. "What's more, with whole-body red light therapy, you might even treat other sources of pain you weren't focusing on."

Pelvic Floor Electrical Stimulation Therapy is a painless and effective procedure that treats urinary incontinence, frequency and urgency for both men and women. Pelvic rehabilitation is a more natural, homeopathic method used to address problems in the pelvic region. Clients can regain control of their body without the use of pharmaceuticals and invasive surgeries, and instead use pelvic floor electrical stimulation, to strengthen the pelvic region and reduce concerns stemming from their bladder.

During pelvic floor electrical stimulation, a low-grade electrical current (similar to “TENS” units used in physical therapy) stimulates the muscles to contract creating a muscular response similar to Kegels (an exercise for your pelvic floor muscles). This movement strengthens your pelvic floor muscles, which can improve urinary frequency, urgency and incontinence, and increase the strength of the pelvic floor and vaginal muscles.

Electrical stimulation involves sitting on a special chair with your clothes on, this chair emits a very low-grade, safe electrical signal to excite a set of nerves or muscles for a session of 20 to 30 minutes. This simple and effective office therapy is FDA approved and covered by most insurance companies.

This systematic approach to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can provide amazing improvements of pelvic floor dysfunction. A structured program is designed and tailored to each client’s needs to provide thorough, effective results.

Pelvic Floor Electrical Stimulation is versatile and can address several conditions, including:

Chronic pelvic pain
Constipation and fecal incontinence
Urinary incontinence and retention
Overactive bladder
Spasms of the pelvic floor muscle
Muscle weakness and relaxation of the pelvic floor
Postpartum muscle weakness
Uncomfortable intercourse (dyspareunia)

Red Light Therapy Before Workout (Pre-Workout) | 10-15min
Red light therapy pre-workout results in a wide range of advantages. It primes the muscles and tissues to endure exercise-induced physical stress by several mechanisms:

1. Increased Blood Flow and Muscle Oxygenation
Red light therapy may increase nitric oxide production, which is known for expanding blood vessels. Greater blood flow in the muscles means increased oxygenation and nutrition delivered to them, which may result in improved performance during workouts. Enhanced muscle blood flow boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery, potentially elevating workout performance.

2. Improved warm-up and muscle preparation
When RLT is used as part of the warm-up routine, muscles become more elastic and responsive, allowing superior contractions and a more efficient workout. Red light may result in higher ATP (energy currency) production at the cellular level. Increased ATP production enables the body to manage physical stress more efficiently.

3. Reduced Injury Risk
With more supple and oxygenated muscles, the rate of strains and sprains decreases. RLT can also boost joint flexibility, further diminishing the risk of injury during intense, weight-bearing activities.

Red Light Therapy After Workout (Post-Workout) | 15-30min
Red light therapy has recently exploded in popularity because of its direct importance in post-workout recovery. Here’s why injury recovery with RLT after exercises might be advantageous:

1. Decreased muscle soreness and inflammation
Many resistance exercises create micro-tears in the muscles that cause the DOMS. RLT aids in reducing inflammation and pain, prompting quicker initiation of cellular repair. Reducing inflammation may lessen soreness and further improve comfort after strenuous activity.

2. Accelerated muscle recovery and repair
After every workout, the body goes into a repair phase, where the muscles rebuild themselves. Studies have indicated that RLT enhances mitochondrial function, allowing for faster ATP production and cellular repair. This means it provides quicker recovery time between workouts and lets athletes maintain a high training frequency.

3. Enhanced clearance of metabolic waste
Exercises performed at high intensity are characterized by the buildup of metabolic wastes such as lactic acid, which causes muscle exhaustion and prolonged rest periods. RLT could improve lymphatic function, which clears metabolic waste products from the muscles more efficiently, thus hastening recovery while diminishing soreness.

How does red light therapy work to regrow hair?

Red light therapy activates dormant hair follicles and works in the following ways:

1. Boosts Cell Energy: Energizes mitochondria, leading to enhanced cellular energy and metabolism.
2. Enhances Blood Flow: Ensures more blood reaches the scalp, combating root causes of hair thinning.
3. Minimizes Inflammation: Fosters a healthier scalp and neutralizes threats like DHT, a byproduct of testosterone. Better-for-you, drug-free, non-invasive hair regrowth in the comfort of your home without the harmful side effects from drugs.

What is the Hair Growth Cycle and why does it matter?

Each of the thousands of hair follicles on your scalp undergo a hair cycle:

1. Anagen: Growth phase, lasts 2-8 years. Strong, healthy hair grows from the root.
2. Catagen: Transitional phase, lasts 4-6 weeks. Hair growth stops, detaches from the blood supply, and the follicle shrinks.
3. Telogen: Resting phase, lasts 2-3 months before restarting Anagen. Here the old hair strand falls out and the follicle lies dormant before entering Growth phase again.

Red light therapy helps stimulate your follicles and move more of your hairs into the Anagen phase to grow back thicker and healthier. LEDs are highly effective and backed by over 50 years of NASA research and thousands of studies. Clinically, both lasers and LEDs have shown to combat hair loss. LEDs, unlike lasers, cover a broader scalp surface area – ensuring a uniform, deep-reaching light energy. What matters most when it comes to hair growth is the wavelength, power, and total energy delivered to the scalp.

Is initial hair shedding a common occurrence?
Some users might observe initial shedding, signaling the replacement of old, weak hairs with thicker, healthier ones. This is actually a good sign and a natural part of the hair growth cycle. Although some notice reduced hair loss and shedding immediately, most users will witness visible results between 3 to 6 months due to the gradual nature of hair growth. You don't lose hair overnight, so you can't grow back your hair overnight unfortunately.
