What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation uses low-level red and near-infrared light from LED panels. It isn’t UV light so don't worry it doesn’t tan or burn the skin. The idea is that your cells absorb the light and use it to support their own energy production so simply all you have to do is sit or stand in front of the full body panel.
What are the benefits of red light therapy?
Research is still developing and results can vary but what I have found is that most of the studied evidence supports, Skin health by increased collagen and the appearance of fine lines, muscle recovery easing soreness after exercise by reducing inflammation throughout the body, joint comfort by supporting localised aches and stiffness and also relaxation, many people simply find it calming it also helps promote serotonin.
How often should you use red light therapy?
There’s no single agreed time but studies suggest 3 to 5 times a week for recovery, with skin results taking several weeks to show. Consistency matters more than intensity, so adding it to your weekly routine is a great place to start. And it's even easier to do this as it's included on all your contrast therapy session here at the hub.
How long should a session be?
Typically 5 to 20 minutes, but myself or a member of the Revitalise Hub team will advise you on your first visit just ask at the reception and were be happy to help.
Who should use red light therapy?
It suits active people supporting recovery, anyone with sore muscles or joints, people interested in skin health, and anyone who wants a calm addition to a sauna and ice bath session. It truly is amazing.
