Light therapy

What is infrared light therapy, and what are the benefits?
Light in the infrared range of the spectrum can penetrate more deeply to reach muscle tissue and nerves. Infrared lights have a longer wavelength than red lights, so they are best suited to reach deep inside the body’s muscles. As the muscle’s cells absorb energy from infrared lights, they become more active and increase blood flow. Increased blood flow is shown to help reduce inflammation, and this action also supports natural cellular regeneration. This extra support speeds up the body’s natural healing processes and has been shown to help promote wound or injury healing. This is why infrared lights are an ideal choice for pain relief products. They help athletes speed up the muscle recovery process and help those who struggle with sore and tight muscles or achy bones. Due to the regenerative properties of infrared lights, they are also commonly used in anti-aging skincare devices. The right dose of infrared lights can help reverse signs of sun damage or acne scarring.
