What is Full Spectrum Red Light Therapy?
In recent years, red light therapy has gained popularity as a natural and non-invasive way to improve skin health, treat pain and inflammation, and promote overall wellness. But what is red light therapy, and how does it work?
Introduction to Full Spectrum Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy, is a non-invasive and painless treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The therapy involves exposing the skin or affected area to specific wavelengths of light, which penetrate deep into the tissues and cells to produce a range of therapeutic effects.
Red light therapy has been used for over 50 years in medical and therapeutic settings, but it has gained popularity in recent years as a natural and alternative treatment option for various health conditions. The therapy is typically administered through specialized light-emitting diode (LED) devices or lasers, which emit red and near-infrared light at specific wavelengths and frequencies.
-
Skin Health and Anti-Aging: Red light therapy has been shown to improve skin health and reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage. The therapy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin elasticity and firmness, and can also improve skin texture and tone.
-
Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction: Red light therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation in various parts of the body, including muscles, joints, and skin. The therapy works by reducing inflammation and increasing circulation, which can help relieve pain and promote healing.
-
Mood and Energy Enhancement: Red light therapy can also help improve mood and energy levels, as it has been shown to stimulate the production of serotonin and endorphins, which are essential neurotransmitters for mood regulation and pain relief. The therapy can also improve sleep quality, which is essential for overall wellness.
The Science Behind Full Spectrum Red Light Therapy
How Full Spectrum Red Light Affects the Body
Full Spectrum Red light therapy works by stimulating the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells, to produce more energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is essential for cell function and repair, and increased ATP production can promote healing and regeneration in the body.
Red light therapy also activates other cellular processes, such as the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin health and anti-aging. Additionally, the therapy can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, two factors that contribute to various health conditions.
Wavelengths and Frequencies of Full Spectrum Red Light
Red light therapy typically uses wavelengths between 630 and 700 nanometers (nm) and near-infrared wavelengths between 800 and 900 nm. These wavelengths are most effective at penetrating the skin and tissues and stimulating the cellular processes.
The frequency of red light therapy can vary depending on the device and treatment protocol, but most treatments last between 5 and 20 minutes and can be performed daily or weekly, depending on the condition being treated.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?Hyperbaric oxygen therapy treats medical conditions with 100% oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. The patient lies or sits in the chamber. The oxygen then saturates the plasma in the blood, allowing oxygen to easily flow throughout the body and reach even areas that are injured or diseased, which typically receive less oxygen. The mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include stimulating and mobilizing stem cells, down-regulating inflammatory genes, up-regulating reproductive cells and stimulating DNA. HBOT also regrows tiny blood vessels, and stimulates the growth of new healthy cells in the brain, bones, skin, organs, and tissues. People seek hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal physical damage in their bodies and to promoting health and anti-aging.
-
What does HBOT feel like?Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a painless, noninvasive therapy. Our patients often tell us they don't notice the pressure change, except for a bit in their ears. Specifically, some feel a bit of pressure in their ears, like when they take off in an airplane. It feels like their ears are “popping." After a treatment, some patients say they can think more clearly and that they have more energy. If there has been pain from swelling or impinged nerves, patients often comment on the pain relief, plus increased strength and range of motion after their treatments.
-
Is HBOT safe?Overall, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is extremely safe. However, as with any medical therapy, there can be risks. Any risks should be reviewed with you prior to your treatment, at the time your provider goes over your health history with you, and during your intake at the clinic. All clinics are constructed with approval of the local fire marshal and building inspectors to ensure that they comply with all relevant safety codes.

How do I prepare for HBOT?We make preparing for a hyperbaric oxygen therapy easy. Before the first treatment, we take the time to answer all of your questions in detail. The patient’s healthcare provider reviews their history and condition. For example, depending on your condition, you may be asked to eat before your treatment. Preparing for HBOT is just as individualized as the therapy. In most cases, it’s as easy as changing into different clothing. Call us with any questions you have. We are more than happy to answer all of your questions, even if you are not a current patient.
