Women play multiple roles in their lives, but under the weight of these identities, women’s health has turned on the “red light”: physiological pain, annoying gynecological inflammation, breast hyperplasia, and dull skin and other problems are constantly troubling.
And red light phototherapy, as a non-drug intervention, non-invasive, painless, safe and comfortable emerging technology, has shown surprising results in solving health problems for many women.
How Red Light Can Improve Women’s Health Concerns
1. Red light can relieve menstrual crampsA study published in Lasers in Medical Science found that exposing tissues to red or infrared light resulted in a significant decrease in PGE2 levels (prostaglandin E2).PGE2 is one of the key factors contributing to primary dysmenorrhea, and its overproduction causes strong contraction of uterine smooth muscle and vasospasm, which leads to localized uterine ischemia and hypoxia, stimulating pain receptors, triggering dysmenorrhea symptoms.
Red light irradiation can promote local blood circulation, improve tissue nutrient metabolism, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and its mechanism includes enhancing the activity of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase, inducing nitric oxide release, usw., which results in a more stable and orderly cellular metabolism and reduces the stimulus for PGE2 synthesis, thus relieving dysmenorrhea. More in-depth studies have shown that red light can also have an anti-injurious effect on menstrual pain by reducing peripheral blood PGE2 levels
2. It has been clinically documented in related fields that phototherapy has been extended to the treatment of a variety of clinically common diseases of the female reproductive system, such as infections of the female lower genital tract, chronic pelvic pain, and promotion of postoperative wound healing, and that it has a positive effect on the postoperative recovery of various postoperative obstetric and gynaecological patients.
The results of a study published in the Shenzhen Journal of Integrative Medicine and Western Medicine showed that red light irradiation can improve cervical microcirculation in women with gestational diabetes mellitus who gave birth in normal labor and assist in reducing postpartum inflammatory reactions, thus effectively improving the prevention of postpartum infection. Analysis of the mechanism suggests that red light irradiation belongs to the range of physical therapy, without liver and kidney burden, with bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, and promote wound healing, which is particularly suitable for postnatal breastfeeding mothers in the anti-infection treatment.
- Red light is used in a variety of breast treatments
In the past relevant studies, there are many clinical literature involving red light and breast treatment associated. Zum Beispiel, An Jingke and other scholars found that red light irradiation of the mammary gland has the therapeutic effect of dredging the meridians, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, Entzündungen reduzieren, swelling and analgesia, promoting the softening and absorption of inflammatory hyperplasia and hardened tissues, improving blood circulation, and regulating the function of nerves.
The above study analyzes its mechanism and concludes that red light is used to stimulate the cerebral cortex and pituitary gland to produce feedback regulation through photochemistry with the abundant blood vessels and meridians of the mammary glands, inhibit the stimulation of estrogen on the mammary glands, improve the local microcirculation of the mammary glands, and achieve the therapeutic effect of regulating qi and blood and activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
4. Red light helps improve skin appearance
Many dermatology textbooks at home and abroad have mentioned that red light has been widely used in a variety of inflammatory skin diseases and cosmetic adjuvant therapy, and in reducing pigmentation, promote healing of lesions, and improve skin symptoms play an active and important role.
Its detailed analysis reveals that red light can have an effect on the expression of 111 different genes that are involved in cellular functions, enabling it to regulate genes related to a wide range of physiological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses. Zum Beispiel, it can upregulate the expression of certain genes that promote collagen synthesis, contributing to skin repair and firming.
MERICAN Health Pod takes care of women’s health
Zusammenfassend, red light has shown significant advantages in improving women’s skin, breast and gynecology. Zusätzlich, there are also related studies reporting that red light plays a positive regulatory role in shaping and reducing fat, relieving emotions, and soothing fatigue.
