Benefits of Whole-Body Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy has been used as a natural healing modality going back to the 1970's. NASA used it originally to keep astronauts healthy while they were in space. A number of leading university medical research centers including Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Wisconsin University & many others have studied the benefits of red light therapy's mitochondrial healing effects. There are more than 3,000 studies & articles conducted by the National Institute of Health (NIH) that support a variety of use cases & conditions where red light therapy promoted healing effects in humans & animals.
Prior to the mid-2000's, industrial-grade red light therapy was only available in handheld devices. Prism Light Pod was one of two companies that pioneered whole-body red light therapy systems, also referred to as photobiomodulation (PBM) systems. Below are videos and articles that highlight the benefits of whole-body PBM systems.
Benefits of red light therapy include:
- Manage Chronic Pain & Inflammation
- Decrease Arthritis and Joint Pain
- Accelerate Muscle Recovery and Joint Pain
- Improve athletic performance by accelerating recovery
- Improve skin Conditioning/Anti-Aging
- Assist with weight Loss
- And more
Shrink Fat Cells:
Red and near-infrared light penetrate and collapse fat cells in the body, promoting weight-loss and reducing cellulite. Red light therapy is an effective way to shrink fat cells without resorting to invasive procedures like liposuction.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) has shown a study applying red light therapy for 30 minutes twice a week for 4 weeks on 40 healthy young men and women. The subjects were asked not to change their diet or exercise habits. Results demonstrated that red light therapy achieved a safe and significant loss of fat and girth at the end of the treatment period.
15-minute Light Pod sessions, 3 times a week improves your blood flow, increases your body's metabolism and shrinks fat cells. Your body burns more calories during the day leading to more fat loss and even smoothing out cellulite.
Anti-Aging & Skin Condiitioning:
As we mature it is common to develop skin conditions such as eczema, acne, stretch marks, age spots, wrinkles, and scar tissue. Whole-body red light therapy may reduce the visibility of scarring and improve skin condition by producing collagen and toning the skin. Lay in the Prism Light Pod consistently to:
- Reduce wrinkles & stretch marks
- Increase collagen production
- Even skin tone
- Relieve psoriasis
- Kill acne-causing bacteria
- Improve eczema
- Improve melasma and sunspots
Chronic Pain & Inflammation:
Prism Light Pod's full-body red light therapy helps lower inflammation-and the pain that accompanies it-by decreasing pro-inflammatory molecules that cause inflammation in the body. Auto-immune diseases and other nerve damaging conditions may be due to high inflammation throughout the body. Red light therapy helps individuals rejuvenate from chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Hashimoto's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Scleroderma, Migraines, PTSD, and other conditions.
In addition to treating chronic pain, red light therapy is also very effective in treating neurodegenerative diseases. A study published online in 2016 attempted to evaluate the use of red light therapy and how it could help manage the effects of neurodegeneration. Their results in treating both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease with near-infrared light were overwhelmingly positive. Their Alzheimer's results in particular show increased cell survival, and decreased oxidative stress and inflammation. Parkinson's results are equally encouraging, with increased cell survival, mitochondrial function, locomotive behavior, and decreased oxidative stress.
