Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy) at Holistic Hyperbarics

What is Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy)?

The LightStim LED bed is FDA-cleared to relieve arthritic pain, a variety of minor aches and pains, relax muscles and increase local blood circulation. You can use it for post-workout soreness, accidents and sports injuries, backaches, arthritis and stiffness.

Red Light Therapy (RLT) works by repetitively exposing your skin to low levels of red and near-infrared light for a certain period of time. The LEDs deliver light energy in a way similar to how plants absorb light energy from the sun.  At low wavelengths, red light doesn’t generate heat and can penetrate the skin several millimeters deep. RLT is a non-invasive, soothing and gentle treatment that sets in motion the body’s inherent pain-relieving process. 

This red light exposure is thought to produce a positive biochemical effect in your cells that strengthens the mitochondria where the cell’s energy is created. By increasing the energy of the mitochondria, cells function more efficiently, as well as rejuvenate and repair themselves. This can result in increased blood flow, reduced inflammation and increased production of collagen.

Patients have reported Red Light Therapy helps with many conditions, including: 

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Tendinitis

  • Wound healing

 

  • Acne scars

  • Wrinkles and fine lines

  • Mood and mental clarity

 

Why Red Light Therapy and HBOT?

Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy) and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy complement each other beautifully. While Red Light Therapy enhances cellular energy production and promotes healing at a cellular level, HBOT floods the body with oxygen, optimizing the healing process. Together, they create a synergistic effect, accelerating recovery, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall wellness.

Relax, listen to music or meditate while enjoying this soothing and restorative treatment.

Note: There are some contraindications to RLT, please consult with your doctor and review all contraindications on our Red Light intake form before scheduling a session.
