Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Who Can Benefit From Red Light Therapy?
Simply put, literally everyone can benefit from Red Light Therapy, barring any contraindications. Since it acts by stimulating and up-regulating cellular mitochondrial function; "The Power House" of the cell, it enhances the cell's physiological activity, essentially supercharging its function and capacity. The effects differ depending upon the tissues stimulated which is determined by the specific wavelengths applied.
2. What’s the Difference Between Red Light Therapy and other light forms?
At its core, Red Light Therapy harnesses specific wavelengths of light that penetrate superficially or deep into our tissues to stimulate cellular healing and regeneration. Unlike ultraviolet light or intense laser treatments, Red Light Therapy uses gentle but powerful wavelengths in the red (630-660nm) and near-infrared (810-940nm) spectrum. These wavelengths are specifically chosen because they can penetrate to superficial skin layers as well as reach deeper tissues where they interact with the mitochondria and stimulate their activity.
3. What Additional Types of Treatments Are Used In Conjunction with RLT?
After a thorough investigation into physical, emotional and lifestyle history, as well as specialty testing, we have the option to utilize nutrition, movement, stress management, lifestyle modifications and evidence based supplementation (herbals and vitamins/minerals) to restore and strengthen physiological function.
4. Is Red Light Therapy safe?
Yes. Red Light Therapy is FDA-approved for certain uses and is considered safe when used properly. It is non-invasive, painless, and free of UV radiation.
5. Does Red Light Therapy hurt or cause side effects?
Most people feel a gentle warmth, but the treatment is pain-free. Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as temporary redness or slight skin sensitivity.
6. How often should I use Red Light Therapy?
This will vary depending upon what the desired effects are and what is being addressed. Typically, sessions are recommended 3+ times per week for the first 4–6 weeks. Maintenance varies based on individual goals.
6. How long is each Red Light Therapy session?
Sessions typically last 20-25 minutes. Our advanced Red Light Therapy device allows for a unique combination of wavelengths, frequencies and duty cycles to achieve maximum stimulation and effect.
7. Can't I just do Red Light Therapy at home?
Yes, there are many high-quality at-home devices available. However, home devices are cost-prohibitive and will require extended durations for each of the areas of the body taking up to 2 1/2 hours whereas our unit allows for full body exposure in only 20-25 minutes with customization of the wavelength, frequency and duty-cycles
8. When will I see results?
Some people notice benefits (like improved skin tone or reduced pain) in as little as a few sessions, but full results often appear after several weeks of consistent use.
9. Can anyone use Red Light Therapy?
Most people can use Red Light Therapy safely. However, it is not recommended for individuals with photosensitivity, epilepsy, while on photosensitive medications or certain medical conditions without consulting a healthcare provider.
10. Does Insurance, Health Savings or Flexible Spending Accounts cover Red Light Therapy?
Under most circumstances, Red Light Therapy is a non-covered service and cannot be billed to an insurance. We DO accept Health Savings and Flexible Spending Account (HSA/FSA) along with cash, credit card and personal checks. We also have financing options with good credit.
