The 7 reasons why I use red light therapy in my massage salons.
Beautiful Skin and Hair
The older you are, the less collagen and elastin your body produces. With age, their levels naturally decrease. Wrinkles appear, the quality of hair and nails deteriorates, and wounds take longer to heal. Red light stimulates collagen production. It also improves microcirculation, providing more oxygen and nutrients to your hair, nails, and skin.
Hormonal Balance
The endocrine system (commonly known as the glands with internal secretion) controls absolutely everything in your body. The most effective approach is to use both spectrums—red and near-infrared. Together, they contribute to regulating the entire system, but they can also be used locally to stimulate hormone production. For example, on the thyroid or reproductive glands.
Better Sleep
Our body naturally follows a 24-hour biorhythm (circadian rhythm). You can combat its disruption not only by minimizing blue light exposure before sleep but also through comprehensive red light therapy. This helps with daytime energy and restful sleep.
Improved Mental Health and Cognition
Health isn’t just about a strong body; it’s also about the brain and mental well-being. Both red and near-infrared light therapy positively impact these areas. They enhance resilience to stress, improve cognitive functions, and reduce depression. All of this is influenced by the presence (or lack) of red spectrum sunlight.
Reduced Inflammation
Swelling and pain—these are often linked to active inflammation. Both red and near-infrared light therapy can minimize symptoms and inflammation itself. They aid healing and reduce pain, whether on the skin or deeper within the body.
Longevity and Vitality
All the effects of red and near-infrared light therapy converge here. More cellular energy, a functional body, and a sharp mind—all contribute to vitality even in old age. This effect won’t be apparent immediately, but in a few (or many) years, you’ll thank yourself for those 20 minutes a day. And you’ll enjoy how you feel and look.
Strong Immune System
The immune system is a perfectly interconnected but highly complex system. Its effectiveness depends on countless internal processes and tissues—from the skin to the gut. Red and near-infrared light therapies work synergistically, complementing and supporting one another. This helps the body become more resilient to pathogens.
Improved Blood Circulation
Blood is the primary source of oxygen and nutrients for our cells. Thanks to it, cells grow, metabolize, and renew themselves—up to hundreds of billions daily. Both red and near-infrared light have a significant impact on cellular function, which in turn affects your overall well-being.
