What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is an emerging treatment that’s showing promise in treating wrinkles, scars, acne, and other signs of aging!
How does red light therapy supposedly 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, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.
Red Light Therapy May Work In Skin Health To:
1. Stimulate collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity.
2. Increase fibroblast production, which makes collagen. Collagen is a component of connective tissue that builds skin.
3. Increase blood circulation to the tissue.
4. Reduce inflammation in cells.
For what skin conditions is red light therapy being tried?
Red light therapy is promoted as a treatment for some common skin conditions, including to:
- Improve wound healing.
- Reduce stretch marks.
- Reduce wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
- Improve facial texture.
- Improve psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema.
- Improve scars.
- Improve sun damaged skin.
- Improve hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia.
- Improve acne.
What other medical conditions is red light therapy being promoted for?
Other potential medical uses being investigated include:
- To reduce cancer chemotherapy side effects, including oral mucositis.
- To relieve pain and inflammation associated with ankle tendonitis, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis of the knee.
- To prevent cold sore from herpes simplex virus from recurring.
Infrared saunas at Tillman Family Chiropractic in Freeport FL have similar benefits to using regular heat saunas without the discomfort of feeling “too hot.” It heats your body without heating the air around you using three infrared wavelengths–near, mid, and far. These wavelengths help produce blood circulation and reduce muscle tension, according to the Spa Industry Association.
Infrared Saunas Promote Natural Healing
Infrared saunas use invisible light that produces heat deep in your tissues without raising the heat in the sauna room. This therapy is a great alternative for patients who cannot tolerate the high heat and humidity of a traditional sauna. The infrared sauna at our clinic in Freeport, Florida blends three optimal wavelengths–near, mid, and far–to achieve optimal healing in your body.
After just a few minutes in the infrared sauna, your skin will begin to sweat, your heart rises, and your blood vessels widen increasing blood flow through your body. This process actually mimics a cardio workout! It’s great knowing you can “work out” by relaxing. In addition to relaxation, infrared saunas help reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and detoxify the body due to increased circulation and sweating.

Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas are gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes healing throughout your body. This is due to the use of three different types of infrared wavelengths rather than using extremely hot temperatures. Each wavelength targets a different layer of the body promoting various health benefits according to an article on the National Library of Medicine.
Near Infrared
Near infrared (NIR) is the shortest infrared wavelength and penetrates the skin’s surface effectively. NIR impacts the near-the-surface areas promoting skin renewal, cell health, wound healing, and tissue growth.
Mid Infrared
Mid infrared (MIR) is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue where inflammation occurs. MIR helps expand blood vessels and increases circulation, so more oxygen can reach injured areas of the body. This reduces pain and speeds up the healing process.
Far Infrared
The longest wavelength, far infrared (FIR), reaches deepest into the body, where toxins are stored. By raising your core body temperature, FIR stimulates the sweat glands, resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat that leaves you feeling revitalized. Plus, since sweating increases heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate, you’re also burning calories. FIR helps to reduce blood pressure and weight loss.
