Pain Management Red Infrared Wrapped Led Light Therapy Belt
850nm and 660nm waves. These have been proven to: stimulate acupuncture points, increase blood circulation and help with antioxidant enzyme release. Phototherapy in this spectrum also promotes muscle relaxation and generally facilitates pain reduction, stimulates fibroblast and collagen production, increases lymphatic drainage, and reduces swelling, inflammation and bruising- bringing relief to athletes, sufferers of arthritis, and those with chronic pain.
The energy can flow through the body and interact with damaged cells in many parts of the body operating more like a vitamin that goes where it needs to go. This wavelength is also best for treating the lymph system and acupuncture points. Whereas studies show near-infrared wavelengths in the 850 nm penetrate deeper through skin and bone for relief of chronic pain.
As with red light therapy, near infrared light therapy does not mask the symptoms of pain, it encourages the healing of the actual cause of the pain. Once absorbed, the light energy kicks off a whole series of metabolic events, stimulating the body's natural processes on a cellular level. There is an increase in blood flow, allowing the parts of the body to receive the oxygen and nutrients they need in order to function more effectively. Regeneration is stimulated. Inflammation and pain are reduced.
In many cases, after a course of treatment with red infrared light, the pain is gone.
The function of 660nm red light:There is an abundance of literature outlining the benefits offered by the 660nm wavelength. Penetrating just a little deeper than the 630nm wavelength, the 660nm reaches into the entire range of the skin tissue to promote healing and regeneration.
Some of its diverse benefits include:
Reduced training fatigue: The 660nm wavelength teamed with the 830nm near-infrared wavelength has been proven to delay the development of fatigue in the muscles, and enhance skeletal muscle performance. (Athletes, take note.)Reduced inflammation:In a study investigating the effects of red light therapy on pleurisy, the 660nm wavelength was found to induce an anti-inflammatory effect.Improved bone healing:
The 660nm wavelength encourages resorption and formation in the bone cells around the location where repair is needed, without causing any change to the bone structure.Reduced swelling following injury:In one study, the 660 nm wavelength was found to reduce both inflammation and swelling by reducing the number of inflammatory cells which lead to the formation of swelling.Reduced neuropathic pain:A study investigating sciatic nerve pain in rats found that the 660nm wavelength significantly helped to reduce pain.Accelerated wound healing:
The 660 nm wavelength has been proven to increase the formation of new blood vessels and enhance collagen deposition to help in the healing of wounds.
The function of 850nm infrared light:The 850nm wavelength is the signature Platinum LED near infra-red wavelength . In many cases, the 850nm amplifies the benefits provided by the 810nm and 830nm wavelengths. This wavelength has a range of therapeutic applications such as:Anti-inflammatory benefits:
850nm wavelengths can help to reduce joint and muscle pain and diminish general inflammation in the body.
Enhanced muscle recovery:
A study observed the use of 850nm wavelengths on athletes, and found that usage of the near-infrared
light increased muscle mass after training, and decreased inflammation and oxidative stress in muscle biopsies.Healing of wounds in the skin: Lesions in the skin heal faster when exposed to 850nm wavelength light therapy.
Reduction of lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation: 850nm can support the production of collagen, assisting with plumper, more radiant-looking skin, and a more uniform texture.Orthodontics and tooth alignment:
The use of the 850nm wavelength can foster the speedy realignment of teeth for patients undergoing orthodontics.
FAQ
1: Can I wear makeup in the Red Light Therapy pad?
A: Yes, makeup can be worn and should not affect the performance of the therapy.
2: Can I wear my clothes in the Red Light Therapy pad or should I be nude?
A: The skin that you wish to be treated should be fully exposed to the light.
3: Will the treatment interfere with or be affected by any medications I use?
A: If you use medications such as Tetracycline, Digoxin (used for heart irregularities) and photosensitizing drugs (e.g., tranquilizers, sulfa drugs, oral anti-diabetic drugs, antidepressants, and steroids), please consult your physician before using Red Light.
4: Are there any special lotions I am supposed to use during or after treatment?
A: No.
5: Will Red Light help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?
A: Red Light, as well as other light therapies, has been proven to improve Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
6:How long after the previous user do I have to wait to use the Red Light pad?
A: We tend to schedule 30 minutes between appointments so that we can allow the bed can cool down (not required) for the next user's comfort.
7: Is it okay to wear contacts while in the Red Light pad?
A: That depends on the individual, some people may experience a dry eye sensation.
8: Do I need to wear some sort of eye protection (similar to tanning goggles)?
A: It is not required that you wear eye protection, nevertheless the lights are very bright and may be uncomfortable for some individuals with sensitivities to light.
9: Is Red Light Therapy similar to tanning?
A: No not at all. You will not get a tan from Red Light Therapy, nor does it expose you to damaging UV rays.
10: Will I have to do this indefinitely to maintain results?
A: Yes, it is recommended to start with a commitment of 20 minutes 3-5 times per week for the first 1-4 weeks, then 2-3 times per week for the following 4-12 weeks, and finally 1-2 times per week to maintain results.
