INFRARED THERAPY IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO WORK FOR NEUROPATHY

/

Nerves are the cause of pain for those who suffer from neuropathy. Nerves that carry messages to and from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body become damaged or diseased. The damage to these nerves interrupts communication between the brain and other parts of your body, and can impair muscle movement, preventing normal sensation in the arms and legs. Not to mention – a lot of pain.

The good news is, no matter the cause of your nerve pain (an injury, infection, diabetes, autoimmune disease etc.) – infrared light therapy is proven to help.

The key to dramatic relief LED Phototherapy bring is Nitric Oxide. Nitric oxide is a short-lived gas that is crucial to the health of your arteries. This powerful signaling molecule relaxes them, regulates blood pressure, fights free radicals and prevents platelets from clumping together. But studies show with infrared treatment, numbing and sensation loss improved by 66% and pain levels reduced by 67%.

Here's one astounding study (click to view).

... In 2006, 2239 people suffering from foot numbness caused by Diabetes were treated with infrared photo energy. About half of them was were also suffering from Neuropathy pain (with a pain level of 7.2 out of 10). But the study showed with infared treatment, numbing and sensation loss improved by 66% and pain levels reduced by 67%. The study concluded:

“MIRE (Monochromatic Infrared Photo Energy) appears to be associated with significant clinical improvement in foot sensation and, simultaneously, a reduction in neuropathic pain in a large cohort of primarily Medicare aged, community-dwelling patients, initially diagnosed with PN. The quality of life associated with these two outcomes cannot be under-appreciated”

Who Can Benefit from Infrared Phototherapy for Neuropathy?

Infrared light therapy in the 850-890nm range (also known as cold laser) has been proven effective for nerve pain and sensation-loss, no matter the root cause. This means that IR energy can help all types and root causes for Neuropathy, including:

  • Peripheral Neuropathy
  • Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Local Nerve pain
  • Facial Nerve Problems
  • Nerve pain from Chemotherapy
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Shingles
  • Lyme disease
  • Nerve pain from hypothyroidism
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Non-Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Idiopathic Neuropathy

WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT RESULTS?

With IR therapy, many people we know feel almost immediate pain relief, which lasts for about 6 hours. For others, the pain starts to fade away only after a week or two of daily use. Infrared therapy does not only mask the pain, but speeds up healing. With long-term treatment you may be surprised to find that your pain and numbness are gone.

The infrared light therapy in our phototherapy pads and wraps for pain and rejuvenation use the same range wavelengths as used in this study. 

FIND RELIEF FROM CHRONIC PAIN WITH LED NEAR AND FAR INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY

Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia are well-known culprits of chronic pain but pain from cancer or other disease can also be the cause. With red light therapy, you’ll be able to reduce inflammation and swelling- two very large factors in dealing with chronic pain. Red light is FDA approved for treating chronic pain. In illness or injury, white blood cells gather at the site of damage, creating inflammation. "Chronic wounds are 'stuck' in the inflammatory phase of healing, after injury or illness triggers the immune response. Red and NIR light therapy resets the mitochondria so they can function normally again by triggering the cells to make anti-inflammatory proteins that will speed healing, while turning on antioxidant and energy-boosting genes. NIR light, which is invisible to the human eye, can provide therapeutic relief for people suffering from many types of inflammation, as well as arthritis.

Light therapy is really about channeling a wavelength of light energy to tissue that can activate the regenerative capacity of the cells, working quickly, effectively and gently treat from home, providing a great improvement in quality of patient life. 

The bio-mechanisms of light therapy also help to reduce pain in several other ways. One study found the anti-inflammatory effect of light therapy to be very similar to the pharmacological treatment of pain, but without the obvious potential for unpleasant or even serious adverse effects.

Tests into rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia have shown red and infrared treatments, applied individually, or in combination can give effective short and medium term pain relief. 

Red and infrared wavelengths can penetrate tissues of the dermis between 1.0 and 2.0 inches..  The absorbed light energy is converted into biochemical energy in the form of nitric oxide. 

Naturally produced by the body, nitric oxide is a short-lived gas that widens and relaxes the blood vessels. In particular in the large veins and arteries. 

After just a short treatment time blood flow is increased to nerves and other tissues. This boost in local circulation is one of the reasons for the pain relief from fibromyalgia,  osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

LIGHT THERAPY OFFERS A VISIBLE REDUCTION TO CELLULITE AND FAT

/

The Studies are clear: cellulite light therapy offers visible reductions to cellulite. 

