What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity. This innovative therapy has gained popularity for its numerous benefits in promoting skin rejuvenation, reducing inflammation, and even aiding in intense energy boosts. At SunsUp, our Redlight beds are medical grade, lay down, and you receive treatments from the lights on both sides of the body at the same time. Wwe have carefully curated our red light therapy services to ensure maximum effectiveness and comfort for our clients.

Red light causes the body to produce its own collagen at the dermal level, reconstructing the skin and renewing it back to its younger state all on its own. It rehydrates the cell and reduces inflammation naturally, improving healing time. Step into the fountain of youth, and schedule an appointment today!

The Benefits of Red Light Therapy

When it comes to improving the appearance and health of your skin, red light therapy is your secret weapon. By stimulating collagen production, and assisting in the production of new cells, red light therapy can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promote elasticity, and improve the overall texture and tone of your skin. Furthermore, this therapy is known to accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and even alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Skincare Secrets Revealed: How Red Light Therapy Can Transform Your Skincare Routine

Real vs. Fake Red Light Beds

Our beds are medical-grade red light beds. How do you identify an altered Red Light bed converted from a tanning bed?

Why is it important? because the power to the lamps is not compatible with a legitimate Red Light Bed, therefore it wouldn’t produce the correct output for the optimum results.

Be aware of any decals that refer to tanning or if the beds are of age. See the photos below for reference!

The Science Behind Red Light Therapy

To truly understand and appreciate the power of red light therapy, it’s important to dive into the science behind this innovative treatment. Red light therapy works on a cellular level, harnessing the power of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological processes within the body.

At the heart of red light therapy is a phenomenon known as photobiomodulation. This process involves the absorption of light energy by chromophores, which are light-sensitive molecules present in cells. When these chromophores absorb specific wavelengths of light, it triggers a cascade of reactions within the cells, resulting in various therapeutic effects.

Red light therapy primarily utilizes wavelengths ranging from 600 to 850 nanometers (nm) on the electromagnetic spectrum. These wavelengths are considered beneficial as they can penetrate the outer layers of the skin and reach the underlying tissues and cells without causing harm.

Red Light Therapy Case Study

Case Study: A 50 year old, male client underwent Spinal surgery for single level anterior fusion with removal of disk & spinal bone spur on July 20, 2020. His surgery required an Incision made through front of the neck and placement of a metal plate and 4 screws in the spine. The following images show the progression of healing results with only 8 treatments of Red Light Therapy – Decrease in redness, swelling, immediate Pain relief , scar tissue, faster healing.

Red Light Therapy increases collagen production, skin elasticity, and causes the body to increase blood flow from 7 quarts per min to 14 quarts per min, which helps promote healing throughout the body. With only the 8 Treatments you can visibly see there is almost zero redness and almost no scar at all.

Initial Human Studies Recommend Red Light Therapy for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Treatment

Two of the first double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials on dementia/AD and red light therapy were published in 2017, with extremely positive findings. The data showed red light therapy treatments produced positive changes in executive function, clock drawing, immediate recall, memory, visual attention, and task switching, as well as “a trend of improved EEG amplitude and connectivity measures.” [3,4]

One of these pilot studies reported that dementia patients treated with a 12-week transcranial light therapy routine experienced these “significant improvements”:

Increased cognitive function
Better sleep
Fewer angry outbursts
Less anxiety
Less wandering

Of major importance, this study also noted there were “no negative side effects.” The study concluded that light therapy “shows potential for home treatment of patients with dementia and AD.”

Treatment

If beginning your red light therapy journey for skin, consistency is key. For the first four weeks, we recommend scheduling treatments 4-5 times per week. This regular frequency allows for the collagen in the skin to rebuild and optimize the effects of the therapy. By maintaining a consistent treatment schedule, you can enhance the rejuvenation process and achieve your desired results. When it comes to energy boosts and pain relief this should be felt after just one treatment.

Each red light therapy session typically lasts between 10-15 minutes, depending on the specific area being treated. During the session, you will be positioned comfortably in the bed, allowing the red light wavelengths to penetrate the skin from both sides and stimulate cellular activity.

Use our Red Light+ TriLuxe lotion to speed up the results 3x faster.

Maintenance

After completing the initial 4-week treatment period, it’s important to establish a maintenance routine to sustain and prolong the benefits of red light therapy. We recommend continuing with maintenance sessions 2-3 times per week. This frequency will help in maintaining the results of your treatment and ensure ongoing improvements in your overall well-being.

Enhance Your Results

Remove makeup before treatments.
Use collagen and retinol morning and evening clincial grade serums at home.

A note from our “Biggest Red Light Fan”

“Hi! I’m your biggest fan of Redlight! I’ll be 60 in 4 weeks. I broke my back and fractured my pelvis three years ago in a horse jumping accident and used to have some aches and pains after a long ride. No more! I ride 12 miles or more every Saturday and every Sunday in the words near Mulino. I work out for 90 minutes several times a week. Rarely have aches and pains but when I do- they’re gone after my Redlight treatment. I try to do 20 minutes in the Redlight bed several times a week and I swear by it. My nails are longer, stronger and grow quickly. My hair has filled in where it used to be thinning. My chronic cough from Granuloma (scar tissue) in one lung is almost gone. In fact my recent chest x-ray showed a tiny spot of Granuloma- a year ago one king way 60% Granuloma and I coughed constantly. I have more energy to work out and ride because of Redlight. My skin, hair, nails, my back, my energy level, my moods and my overall excellent health and body condition has been greatly improved by Redlight. I’m off to do a 12 mile trotting and cantering ride on my horse, and when I’m done— I’ll be in a Redlight bed. Thank you so much! I can’t rave enough about this service.”
