REDWAVE RLT
Full Body Red Light Therapy (RLT)
UVASUN’s RedWave RLT system utilizes over 12,000 medical grade micro-chip LED’s to deliver red and infrared light energy in the spectrums of 633nm, 660nm, and 830nm.
THE MAIN BENEFITS DOCUMENTED IN CLINICAL TRIALS OF RLT FOR BODY REJUVENATION ARE:
-
Stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles
-
Improved skin radiance and texture
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Improved muscle recovery
-
Improved joint pain
-
Improved circulation and oxygen content in the bloodstream
-
Improved ages spots and skin scars
-
Improved wound healing
THE SCIENCE BEHIND RLT
The best-studied mechanism of action surrounding red and near-infrared light therapy is the stimulation of mitochondrial energy production in the cells. Mitochondria are tiny organelles (organs within a cell) that produce all of the energy that our cells and our bodies ultimately need.
All molecules and atoms absorb very specific wavelengths of light. The specific molecule within the mitochondria that is thought to absorb red and near-infrared light is a chemical called cytochrome C oxidase. Cytochrome C oxidase plays an absolutely essential role in transferring electrons down an electrochemical gradient in mitochondria called the electron transport chain.
The electron transport chain is what drives the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is a complex organic molecule that is considered the “currency” of energy in the body.
Red light therapy improves the efficiency and speed of the electron transport chain, improving the availability of ATP in the cells and throughout the body. This increased energy is what provides the many benefits that red light therapy is used for.
