Red Light Therapy (RLT) is also popularly known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Low Power laser Therapy (LPLT), and Soft Laser Therapy, etc.
RLT is a controversial treatment that uses low wavelength red light or near-infrared light. It is used to treat many skin issues including scars, early signs of aging, wounds, etc and also treats many other health issues.
Red Light Therapy is basically, a red light that is exposed to your skin from a device. It tends to produce a biochemical effect in the cells that strengthen the mitochondria which are the powerhouse of the cell, the place where the energy of the cells is created. The molecules that carry energy are found in the cells of the living beings and it is known as ATP(adenosine triphosphate). Every living thing on this planet needs ATP to survive and we need natural light to strengthen the process every single day.
Red and near-infrared wavelengths can be used to stimulate the function of the mitochondria that are responsible for converting food into usable energy for cellular respiration to take place. By using RLT we can increase the functionality of the mitochondria so that it can take more energy and function more efficiently; this repairs the internal damage of the body by themselves.
The Red Light emitted is usually harmless and doesn’t burn or cause damage to the skin unlike other treatments as it uses very low levels of heat and the light penetrates only about 5mm under the surface of the skin.
There are many Red Light Therapy devices available online and there are many salons that use them. But if you are planning to undergo Red Light Therapy, you must see your doctor. Otherwise, it might lead to many other side-effects.
