REd Light & Near Infrared light therapy
We are not just made of biochemical matter. We are charged energy beings, constantly interacting with and reacting to our environment. Light plays a crucial role in this natural process.
Comprehensive new research has unearthed a whole new understanding about how our cells function optimally. Food is not the only way we obtain energy; we are also charged by our light environment.
Science now shows your body operates like a battery. It is powered by certain wavelengths of sunlight, and our general health is determined by our ability to receive and maintain a charge.
Science now shows your body operates like a battery. It is powered by certain wavelengths of sunlight, and our general health is determined by our ability to receive and maintain a charge.
Light at certain wavelengths is scientifically proven to interact with the body in beneficial ways.
Red light, comprising both red and near infrared wavelengths, is a uniquely healing part of the electromagnetic spectrum and it is one of the most natural ways to charge the body. It is now used as a new form of therapy under the umbrella term Photobiomodulation (PBM). PBM, after more than 50 years of extensive research has been proven as non-invasive, non-toxic and non-traumatic. There are no known side effects.
RED LIGHT
Wavelengths ranging from 600-650nm. Red light boosts the formation of collagen and elastin and assists cell communication. It penetrates superficially (up to 5mm) and is mainly used for skin conditions.
NEAR INFRARED LIGHT
Wavelengths ranging from 750-850nm. NIR stimulates healing, increases mitochondrial (energy) function and improves blood flow and tissue oxygenation. It penetrates deeper into the body (up to 10cm).

APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS
Relieve pain and discomfort - instead of suppressing the symptoms, help your body recover and fight the pain from within. By increasing blood flow, released endorphins act faster and more efficiently. At the same time, the light activates the body's innate anti-inflammatory defences and increases nitric oxide levels, which gives better management of pain mechanisms.
Revive Immunity - your immune defense works to fend off bacteria and viruses all the time. Studies have shown a variety of benefits to the immune system:
- improved melatonin production, improved antioxidant production, boosted elastin and collagen production
- Increased microcirculation enabling the transportation of immune cells
- Promotes activity in the lymph nodes
- Increases Nitric Oxide levels
- Better flow of neurotransmitters
- More efficient function of cells and organelles
- Improved thyroid function
Reduce Inflammation - RLT works by decreasing the number of inflammatory cells, increasing fibroblast proliferation (the cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen) stimulating angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), and activating the body's innate anti-inflammatory antioxidants. The following conditions are currently being investigated as highly promising targets for red light therapy:
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Sinusitis
- Muscular sprains
- Fibromyalgia
- Neuroinflammatory disorders such as alzheimers
- Irritable bowel syndrome and colitis
- Rheumatic conditions
Repair Skin - RLT is used for the rapid and safe healing of wounds from burns, surgery incisions, scars, diabetic neuropathy, ulcers and bed sores. Faster and better wound healing was one of the original findings of NASA's research and one of the key recognised uses for this technology. RLT promotes beneficial effects during all four phases of the wound-healing process.
Regain Performance - RLT has become a hot topic in sports and performance. Not only is is safe and non-toxic - it yields rapid and lasting results in many areas of application. Documented effects from RLT include:
- Reducing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
- Greater endurance and performance
- Improving sleep quality
- Increasing sexual function and libido
- Aiding weight loss
- Boosting cognitive function
- Reversing skin ageing
- Reducing cellulite
