Whole Body LED Therapy
Take a minute to rejuvinate your whole body from the inside out
LED is a therapeutic technique that uses specific wavelengths of light, with
a combination of red and near-infrared to stimulate cellular activity which then induces cell rejuvenation, faster healing, reduces inflammation, relieves pain and boosts collagen and elastin.
HOW?
The light energy is absorbed by cellular chromophores, particularly in the mitochondria, leading to increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), modulation of reactive oxygen species, and the release of nitric oxide, among other biological effects.
FAQs
This is a frequently asked question? HOW OFTEN CAN YOU USE LED THERAPY?
You can perform LED everyday. This also depends on every individuals outcome.
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TO HAVE PHOTOBIOMODULATION THERAPY?
There are some general rules of thumb that apply to Photobiomodulation Therapy. Acute injuries
and inflammation from muscle strains and sprains, cuts, bruises, burns, etc typically show very rapid improvement and can resolve in two to four treatments. Long-term, chronic conditions can take as many as 10 sessions to get significant benefits and then weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be necessary to maintain benefits.
WHAT WILL I FEEL?
Photobiomodulation Therapy does not heat tissue, it does however increase circulation so a warming sensation is often experienced.
These outcomes may not apply to every person, and are not intended to guarantee, promise, represent and/or assure that anyone will achieve the same or similar results.
DOES IT INCREASE TISSUE REPAIR AND HEALING IN SKIN?
Light is absorbed or reflected by molecules in the skin cells with the resultant energy driving a number of systems including the production of cellular energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The activation of these pathways allows increased tissue repair and healing.
So Photobiomodulation Therapy has beneficial effects on diverse problems from wrinkles to hypertrophic (keloid) scars to burns and also inflammatory diseases such as acne and psoriasis.
DOES IT REDUCE THE VISIBLE EFFECTS OF AGEING?
Collagen provides the skin with elasticity. It is most well-known for the structural role it plays in the body. It is the ‘glue’ between the cells.
But as we age, collagen production slows – and existing collagen can get damaged due to sun exposure and bad skin habits and from this creates wrinkles and sagging skin.
Beneficial components in the longer wavelengths of the visible and invisible spectra (red and near- infrared wavelengths) and they have regenerative effects with increased collagen production.
DOES IT BENEFIT THOSE TAKING PART IN EXERCISE AND SPORT?
It definitely does, it’s clinically proven to have a more intense and higher volume training, improved muscle strength, reduced post exercise soreness, decreased injury recovery time and a faster return to training.
WHO CAN NOT USE LED THERAPY?
Please consult with your provider with a treatment plan but consider the therapy if:
Pregnant
Certain antibiotics
Thyroid
Eye exposure
Burns
Epilepsy
