What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to enhance the body’s ability to heal and function. This therapy primarily uses red and near-infrared (NIR) light, with each frequency, energy density, and intensity carefully chosen to achieve optimal results. The light from red light therapy stimulates the mitochondria in cells, leading to increased energy production and blood flow, essential for cell and tissue repair.
Different wavelengths and their effects
- Red light (610, 660 and 670 nm) – penetrates up to 2.5 cm into the skin tissue and affects the mitochondria.
- Near infrared light (810, 830 and 850 nm) - not visible but provides heat and can penetrate deep into bones and joints.
Health Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy offers numerous health benefits that can significantly improve the quality of life. Here are some of the most notable benefits:
Skin health and anti-aging
-
Skin rejuvenation.
Red light therapy stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin. - Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. Regular use of red light therapy can help reduce skin aging.
- Improved skin texture and elasticity. The increase in collagen also improves the elasticity of the skin, which contributes to a healthier appearance.
Pain relief and anti-inflammatory
- Red light therapy helps reduce pain and inflammation, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic pain or inflammatory conditions.
Acceleration of muscle recovery
- Red light therapy can shorten muscle recovery time after exercise and improve athletic performance by increasing blood circulation.
Improving sleep quality
- Using red light therapy can help improve sleep quality and regulate circadian rhythm, leading to better overall health.
Mental Health Support
- Red light therapy may help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by promoting relaxation and well-being.
How do you use the MITO LIGHT® products?
- Set the light mode. With the MITO LIGHT® generation 3.0 you can choose from 3 modes: red, near-infrared or combined. With the MITO LIGHT® generation 4.0 you can set the intensity of the red and near-infrared light separately from each other between 0 and 100%.
- Set the time. With the built-in timer you can set the duration of your session, when the time is up the light will automatically turn off. We recommend a red light therapy session of 10 to a maximum of 20 minutes per day. (The MITO LIGHT® Bulb 3.0 and 4.0 do not have a timer)
- Start your session. Stand 15 to 50 cm away from the panel and start your red light therapy session on the control panel.
- Never look directly into the light. Use the protective glasses and keep your eyes closed when your face is directly in front of the panel.
By following these guidelines you can effectively use red light therapy to improve your health.
