Red light therapy might not be the newest wellness therapy trend, but it has quickly become one of the most trusted. Wellness centers, gyms, spas, and the health community have taken notice on the numerous skin and muscle benefits the simple, non-invasive practice can have. So whether you’ve heard of red light therapy or not, here’s a guide to what exactly it is, its numerous benefits, and where you can find it in Metro Detroit.
What is Red Light Therapy?
In its most basic sense, red light therapy delivers safe, concentrated wavelengths of natural light into your skin. When your cells are hit with the red light wavelengths, regenerative effects occur, which could lead to benefits such as younger-looking skin, enhanced muscle repair, and diminished scaring. These wavelengths are distributed from bulbs emitting wavelengths of red light ranging from 660-850 nanometers and are best consumed in a bed, similar to a tanning bed.
What are the benefits?
As mentioned before, red light therapy does wonders to your skin, muscles, and can even help with high blood pressure. Doctors have noted its positive benefits on wound healing, and inflammation. Additional benefits include helping skin and mild acne. There is debate on how much dosage is optimal, but there is no evidence suggesting that too much exposure could damage the skin. Where can you find it in Metro Detroit? Featuring Novothor Full Body Pods, Novo Michigan helps Metro Detroiters experience the full benefits of red light therapy.