Combining NIR and Infrared Light with more common cellulite treatments, such as gels, massagers, exercise and detox results in boosting collagen and elastin production (reversing breakdown of collagen typical to cellulite, and fixing damaged skin).

Infrared heat improves lymphatic drainage, essential to any cellulite treatment to prevent swelling. 

This fat thickness reduction was proven with objective tools such as photographic evaluation, blood tests, and ecographic evaluation.

The study concluded: "In this study we have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the combination between low-level laser therapy and vibration therapy for the resolution of localized adiposity and fibrous cellulite".

  • Another study (click for link), has found: "The low-level, dual-wavelength laser energy and massage device safely improves the appearance of cellulite while reducing thigh circumference"
  • Another promising study has found that 90% of subjects, treated twice a day with an anti-cellulite gel, and 15-minute red & infrared LED light therapy twice a week – were downgraded to a lower cellulite grade by clinical examination, digital photography, and pinch test assessment.

The results of this small but well-documented, randomized, double-blinded study: "eight of nine thighs with Grade II-III cellulite responded positively to a novel, combined 3-month treatment program of a phosphatidylcholine-based, anti-cellulite gel and LED exposure, as determined by the clinical determinants obtained"

  • And this study has found that a group of women working out on stationary bicycles 3 times a week for 4 weeks and exposed to infrared light therapy lost an average of 8 cm’s or 444% (!) more body fat – compared to 20 women doing the same without infrared radiation.

For Fat Loss

Research has discovered that red light waves in the 635nm range actually cause fat cells to dump their contents. After8 minutes exposure to red light, fat cells empty. Where does all the fat go? The released waste enters the interstitial layers where they can be naturally metabolized by the body and flushed out. Red light therapy in the waves we use in our slimmign and detoxifying wrap- 635nm, and 850nm waves which help boost the body's ability to process and release the expelled fats, cause:

  • Fast and effective lipolysis of the fat cells for fat loss and detoxification;
  • Reduction of the appearance of cellulite;
  • Increased collagen formation for skin rejuvenation;
  • Increased skin radiance and skin elasticity;
  • Boosted lymph system activity to benefit weight loss.
  • Increased metabolic activity and energy

EXACTLY HOW & WHY RED LIGHT THERAPY MAKES SKIN LOOK YOUNGER

/

 

1. Increases circulation and the formation of new capillaries. This brings an immediate healthy glow to the skin, and paves the way for you to maintain a more youthful and healthier appearance, as new capillaries mean more oxygen and nutrients to each skin cell every day.

2. Increases lymph system activity. This reduces swelling and puffiness. These results would also be noticed after the first and each subsequent treatment. Again, this paves the way for less puffiness in the future as the lymph system is actually made more efficient over time, resulting in healthier skin overall.

3. Stimulates the production of collagen and fibroblasts. Collagen is what is responsible for the elasticity, firmness, and fullness of your skin. The  increased production of collagen and fibroblasts is what will smooth out your fine lines and wrinkles, smooth the texture of the skin, and reduce pore size over time. Collagen cells grow slowly, so be patient, and expect to see “before and after” results at about three months of consistent treatment.

4. Causes the release of ATP, or raw cellular energy. This provides energy to the cells to make the most of the additional blood, oxygen, nutrients, detoxification, growth, and repair already initiated by your red light therapy treatments.

The cells and tissue in the dermis layer of skin will convert light energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphates), which is the fuel for the cell. The fibroblast cells in the dermis layer have the job of producing collagen (which give the skin fullness or that plumped look) and elastin (which gives the skin it’s flexibility, it’s ability to spring back).

Red Light Therapy gives the cells the fuel, and the fibroblast cells start to produce collagen and elastin as if we were young again.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM RED LIGHT THERAPY?
 

Red light therapy is not an instant solution, however many people have seen some effects from the very first session. It will take several treatments normally over a few weeks to see full results. However you can expect to see considerable improvement over the course of treatment with:

  • Smoother skin tone

  • Reduction of large pores

  • Reduction of age spots

  • Reduction of wrinkles

  • Reduction of crow’s feet

  • Reduction of fore head and under eye wrinkles

  • Repair of sun damage

  • Fading of scars and stretch marks

  • Return of a healthy glow
