Red Light Therapy & Photobiomodulation in SF Bay
Need to recharge? Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, targets the mitochondria within the cells to eliminate oxidative stress particles. This empowers many of the body’s systems to operate in an energized state. As little as 15 minutes in the red light bed provides boosted energy and a mood reset, not to mention enhancements to skin and metabolism.
We are proud to offer 3 NovoTHOR red light beds. Red Light Therapy, is similar to when you feel the warmth of sunlight on your skin. However, unlike sunlight, which produces ultraviolet light, the NovoTHOR bed only delivers red and NIR (Near InfraRed) wavelengths.
Red Light Therapy devices deliver red/NIR wavelengths to bare skin. More like Photosynthesis than heat therapy, as light photons penetrate the skin, they are absorbed by your mitochondria (the energy center of your cells), which then increase the production of ATP (the substance that acts as cellular fuel). This increase stimulates other biological processes that lead to a positive ripple effect of benefits throughout the body.
BENEFITS
• Increased ATP production thus providing additional fuel for your cells.
• Increased release of tissue-specific growth factors which support healing of a variety of skin related issues.
• Diminished inflammatory markers, making it a great recovery therapy after a workout or to support healing after surgery.
• Increased immune system modulation which supports recovery from illness.
• Increased blood circulation
• Improved muscle performance
• Improvement in joint mobility
• Improvement in skin texture and elasticity
• Increased collagen production
• Healing of sun damaged skin
• Reduction of acne, psoriasis and other skin related issues.
