2.How does light therapy work? Why does the body respond to light therapy ?

In short, light therapy works by improving cellular function. Every living thing needs light to produce energy and power itself. The mitochondria in our cells absorb wavelengths of light from the sun and use it to make energy and power the body with adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Light therapy treatments supplement natural sunlight with concentrated wavelengths of light. When your cells consistently get an abundance of this kind of natural light, your body performs better.Light therapy treatments with red wavelengths have been shown to enhance blood circulation, reduce pain, and help the body process inflammation. This leads to widespread health benefits, like better skin, improved sleep, more energy, faster healing, and stronger performance.

3.What does red light therapy do ?

Light therapy devices deliver concentrated wavelengths of light to the body and cells. When your cells take in an abundance of light, they’re able to produce energy more efficiently. Red light therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, which leads to numerous skin and healing benefits, as well as better muscle recovery and sleep. It can even improve hair growth.

4.What are the benefits of red light therapy ?

Potential benefits from red light therapy includes : Hand and knee pain ; Skin issues such as wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, acne treatment , inflammation and eczema ; Joint pain and arthritis ; Nerve pain and neuropathy ; Post-surgery healing ; Sport injury healing such as tendinitis, strained and torn muscles, and tennis elbow ; Wound healing ; Increasing blood flow/circulation; Hair regrowth ; Brain scalp health ; Improved sleep and emontional welness ; Cognitive enhancement ; Dogs, cats, horse and healing other pets ; and many other pain related problems !
