लाल प्रकाश चिकित्सा (आरएलटी) is widely used for skin rejuvenation, दर्द निवारक, और समग्र कल्याण. तथापि, some people worry: can red light therapy cause cancer or promote the growth of cancer cells? This article explores the science behind RLT and its safety profile.
रेड लाइट थेरेपी कैसे काम करती है
रेड लाइट थेरेपी का उपयोग specific wavelengths of red (600-700 एनएम) और निकट-अवरक्त (800–1000 nm) रोशनी to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular energy (एटीपी उत्पादन). This can:
- Promote tissue repair and healing
- सूजन कम करें
- Support collagen production
महत्वपूर्ण बात, आरएलटी does not involve UV radiation, which is the type of light linked to DNA damage and skin cancer.
Does Red Light Therapy Cause Cancer?
What the Research Shows
- Studies indicate that red and near-infrared light do not cause DNA mutations that lead to cancer.
- आरएलटी stimulates healthy cell function rather than causing uncontrolled cell growth.
- Research in clinical and lab settings has not found evidence that RLT promotes tumor growth in healthy tissues.
When to Exercise Caution
- Individuals with active cancer or tumors should consult a healthcare professional रेड लाइट थेरेपी का उपयोग करने से पहले.
- Professional advice ensures treatment is safe and does not interfere with ongoing cancer therapies.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy Without Cancer Risk
- त्वचा का स्वास्थ्य: झुर्रियों को कम करता है, निशान, और रंजकता
- दर्द निवारक: Helps with joint pain, वात रोग, और मांसपेशियों की रिकवरी
- घाव भरने: Supports tissue repair and inflammation reduction
Safety Guidelines
- Use devices with proper wavelength (600–700 nm red, 800–1000 nm NIR).
- Avoid overexposure: Follow manufacturer guidelines for duration and distance.
- Consult a doctor if you have a history of cancer or are undergoing treatment.
- Do not replace medical treatments for serious conditions.
निष्कर्ष
Current research shows that red light therapy does not cause cancer and is generally safe for healthy individuals. While people with active cancer should consult a healthcare professional, RLT can be safely used for skin, दर्द निवारक, and wellness without increasing cancer risk.
