Dedicated red light therapy beds are built to maximize results.
Understanding Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is an emerging treatment being used to promote physical healing and regeneration. It works by delivering low levels of red or near-infrared light that penetrate the skin and stimulate the cells to produce more energy. This improved cellular function is associated with faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and improved skin health, among other benefits. Unlike ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, red light does not damage the skin barrier.
New Solutions
While traditional UV tanning beds are being retrofitted for this purpose, dedicated red light therapy beds are recommended to maximize benefits. Converted tanning beds often use red-colored fluorescent tube lighting, do not deliver near-infrared light, and require turning over for full coverage. The Prism Light Pod, on the other hand, is a state-of-the-art red light therapy bed that utilizes more than 17,000 LED lights to effectively deliver red and near-infrared light to the entire body in short, 15-minute sessions.
Benefits to Patients
The benefits of red light therapy with the Prism Light Pod may include:
- Sports recovery. Red light may help reduce soreness after exertion and promote muscle recovery.
- Pain management. By improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation, it can help alleviate pain, including chronic pain caused by conditions such as arthritis.
- Wound healing. Red light helps accelerate the body’s natural healing process, promoting tissue repair.
- Rejuvenated skin. By promoting collagen production, it can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, and scars.
- Improved sleep. Red light may help regulate melatonin production, enhancing sleep quality and benefiting mental well-being.
- Hair growth. It is also used to combat hair loss and promote thicker, healthier hair by stimulating the hair follicles.
