RED LIGHT THERAPY User Guider

Red Light Therapy Family

We are excited to have you join us, and we can't wait to see how you benefit from the power of Red & Near Infrared Light Therapy. It delivers irradiance at both Red nm (visible red light), NIR nm (Invisiblenear infrared light), or a combination of both. These light wavelengths have been scientifically proven to provide therapeutic effects.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT) is a therapeutic technique that uses red low-level wavelengths of light to address skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds.

How does red light therapy work?

Red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it's where the cell's energy is created. The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage. RLT is different from laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies because it doesn't cause damage to the skin surface. Laser and pulsed light therapies work by causing controlled damage to the outer layer of the skin, which then induces tissue repair. RLT bypasses this harsh step by directly stimulating regeneration of the skin. The light emitted by RLT penetrates roughly 5 millimeters below the skin's surface.

Light Spectrum Chart: A light spectrum chart illustrates wavelengths in nanometers (nm) from 400 to 850. The chart shows a gradient from violet/blue on the left (labeled 'Short wavelength high frequency') to red/infrared on the right (labeled 'Long wavelength low frequency'). Key points are marked around 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, and 850 nm.

Benefits Of Red Light Therapy

What are the health benefits of light therapy? We'll cover some of the main ones below.

• ?‍? Hair Growth
• ✨ Skin Health
• ? Improved Circulation
• ? Reduced Inflammation
• ? Improved Recovery
• ? Cellular Health
• ♂️ Increased Testosterone in Men
• ⚡ Reduced Pain

Enhanced Cellular Function

One of the potential benefits of light therapy is a significant increase in blood circulation. This indicates tissues are receiving more oxygen and other nutrients that are important for healing. At the same time, light helps the body and circulatory system rid itself of toxic byproducts.

Improved Blood Flow

In conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, light therapy can have systemic benefits because they work by improving cellular health across the entire body.

Recovery, Healing, and Performance

Light therapy is widely used by trainers and pro athletes to improve fitness, boost physical performance, and support the recovery process. Muscle cells require a great deal of energy, and grow and strengthen through a process of tears and repairs. Light therapy helps your body produce and use energy more efficiently.

Sleep Optimization

Healthy light intake is essential for sleep and maintaining natural circadian rhythms. Our brains interpret light as a sign of when to be awake and asleep, and when to make crucial sleep hormones like melatonin. Bright blue light at night can knock your sleep cycle out of whack, but red light is a lower-intensity alternative that can help support longer, more restful sleep.

Skin Health and Beauty

Taking in healthy light is crucial for skin cells, skin health, and beauty. Red and NIR light promotes balance across the body and skin by enhancing cellular respiration, making energy production more efficient, with less oxidative stress. When your cells are in greater balance, your skin will look and feel softer and more invigorated.

Inflammation and Pain Relief

Light therapy helps your body's natural inflammation process as you recover from illness or injury. Red light therapy also supports arthritis and joint pain relief by improving blood flow to damaged tissues.

Mental Acuity

Mental acuity is a measure of how well your brain processes and responds in the moment. When shined on the head, NIR wavelengths of light can reach brain cells and stimulate the mitochondria in the body's main processing center. This can improve cellular energy production, enhance blood flow, and support better mental acuity.

Recommended Usage

Please keep the remote controller within 15 meters away from the device when you use it.

Indications for red therapy light: This is a general wellness device and is not intended to cure or diagnose any medical conditions. Use of these devices helps promote healthy skin, recovery muscles, improve health and wellness through optimizing cellular function.

If you have any questions or concerns related to use of these devices with a pre-diagnosed or underlying condition, please consult with your doctor or healthcare provider before using.

Protective Eyewear: The emitting surface covers the entire front surface area of the device. Eyewear is included and should be used when using the device with Near Infrared (NIR) Mode active. When treating, do not stare directly into the light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Getting Started: For first-time users, we recommend starting out with 1-2 minute treatments per area, slowly working up to a 10-minute session(s) over the course of 2-3 weeks as your body acclimates to the therapy.

Standard Usage: We suggest using it for 10-minute sessions at 6-12 inches from your device. 15-20 minutes for symptomatic areas may be beneficial, but beyond that, the evidence points to diminishing returns (your cells only absorb so much light at once). For this reason, we recommend you allow at least 6 hours between one session of the same area. We recommend daily use 2-3 times per day.

Frequent Questions

How should I use my red light?

For maximizing cellular health, including deep tissue treatment, it is recommended to use your red light every day or at least five times a week. For getting pain relief from strains and aches, three treatments per day are suggested.

Should I wear eye protection?

Eyewear is not required; it's optional. Your eyes are not accustomed to the red light, and red light may appear very bright. For this reason, we recommend closing your eyes or wearing sunglasses. If you have any concerns, consult your trusted healthcare provider.

Why do the near-infrared LEDs on my RTL look like they are not working?

The human eye can only see wavelengths of light up to 760nm on average. Red therapy uses wavelengths of 810 nm, 830 nm, & 850 nm for the near-infrared LEDs, which a naked human eye cannot observe.

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

Both near-infrared light and red light have been designed to improve cellular function. The main difference is that the skin tissues absorb the red light, leading to enhanced collagen production and skin health. Near-infrared light is not visible to the human eye. It penetrates deeper tissue, leading to benefits like increased reduced joint pain and muscle recovery.

Can I wear clothes when using the red light?

Yes, you can wear clothes, or you can be nude during the treatment. The only thing that matters is that the specific area of the body you want to be treated is fully exposed to the body. That area should not be covered by any clothing.

Will the red light interface with the medications I use?

Many clinical studies and researches have proven that light therapy is effective and safe. However, if you are using medications such as Retin A, Digoxin, Tetracycline, or other photosensitizing drugs, we recommend you to consult your healthcare provider or therapist before using the red light.

Is it safe for children to use the red light?

Clinical studies have shown light therapy to be safe and have no side effects. But, before using red light to children, contact your doctor.
