How it works
1 - The Cell Powerhouse
Red Light Therapy works primarily through the absorption of light by chromophores within cells, particularly in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are tiny structures inside cells that generate energy. They're like power plants, converting nutrients into a form cells can use for various functions.
2 - ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the cells energy carrier, that is produced by the Mitochondria. Red light stimulates enzymes that produce ATP, boosting cell energy levels.
3 - Cell Function
With increased ATP, cells have more energy available and are stimulated to repair and replicate. ATP is involved in collagen production by providing the energy necessary for the biochemical reactions that assemble and modify collagen molecules within cells.
4 - Waves of Healing
Cells can produce more Collagen, a protein that provides structure and strength to tissues like skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage. It helps to maintain skin elasticity, supports joint health, and promotes tissue repair - helping your body repair itself, naturally.
The wavelengths of light used in KiVO panels
630nm and 660nm Red Light
Red Light is readily absorbed into the surface layers of the skin, boosting collagen production and stimulating surface layer cells to heal
810nm 830nm 850nm Near InfraRed Light
Near InfraRed is virtually invisible to the naked eye and It can be seen only with something like your phones camera. It travels deeper than pure red light into the skin to help alleviate joint pain, heal deep wounds, and aid with nerve pain recovery.
How can Red Light Therapy help me?
Red Light Therapy for Skin Health and Anti-Aging
RLT has been widely studied for its benefits in improving skin health and reducing signs of aging. Research suggests that RLT can stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and enhance wound healing, making it a popular treatment for conditions like wrinkles, scars, and acne.
Red Light Therapy for Pain Management and Rehabilitation
NIRT has shown promise in managing various types of pain, including musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and arthritis. By improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair, NIRT can help alleviate pain and promote faster recovery in injured or inflamed tissues.
Red Light Therapy for Hair Growth
Studies have indicated that Red Light Therapy stimulates hair growth by promoting blood flow to the hair follicles, increasing follicular thickness, and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. This has led to its exploration as a treatment for conditions like alopecia.
Red Light Therapy for Neurological Disorders
There is growing interest in the use of NIRT for neurological conditions like traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. Studies show that Near InfraRed Therapy and Red Light Therapy has neuroprotective effects, promoting neuronal survival and function, and improving cognitive outcomes
Red Light Therapy for Mental Health
Red light and near-infrared light therapy benefit mental health by boosting cellular energy production, reducing inflammation, and enhancing blood flow in the brain. This can help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, while promoting relaxation and overall well-being through their calming effects on the nervous system. There is also significant association of red light and its calming effects.
