Red Light
Charging the Mitochondria of the Cells
Red Light
Red light is a type of electromagnetic radiation within the visible spectrum, and it does have a specific frequency. The frequency of light is related to its wavelength; for red light, wavelengths typically range from about 620 to 750 nanometers. This corresponds to frequencies of approximately 400 to 484 terahertz (THz).
So red light has a frequency, and it is one of the many colors in the visible light spectrum!
Red light therapy (RLT) uses low-level wavelengths of red light to promote various health benefits. Here's how it works:
-
Cellular Energy Production: RLT stimulates mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. This boosts the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for cellular energy.
-
Increased Blood Flow: The therapy can enhance circulation, leading to improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, which aids in healing and recovery.
-
Reduced Inflammation: Red light can modulate inflammatory processes, helping to reduce pain and promote healing.
-
Collagen Production: RLT stimulates collagen synthesis, which is important for skin health, wound healing, and reducing signs of aging.
-
Skin Repair and Healing: It can enhance skin regeneration, improve conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema, and promote faster wound healing.
People often use devices like LED panels, handheld units, or masks to administer RLT, typically for short sessions a few times a week. While many users report benefits, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
While many people use red lights for therapy, we do not provide this for our members for medical purposes; but rather as an add-on to relax with during a Synchronicity Wave System session. Always consult with your healthcare provider, and see if red light is right for you, and you can explore different brands and get one to have one at home. Here is the brand we like. We do not get any compensation from referring you. This information is for educational purposes.
