MedHouse's RLT device is designed with high-intensity red, blue, and infrared LEDs that are positioned close to the skin and activate ATP (energy within body tissues), stimulating white blood cells to repair damaged tissues and increase collagen production. Here's more: 5 BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT THERAPY By Joseph Radich, PA-C, Founder of R3 Health/MedHouse What exactly is Red Light Therapy (RLT) and how does it work? RLT is a treatment that can help skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of your body heal. The RLT device is designed with high-intensity red, blue, and infrared LEDs that are positioned close to the skin. These lights activate ATP (energy within body tissues), stimulating white blood cells to repair damaged tissues and increase collagen production.
RLT is not the same type of light that is used in tanning beds; in fact, it uses such low levels of heat – and there are no UV rays – it cannot hurt or burn the skin. Here are five known benefits of Red Light Therapy: Anti-aging effects Red light penetrates several layers of the skin and increases ATP or energy production in the mitochondria, reduces free radicals or oxidative stress, and stimulates angiogenesis or the process of new blood vessel formation. The increase in these processes enable the slowing of the aging process. Kickstart Cell Proliferation Red light therapy stimulates cellular activity which increases ATP or energy production. The excess energy leads to the regenerative process of creating new cells. It has been demonstrated in research that cells which produce keratin, collagen, cartilage, bone, as well as mesenchymal stem cells can be upregulated by the consistent exposure to Red Light. Minimizing Chronic Pain Chronic pain has become increasingly difficult to treat especially with the serious impact stemming from opioid abuse. Alternatives has been put at the forefront of development to help rectify the problem. Red light therapy has been reported to reduce chronic pain in patients with chronic lower back pain as well as more acute pain. The therapy is thought to increase serotonin and endorphin release which reduces pain signaling. Reduction of Inflammation Red Light therapy has been used in the treatment of autoimmune disorders with positive impacts on daily life. There is evidence that Red Light Therapy may help modulate the immune system particularly at the skin and joint level. It has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers by 40% in patients with the autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis. Skin Health Red Light Therapy can significantly improve skin complexion and skin feeling, skin roughness, and collagen density. It does this by activating fibroblasts, cells in your skin which produce collagen, to increase production of growth factor and procollagen. Studies have shown significant increase of collagen in the skin after 30 days of consistent treatment. In patients with excessive acne, studies have also shown that red light therapy decreases oils produced by the skin also known as sebum. This can help keep pores clear which can alleviate acne symptoms. As always, it’s important to ask your medical provider about the risks and benefits of any antidote, treatment, or procedure to learn how they may affect you, based on your medical history.
