Light Therapy

Red light therapy harnesses the therapeutic value of light to provide a range of non-invasive treatments supporting better health and wellness.

What is red light therapy?

Also referred to as low-level laser therapy (LLT), photonic therapy, or photobiomodulation therapy (PBM), red-light therapy offers an effective treatment modality for several medical and cosmetic issues.

Initially pioneered by NASA scientists in 2003 to help grow plants in space, the use of red and near infra-red light therapy was found to have a positive effect on cellular processes and potential therapeutic value in health-related applications.

How does red light therapy work?

While other light-based laser treatments, including lasers, operate via precise and controlled tissue removal or alterations to stimulate repair, red-light therapy offers an even more gentle and conservative approach. It uses varying wavelengths of red light to painlessly, and without heat or a direct effect on the skin, penetrate beneath the surface to reach cells in the underlying layers.

Once absorbed, red light provides cells with added energy to decrease inflammation and reduce pain while enhancing circulation and promoting the repair and regeneration of injured tissues.

Using red light therapy for pain relief

At the office of RNP Wellness, we offer the latest treatment methods and provide integrated, holistic care to help patients safely and effectively alleviate and manage pain.

Although pain can feel like an alienating and upsetting experience, you’re not alone. According to statistics, approximately 50 million people nationwide suffer from chronic pain. And despite the fact that over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs can help provide relief, they can lead to overuse and adverse health consequences, including addiction.

Red light therapy provides cells with added sources of energy and stimulates natural processes that act to decrease inflammation and reduce pain while enhancing circulation, oxygenation and promoting the repair and regeneration of injured tissues.

Supporting weight loss with red light therapy

As everyone knows, it’s hard to lose weight! With both genetic and non-genetic factors often at play, it can be difficult to shed unwanted pounds and get into shape.

In the same way that red light therapy offers a non-invasive and non-surgical way to deal with other ailments, it provides a comfortable and convenient alternative method for removing stubborn fat cells and sculpting the body for a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing look.

Clinical findings demonstrate that red light therapy energizes your cells, stimulating your body’s natural fat burning processes to reduce stubborn fat and support weight loss. In addition to creating microscopic pores in fat cells to promote fat dissolution, red light therapy may also help with cellulite reduction, and other cellular metabolic functions linked to weight gain and obesity.
