Health Benefits of a Red Light Therapy Bed

In the early 1990s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sponsored research using near-infrared light technology (NIRLT) that was later used on space shuttle missions to aid in growing plants in space. During the missions, the astronauts also benefitted by being exposed to NIRLT, which led to its use in various fields of medicine. Now used in anti-aging protocols, NIRLT is recognized as a powerful tool for assisting the body to heal from acne, scar tissue, wounds, burns, diabetic skin ulcers and other skin conditions. 


In a red light therapy bed, the entire body is treated to a relaxing, 20-minute session using the technology developed by NASA and supported by more than 40 years of independent, scientific research. 

 

Visible red light contains no ultraviolet-A or ultraviolet-B rays, which play a role in premature skin aging and skin cancer formation. The use of red light therapy has no significant risk, is completely safe and penetrates tissue to a depth of eight to 10 millimeters, delivering energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself.


Other studies of red light therapy demonstrate that it has the ability to increase collagen and elastin, creating fuller and tighter skin, speeding up the healing process and increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate, an energy-carry molecule found in the cells of all living things. It also aids in reducing sunspots, boosting the immune system and improving circulation by the formation of new capillaries, as well as other benefits.
