It's like a cellular workout.
At the core of light therapy is photobiomodulation—the process where light energy is converted into cellular energy, leading to a long list of health & beauty benefits. A non-exhaustive list includes improved skin health & appearance, increased blood circulation and lymphatic flow, reduced inflammation, faster healing, and enhanced cellular function across the board.
Including light therapy in your self-care routine is much like the inclusion of a regular exercise routine…only this approach improves your body's efficiency from the cellular level.
This is where to start if you're hoping to resist Father Time.
How light therapy works
This phenomenon is akin to photosynthesis, where the light's photons interact with vital enzymes within your cells' mitochondria (remember the 'cell's powerhouse' from science class?). When these photons reach the mitochondria, they're absorbed by the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, leading to an increase the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Imagine the enzymes as locks, and the photons as keys. When keys strike matching locks, the door to ATP production swings wide open...resulting in turbocharged ATP levels. This boost offers cells a surge of energy, which they can then use to heal, rejuvenate, and repair at an accelerated pace.
In essence, the light therapy doesn't just illuminate the skin; it ignites a powerhouse of cellular activity, driving the body's natural processes of repair and rejuvenation into high gear, all with the elegance and precision of a well-conducted symphony of light.
Crucial protiens: the collagen & elastin show
The surge in ATP not only energizes the cells but also supports the synthesis of proteins crucial for skin health and elasticity—namely collagen and elastin.
Collagen and elastin are the structural proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. When ATP levels are increased, cells have more energy to carry out their functions, which includes producing these vital proteins. This is particularly important as we age, and the natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to the common signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and decreased skin elasticity.
The elevated ATP production stimulated by light therapy provides skin cells with the energy needed to ramp up the synthesis of collagen and elastin. This results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin, with an improved ability to repair itself from the inside out. In this way, the therapy not only rejuvenates the skin on a cellular level but also contributes to its structural integrity and resilience, effectively turning back the clock on aging and enhancing the skin's overall appearance.
The boost in ATP facilitated by light therapy is a cornerstone for not just energizing the cells, but also for laying the foundation of a more resilient, youthful skin structure through increased collagen and elastin production.
Light therapy is not simply a treatment—it's a profound ally in the pursuit of ageless beauty, and ultimately, longevity.
Frequently asked questions
A light therapy bed, also known as a photobiomodulation bed, uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and tissue. It aims to promote cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health and circulation.
Light therapy can help improve skin complexion, texture, firmness, and overall health. It aids in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne by stimulating collagen production, decreasing inflammation, and improving blood circulation.
Yes, light therapy has been found to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation for various conditions, including muscle aches, joint pain, and injuries, by promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
A typical session on our light therapy bed lasts between 10 to 15 minutes. The duration can vary based on the specific treatment goals and skin condition.
The frequency of sessions can vary depending on individual treatment plans. Generally, it's recommended to start with about three to four sessions per week, adjusting as needed based on the response to the therapy.
Light therapy is generally safe and non-invasive. Our devices are FDA-approved, and sessions are conducted under the supervision of trained professionals. It is important to use the therapy as directed and share your medical history with your therapist to ensure safety.
Light therapy is typically well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. The most common side effect we hear is an overall energy boost.
While light therapy is generally considered safe, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment modalities during pregnancy.
Our light therapy beds are primarily designed for skin and pain-related treatments and are not intended to treat SAD. For SAD, specific types of light therapy lamps that mimic natural sunlight are usually recommended.
