UN lettino per terapia con luce rossa works by using low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate various biological processes in the body. This non-invasive treatment promotes healing, regeneration, and wellness at the cellular level. Here’s a detailed explanation of how it works:
Key Components
- Luce rossa (630–700 nm):
- Targets the skin’s surface and slightly deeper layers.
- Promotes skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Reduces inflammation and improves circulation.
- Near-Infrared Light (700–1200 nm):
- Penetrates deeper into tissues, muscoli, and joints.
- Supports cellular repair, reduces pain, and enhances muscle recovery.
How It Works
- Light Absorption by Cells:
- The skin and underlying tissues absorb the light, which interacts with mitocondri (the energy-producing parts of cells).
- Mitochondria absorb the light energy and convert it into adenosina trifosfato (ATP), la valuta energetica della cellula.
- Cellular Effects:
- Increased energy production: Cells with more ATP can repair damage and function more efficiently.
- Boosted circulation: Red light improves blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
- Reduction in inflammation: The light reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, promoting faster healing.
- Therapeutic Benefits:
- Ringiovanimento della pelle: Stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles and improving skin tone and texture.
- Sollievo dal dolore: Reduces joint and muscle pain by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
- Faster Recovery: Helps muscles recover post-workout and speeds up wound healing.
- Improved Mood and Sleep: Supports the regulation of circadian rhythms and serotonin production.
Process During a Session
- Preparation:
- You lie down on the bed, ideally with minimal or no clothing to expose the targeted areas.
- Eye protection (goggles) is recommended for safety.
- Light Exposure:
- The bed emits low-level red and/or near-infrared light over your entire body.
- Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes, depending on the intensity and purpose.
- Post-Treatment:
- There’s no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
- Benefits may accumulate over several sessions.
Who Can Use It?
- Most people can safely use red light therapy beds. Tuttavia, consult a healthcare provider if you:
- Are pregnant.
- Have photosensitivity or a light-sensitive condition.
- Are taking medications that increase light sensitivity.
