How does it work? Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, doing things like repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.

What is the difference between the color light therapies? 

Three different light therapies within our LED Light Bed are offered.

• Red light wavelengths offer benefits such as deep muscle recovery and stimulation of collagen production.

• Green light wavelengths offer improved skin texture and reduction of hyperpigmentation.

• Blue light wavelengths offer cleansing properties to remove bacteria caused blemishes, improve overall appearance of skin, and promote attention and focus.

Is it safe? Red light therapy appears to be safe and isn’t associated with any side effects, if used as directed. This therapy isn’t toxic and not invasive. Unlike the cancer-causing ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning booths, RLT doesn’t use this type of light.

Who should not use RLT? If you have a seizure disorder, anyone taking photosensitizing drugs (including tetracycline, doxycycline, hydrochlorothiazide, naproxen). Anyone with open wounds.

Is RLT covered by insurance? Like most most holistic and homeopathic treatments RLT is not covered by insurance.  However, your healthcare provider can write you a prescription for light therapy and submit for possible reimbursement form your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Is RLT safe while pregnant? The National Library of Medicine sites that RLT is safe for mother and fetus. 

Is RLT good for kids? For most individuals RLT is considered safe and non-invasive, therefore no age limit is associated with it. Redjuvenate does allow light treatments on minors 12 months and older,  with signed parental consent. It is advise to consult your healthcare expert before starting treatments. We also recommend a form of entertainment for the littler ones i.e. ipad, book to read, etc.

What should I wear? Dress down to your comfort level, wether thats your birthday suit or your bathing suit. The light treatment is most effective without barriers between your skin and the light.
