Enjoy a 20 min Red Light Therapy session geared to your specific health and wellness goals! Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, photobiomodulation, or biostimulation, utilizes low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to treat various medical and cosmetic conditions. This non-invasive treatment penetrates the skin to a depth of 660 nanometers, allowing the light to be absorbed by the mitochondria—the energy-producing components of our cells. By stimulating the mitochondria, red light therapy can enhance cellular energy production, promoting healing and rejuvenation.
Our professional grade red light delivers a smooth, even distribution of both red light and near infrared light during each session. Near infrared light reaches depths of 850 nanometers allowing it to penetrate deeper into tissues, reaching muscles, joints, and even bones.
Benefits of red and near infrared light :
-Skin Health
Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, acne scarring, sun damage, and accelerates wound healing by boosting collagen production and enhancing cellular regeneration.
-Pain and Inflammation:
Our clinical-grade panel utilizes both red light and near-infrared light to effectively alleviates pain and stiffness related to arthritis, as well as minor muscle and joint aches.
-Muscle recovery and performance
Red light therapy can enhance muscle recovery and performance by improving oxygen intake and reducing perceived fatigue. It also supports increases in muscle mass during weight training. Additionally, it has been shown to significantly shorten the return-to-play (RTP) time after sports-related injuries, with no adverse effects.
-Mental Health
Red light therapy helps alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, enhancing your overall well-being and vitality. Its neuroprotective effects support cognitive health and may contribute to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
-Sleep support
The hues of red light therapy mimic those of a sunset, signalling to the mind and body to produce melatonin, our sleep hormone. Additionally, by impacting the mitochondria, red light therapy helps optimize ATP production, supporting optimal energy levels throughout the day.
Safety
A consistent finding across thousands of peer-reviewed clinical studies on red light therapy is its safety, non-invasiveness, and excellent user tolerance. While red light therapy is generally safe, a few minor risks are associated with it. These may include temporary skin redness, tightness, mild eye strain, and increased skin photosensitivity. To mitigate these effects, we recommend minimizing sun exposure or wearing sunscreen after treatment.
At H2 OM, client safety is our top priority. We provide protective eye coverings during red light therapy sessions to safeguard your eyes and minimize the risk of eye strain or damage.
