PDT Full Body Skin Care Photobiomodulation Red Light Bed

Before you begin: Thoroughly cleanse your skin with a gentle, non-drying cleanser. Remove any mineral-based sunscreen, as well as makeup containing zinc or other mineral-based sunscreens. In general, sunscreen won't block red/NIR wavelengths. However, zinc oxide reflects light, which means there's a chance that fewer therapeutic light photons will be available to absorb into the skin. Alternatively, administer the therapy first thing in the morning, before applying any skincare products.

Red light therapy is used to treat injuries, reduce pain, relax muscles/joints, and increase blood circulation. It is typically used by doctors, physical therapists, and pain clinics as a highly effective non-invasive treatment with no known side effects. It also used by professional athletes to improve performance and reduce the incidence of injuries.

You can use red light therapy every day. Most people don't see much benefit using it more than once per day. For handheld treatments your practioner will advise you as to your treatment plan.

Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. The light (photons) energy is absorbed by photoacceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components.

The typical human eye responds to wavelengths 400nm to 700nm. The light coming from this device is either visible red or invisible infrared.
