What is red light?

Red light irradiation is a technology that uses far-infrared and near-infrared wavelengths of light for treatment. Some wavelengths of light are visible red, which make it is popularly known as red light irradiation.

Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy and photobiological regulation, is used to treat many skin problems, such as wrinkles, scars and stubborn wounds, as well as other diseases, such as joint, tendon and muscle pain and etc. diseases.

At the beginning of the 1990s, scientists have found that the strong light emitted by red light emitting diodes (LED) can help promote the growth and photosynthesis of plant cells, so they use red light to help plants grow in space.

Later, scientists also studied the potential application of red light in medicine, more specifically, it is to understand whether red light can increase the energy in human cells. Fortunately, researchers have found that red light is indeed an effective way to treat muscle atrophy, slow wound healing and bone density problems caused by weightlessness during space travel.

How does red light therapy work?

Red light will produce biochemical effects in cells and strengthen mitochondria. Mitochondria are the power source of cells and the energy-carrying molecule found in all living cells is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

By using red light therapy to increase the function of mitochondria, cells can produce more ATP. With more energy, cells can operate more effectively to recover vitality and repair damage.

How is red light therapy used?

Since the initial space experiment, hundreds of clinical studies and thousands of laboratory studies have been carried out to determine the medical benefits of red light therapy.

At present, there are lot of evidences that red light therapy has following benefits:

Promote wound healing and tissue repair.

Improve hair growth in androgenic alopecia patients.

Stimulate slow healing of wounds.

Helps to relieve pain and morning stiffness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the short term.

Reduce some side effects of cancer treatment, including oral mucositis.

Improve skin color, increase collagen and reduce wrinkles.

Helps repair sunburn.

Prevention of ulcer recurrence caused by herpes simplex virus infection.

Improve the joint health of patients with knee degenerative osteoarthritis.

Helps fade scars, including acne scars.

Relieve pain and inflammation in patients with Achilles tendon and elbow pain.

How safe is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is considered to be absolutely safe and painless, without known side effects. In addition, the Rouge device only emits very small EMF that are almost no record on the EMF meter.

However, it has potential risks to eyes. Although red light treatment is safer for eyes than traditional laser, appropriate eye protection equipment should always be used when receiving red light treatment, especially when irradiating the face at close range.

This is why some massage device will add the function of "red light". Although the massage device cannot achieve the therapeutic effect, it can play a very good health care role according to the same technology.

Most of Pangao neck massagers and waist massagers are all equipped with the function of red light therapy that canstimulates blood circulation and relieve body tenison. If you have long-term neck and waist soreness, pain and other problems, welcomed the consultation purchase.
