Understanding the Benefits of RLT

What is Red Light Therapy?

RLT is a procedure that promotes the recovery of muscle, skin, and other body parts. You are subjected to low-intensity red or near-infrared light. Your body interprets infrared light, a type of energy that your eyes cannot detect, as heat. Infrared light and red light are similar, however red light is invisible.

RLT is also known as, among other things:

  • Low-level laser light therapy
  • Low-power laser therapy
  • Non-thermal LED light
  • Soft laser therapy
  • Cold laser therapy
  • Biostimulation, photonic stimulation
  • Photobiomodulation and phototherapy

It is believed that oxidative stress is what leads to the majority of diseases and degenerative conditions. Additionally, it contributes to the inflammatory response to both acute and long-term damage. Numerous studies conducted over the past 20 years have shown that chronic inflammation brought on by oxidative stress can result in chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological issues, and pulmonary disease.

RLT has been used to treat pain, inflammation, and oedema for nearly four decades. Red Light’s effects, as scientifically defined, are photochemical, similar to photosynthesis in plants. Light decreases oxidative stress and raises ATP when applied at the proper power, frequency, and application duration. As a result, cell metabolism improves and inflammation decreases. Light is absorbed at the cellular level, lowering oxidative stress and thereby treating the source of inflammation.

How Does RLT Work?

How Does RLT Work?

RLT involves exposing your skin to a red-light lamp, device, or laser, this causes a metabolic reaction in cells that enhances the mitochondria. Mitochondria, also known as the “power generators” of your cells, absorb it and use it to produce more energy. This, according to some scientists, helps cells repair themselves and grow healthier. This promotes skin and muscular tissue repair. ATP is the energy-carrying chemical found in all living creatures’ cells (adenosine triphosphate).

RLT improves mitochondrial function, allowing a cell to produce more ATP. Cells can perform more efficiently, regenerate themselves, and repair damage with more energy.

RLT differs from a laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies in that it does not cause skin surface damage. Laser and pulsed light therapies work by inducing tissue restoration by causing controlled damage to the skin’s outer layer. RLT avoids this unpleasant process by boosting skin renewal directly. RLT emits light that penetrates around 5 millimetres beyond the skin’s surface.

The skin is not injured or burned by red light therapy since it employs very low levels of heat. It is not the same type of light used in tanning salons, and it does not expose your skin to UV rays that are harmful to your skin.

Is Red Light Therapy safe

What are the possible side effects?

Are there any red light therapy dangers? Even though researchers aren’t clear on how or why the red light treatment works, it’s usually thought to be safe. There are also no hard and fast guidelines about how much light to use. Too much light can harm skin tissue, while too little can make it less effective.

When administered in a regulated medical setting, RLT is both safe and painless.
On the internet, there are stories of people using Red Light systems in tanning salons and gyms who have suffered from burns and blisters. Burns were reported in a few people after they fell asleep with the unit on, while others were burned by damaged wires or gadget corrosion. There’s also a chance that your eyes will be damaged. Although less harmful to the eyes than typical lasers, red light therapy requires proper eye protection.

What to expect?

What to expect?

The NovoTHOR Whole Body Light Pod can now give RLT to the complete body. It is now the sole system in use in the United Kingdom. You may now get a full-body light treatment that targets inflammation and accelerates repair in just 15 minutes.
The THOR LX2 Control Unit and its three probes can also be used for direct nerve application and trigger point therapy. These help to relieve musculoskeletal pain by reducing pain and relaxing muscle spasms. These sessions last about 10-15 minutes at each site, such as the hip, knee, or ankle.

How many treatments will be required?

That is dependent on you and your body reacting to the treatments, Because each person’s condition is unique, so is their treatment plan.
However, when it comes to RLT, there are certain general guidelines to follow. Acute injuries and inflammation, such as muscle strains and sprains, cuts, bruises, and burns, usually recover quickly and heal in two to four sessions. Long-term, chronic conditions may require as many as ten sessions to achieve significant results, with weekly or bi-weekly sessions required to maintain those results.
If you are sick or have the following symptoms, your treatment session may be postponed.
  • Severe cold or flu
  • Chest infection
  • Runny nose
  • Sickness (nausea)

What will I feel?

Although RLT does not heat tissue, it does stimulate circulation, which causes a warming sensation.
Patients have reported the following outcomes, these may not apply to everyone and they are not intended to imply, promise, represent, or assure that anyone will attain the same or similar outcomes. If any of these occur, please inform our doctor or nurses:
Increased energy, improved sleep patterns, improved mood, improved skin clarity and tone, improved bowel function, decreased oedema of limbs, greater energy, increased mental clarity, and an increased general sense of well-being After treatment, some customers may suffer moderate weariness, pain, or aches. If the responses don’t go away after 24-48 hours.

Scientific Case Studies

In this section, you will find an array of scientific case studies.

RLT promotes wound healing

Red light therapy has been utilised to treat wounds with a relaxing effect. In rodent models, studies have demonstrated that RLT can improve wound healing 1.

RLT promotes Hair Growth

The amount of time the hair follicle spends in the anagen phase increases as a result of red light therapy. This could be due to red and near-infrared light’s propensity to excite mitochondria in stem cells in the hair follicle’s bulge. 2, 3.

disclaimer

RLT for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, RSIs, sprains, and other diseases can be relieved quickly with red light treatment equipment 4, 5.

disclaimer

RLT for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Ultraviolet light, which cannot be seen with the human eye, is thought to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, which inhibits healing. Red light is thought to increase blood circulation, which in turn increases the availability of oxygen and nutrients required for wound healing 6, 7.

disclaimer

RLT for Skin Conditions

Red light therapy can be an effective, natural treatment for eczema and psoriasis, lowering itching and inflammation while also aiding in the skin’s overall healing process 8, 9.

disclaimer

RLT for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Red light therapy has been demonstrated to alleviate the pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis 10, 11.

disclaimer

RLT reduces Cancer side-effects

Red light therapy has reduced some of the side effects of cancer treatments, including oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients 12.

disclaimer

RLT improves skin complexion and builds collagen

Red light therapy stimulates collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength, and elasticity. It also increases the production of fibroblasts, which are the cells that create collagen. Collagen is a protein that is found in connective tissue and is used to make skin 13.

disclaimer

RLT for sun-damaged skin

Red light therapy is a quick and painless procedure that can help repair sun damage and reveal younger-looking skin 14.

disclaimer

RLT for Cold Sores

Applying the light to the area of your cold sores for 3 minutes three times a day for two days will reduce the time it takes for your cold sores to recover by 2–3 days. Light treatment has also been shown to minimise the number of times your symptoms appear, according to studies 15.

disclaimer

RLT for Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis. One study found red and infrared light therapy cut osteoarthritis-related pain by more than 50% 16, 17.

disclaimer

RLT for Pain & Inflammation

RLT has anti-inflammatory effects both locally and systemically (where the light is delivered) (in other body tissues and organs). Obesity, diabetes, psoriasis, arthritis, and tendonitis, to mention a few chronic inflammatory conditions, can all benefit from red light treatment 18.

disclaimer

RLT for Cognition

In Alzheimer’s disease models, red light therapy improves memory, motor skills, and recognition. Two different 2017 laboratory investigations looked at how light therapy treatments affected the hippocampus of brains in an Alzheimer’s model. The light therapy-treated rats had significantly fewer A plaques in both tests 19, 20.
