What is Red Light Therapy?

It is a non-invasive therapy that delivers specifc frequencies of red light and near infrared light to your skin and cells.

BlockBlueLight uses only specific red and near infrared wavelengths that have been found to be the most clinically therapeutic, without harmful UV rays or side effects.

What Is The Difference Between Red Light And Infrared Light?

Not all red light therapy is the same. There is red light and infrared light. The difference lies in how the depth of their wavelengths penetrates the body. Red light occupies the “long end” of the visible spectrum with wavelengths of 630nm-700nm whereas infrared sits right next to red light on the electromagnetic spectrum at 800nm to 1000 nm. Depending on what benefits you’re looking to receive from red light therapy, it’s imperative to know the variations between them. 

RED LIGHT

Since red light resides at the end of the spectrum with the longest visible wavelengths, it works primarily on the skin’s surface. This form of red light therapy targets imperfections in the skin and improve signs of aging. If you are looking to give your cosmetic routine a boost, red light therapy could be the key you have been looking for. 

Red Light Benefits

Acne:  Red light therapy can help with acne as it penetrates deep into the skin which affects sebum production, while also reducing inflammation and irritation in the area. The less sebum you have in your skin the less likely you are prone to breakouts.

Wrinkles:  The treatment stimulates collagen production in the skin, which helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles that come with aging and damage from long-term sun exposure.

Skin Conditions:  Some studies have shown massive improvement in skin conditions like eczema with only one 2-minute session of red light therapy per week. Aside from improving the overall look of the skin, it was also said to improve itchiness. Similar results were found in psoriasis patients as well as diminishing redness, inflammation, and speeding up the skin’s healing process. Even cold sores have gone down with the use of this treatment.

Skin Improvement:  While helping to reduce acne and skin conditions, red light therapy also improves the overall facial texture, rejuvenating the skin. This is achieved by how it increases blood flow between blood and tissue cells. Regular use can also protect the cells from skin damage, helping to maintain your complexion in the long term.

Wound Healing:  Research has shown that red light therapy can assist in healing wounds quicker than other products or ointments. It does this by reducing inflammation in the cells; stimulating new blood vessels to form; increasing helpful fibroblasts in the skin; and, increasing collagen production in the skin to help with scarring.

Hair Loss:  One small study even saw improvements in those who suffer from alopecia. It revealed that those receiving red light therapy had improved their hair density, compared to others in the group who tried other alternatives.
Beyond the range of visible wavelengths lies infrared light, which makes it invisible to the human eye. 

INFRARED LIGHT

For those looking to benefit the whole body, near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the subcutaneous tissue, reaching organs, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even the brain. This deeper penetration allows NIR to enhance cellular energy production, support tissue repair, and improve overall function of the targeted areas.

Infrared Light Benefits

Increased Blood Flow:  The light energy your cells absorb makes them more active, which increases blood flow to the area. Increased blood flow can support cellular regrowth and regeneration, a combo that works to reduce inflammation and repair wounds or injuries so you can stay on track with your fitness goals.

Cardiovascular Health:  Infrared increases the production of nitric oxide, a vital signalling molecule that is important for the health of blood vessels. This molecule helps relax the arteries and prevents blood from clotting and clumping in the vessels. Nitric oxide is essential in improving blood circulation, which provides more oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues.

Pain And Inflammation:  With more oxygen and nutrients, infrared light therapy promotes healing in the body. It eases pain, and inflammation and protects against oxidative stress. This means less pain in your day-to-day life as well as during and after your workouts!

Muscular Injuries:  Infrared light can trigger the growth and repair of new muscle cells and tissues. Are you looking to speed up healing after an injury? This could be the answer you have been looking for!

Detoxification:  If you apply infrared therapy through saunas, it may strengthen your immune system by increasing your core temperature to detoxify on a cellular level. This detoxification could also improve food digestion. Some have also found it helpful with weight loss in that it boosted metabolism and broke up fats in cells to release from the body.

Sleep:  Emerging research is showing that red light therapy treatments can help people produce more of their own, natural melatonin so they can have improved sleep quality and duration. Artificial blue light can have a negative effect on our circadian rhythm. Red light therapy treatments supercharge your cells with the natural light they need to make more core ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy, which in some peer-reviewed studies has improved insomnia for patients.
