Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, also known as photo biomodulation and low-level light therapy, uses red low-level wavelengths of light for a variety of health and wellness benefits.  Red light is considered “low level” because it works at an energy density that’s low compared to other forms of laser therapies.

Our RED Light Therapy

Our red light therapy tower at The Salt Spot is attached to our infrared sauna door. Customers can choose to use the red light therapy tower while using the infrared sauna or as a standalone session.

In the early 1990s, Red Light Therapy was used by scientists to help grow plants in space. They found that the intense light from red LEDs promoted the growth and photosynthesis of plant cells.

Red light was then studied for its ability to increase energy inside human cells.  The human body needs to make ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) cellular energy to function and survive.  This occurs naturally when our bodies are exposed to natural sunlight. Red and near infrared wavelengths of natural light stimulate the mitochondria in our cells.  The mitochondria turn the light into usable energy for our bodies through the process of cellular respiration.

Residing right next to near infrared on the spectrum, red light can (obviously) be seen! Many red-light therapy systems use small amounts of infrared along with red LED lights. Infrared penetrates deeply while red light works on the surface of the skin. Red Light LED produces its effects by stimulating collagen production because 700nm wavelength of Red light therapy is optimal for Collagen I production. While penetrating the skin, red light LED can help to reduce wrinkles, build collagen, repair sun damage and more!
