What to expect during treatment:

     You get to keep your clothing on.  Preferred is light-coloured, loose-fitting fabrics, as dark colors can block or absorb the light, reducing the effectiveness.Arriving well-hydrated also enhances the effects, as hydrated cells absorb light more efficiently, supporting energy production and cellular repair.

​

Photobiomodulation:
It's a mouthful, but it's also a game-changer for your health! ​
 

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a therapeutic process where specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light between 600 - 1200nm interacts with cells to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance energy production. This light is absorbed by mitochondria, stimulating the production of ATP (cellular energy), which fuels repair and regeneration throughout the body. PBM has been widely studied for its ability to improve circulation, support tissue recovery, and optimize cellular function, making it a powerful tool for overall wellness.

​

Benefits of Red & Near-Infrared Light Therapy:

• Cellular Energy Production: Enhances ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production by stimulating the mitochondria, leading to improved cellular function and energy levels.

• Reduces Inflammation: Decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, helping with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and injury recovery.

• Accelerates Wound Healing: Stimulates fibroblast activity, collagen production, and blood flow, aiding in faster tissue repair for wounds, burns, and post-surgical healing.

• Pain Relief & Joint Health: Reduces pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, tendonitis, and musculoskeletal conditions by decreasing inflammation and increasing circulation.

• Improves Skin Health: Boosts collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, scars, acne, and rosacea while promoting an even skin tone.

• Enhances Muscle Recovery & Performance: Reduces muscle fatigue, soreness, and inflammation while improving strength and endurance.

• Supports Brain Health & Cognitive Function: Increases cerebral blood flow, reduces neuroinflammation, and supports neurogenesis, potentially benefiting conditions like brain fog, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and neurodegenerative diseases.

• Balances the Nervous System: Helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and promoting relaxation by supporting vagus nerve function.

• Boosts Circulation & Lymphatic Drainage: Enhances oxygenation of tissues and removal of metabolic waste, supporting detoxification and immune function.

• Enhances Eye Health: May help improve vision, reduce retinal damage, and support recovery from conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma.

• Supports Hormonal Balance: May improve thyroid function, boost testosterone levels, and regulate melatonin production for better sleep.

• Improves Sleep Quality: Helps regulate circadian rhythms and melatonin production, promoting deeper, more restorative sleep.

• Reduces Symptoms of Autoimmune Conditions: Supports mitochondrial function and reduces inflammation, benefiting conditions like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

• Promotes Hair Growth: Stimulates hair follicles, increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the scalp, which may help with hair thinning and loss.

• Alleviates Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Helps combat symptoms of seasonal depression by stimulating serotonin production and supporting natural circadian rhythms, improving mood and energy levels during darker months.

• Optimizes Vitamin D Activation and Absorption: Red and near-infrared (NIR) light may enhance the body's ability to utilize and metabolize vitamin D efficiently, supporting overall wellness.

What is the difference between red light and near-infrared light?

Red light uses a shorter wavelength that ranges from 620-750 nanometers (nm) and is readily absorbed by the surface layer of the skin. Red light is known to increase collagen, energy production, and improve sleep, among many other health benefits. 

 

Near-infrared light uses a longer wavelength that ranges from 750-1200 nm and has the ability to reach into deeper tissues of the body for other health benefits. To name a few, near-infrared light is responsible for benefits such as improving muscle recovery, joint pain, inflammation, mental acuity, and thyroid function.
