There has been a recent surge of studies of the use of light therapy for health, but the idea behind this technology is from ancient wisdom...
The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians were using light therapy and heat to tender points on the body to relieve symptoms from many syndromes. But it wasn't until the 1900s that the benefits of different wavelengths of light came to be acknowledged.
In 1903, a Danish doctor named Nils Finsen won the Nobel Prize for successfully treating lupus vulgaris, rickets, and tuberculosis with ultraviolet light. This was the first time the use of artificial light was recognized. In 1967, Dr. Enre Mester, a Hungarian professor of surgery, performed a revolutionary series of experiments that documented the healing effects of lasers. He discovered that tissue growth was accelerated with laser therapy, and his later experiments showed that there was improved healing, not only locally, but systemically. It would take over a decade before this work would be appreciated in America. In the 1980s, NASA performed multiple red light therapy studies showing that low level light can have a healing influence on the body, based on the wavelength of light used, including stimulating collagen formation and improving circulation. Since the 1980s, a wealth of studies have found low level laser light therapy effective for health benefits such as tissue repair, pain control, fat reduction, memory and more. |

A Sample of Recent Studies
1. Low level light therapy has been shown to liquefy fat (stored in adipose tissue) and release it from the adipocyte (fat cell). This study examined how 635 nm wavelength (the strongest wavelength our treatment uses) released 99% of the fat in around 9 minutes, without damage to the cell.
2. Low level light therapy (LLLT) using light from red and near infrared LEDs or Lasers have been reported effective as noninvasive methods for reducing spot fat. It was concluded that red and near infrared LED phototherapy combined with aerobic exercise would be effective and safe for abdominal fat reduction without any side effects. Lim, Sungkyoo and Eal-Whan Park. “Spot fat reduction by red and near infrared LED phototherapy.” BiOS (2018). 3. Photobiomodulation (PBM) also known as low-level level laser therapy is the use of red and near-infrared light to stimulate healing, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation. Effects of photon absorption include increases in ATP, a brief burst of reactive oxygen species, an increase in nitric oxide, and modulation of calcium levels. PBM can reduce inflammation in the brain, abdominal fat, wounds, lungs, spinal cord. Hamblin, Michael R. “Mechanisms and applications of the anti-inflammatory effects of photobiomodulation.” AIMS biophysics (2017). 4. A 2013 study found benefits from red light therapy at 635 nm for contouring the hips, thighs, and waist. At the end of the two-week trial, researchers found a mean loss of 2.99 inches in overall body size compared to the starting point. Separately, the thigh, waist, and hip areas all showed a reduction too. Researchers concluded that red light therapy at this wavelength was safe and clinically effective. There are over 70 studies in the literature for red light therapy, infrared light therapy, or by the names of low level light therapy, or photobiomodulation therapy.... |
