THE BEAUTY OF RED LIGHT THERAPY


Your skin has the ability to regenerate its cells through the absorption of red and infrared light, which reverses the visible signs of aging. No longer do chemical injections or surgical procedures need to be the only methods of regaining a youthful look.

Deep Penetrating Light Therapy (DPL) was designed around research originally done by NASA. By using this easy to use unit for nine minutes, twice a day, a dramatic tightening of the skin will start to occur, causing a smoother, less wrinkled and more supple look. In as few as four treatments many begin to see and feel a difference. Once your skin has healed, generally in about a month, it is recommended that two treatments per week be continued for maintaining the quality of your skin. A 90% rate of success has been reported.

THE SCIENCE OF RED LIGHT THERAPY

The Red Light Therapy DPL is one of the few non-invasive tools available that can reverse the effects of aging skin, such as wrinkles, mottled skin tone and enlarged pores. The DPL is the most advanced non-invasive system available to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, creases, furrows and crow's-feet. It greatly improves the skin’s texture while healing blemishes and reducing overall redness. By creating more skin moisture, the light therapy helps irregular pigmentation to reduce melanin production which causes age spots and helps sun-damaged skins. The metabolic functions of the skin are instantly stimulated to smooth texture and lessen pore size and skin coarseness. Red and Infrared led lights have been proven to reduce the visible signs of aging and provide a smoother, younger complexion. The DPL induces a thermal like effect in the tissue. The light raises the temperature of the cells although there is no heat produced from the diodes themselves. Dermatologist and doctors have been using such lights for years to successfully reduce wrinkles. The Deep Penetrating Light Therapy is a natural and non-painful treatment that will quickly plump, refresh and replenish your skin from deep within. You will have no more need for expensive procedures such as surgery, peels, or injections.

LED Photons must be absorbed to produce a biological response. All biological systems have a unique absorption spectrum, this uniqueness determines which wavelengths of light will be absorbed to produce a given therapeutic effect. The visible red and invisible infrared portions of the spectrum have been shown to be highly absorbent and produce unique restorative effects in living tissues. It is known that light photons are absorbed by the skin and underlying tissue triggering biological changes within the body in a process know as photobiomodulation. Although the exact mechanism of action is still undergoing study, what is known is that monochromatic light increases oxygen and blood flow, facilitating wound healing.

VISIBLE vs INVISIBLE - MEETS NASA RESEARCH

Visible Red light, at a wavelength of 660 nanometers and invisible Infrared light at 880 nm penetrates tissue to a depth of 8-10 mm. LED light is very beneficial in treating problems close to the skin’s surface such as wounds, cuts, and scars. Skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light and infrared light waves very readily and deliver energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself.

We have all heard how space technology can benefit us all here on earth, well this is no exception when we look at LED therapy. NASA needed a means to produce light without the added heat produced by incandescent light bulbs for space missions and their plant experiments. NASA settled on (LED’s) because of their ability to produce a scattered light of various wavelengths that were of benefit to plants in the confinements of a space vehicle in space flight, while producing no significant increase in thermal heat. They worked. The LED’s that produced near-infrared light used in NASA’s research were shown to stimulate the basic energy processes by activating color sensitive chemicals within the cells. DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and muscle cells had been quintupled. The light absorbed by the cells stimulated the metabolism in muscle and bone as well as skin and subcutaneous tissue. What people and animals had felt through utilizing this technology in real life, NASA was proving to be true in the laboratory. DNA synthesis in fibroblasts and muscle cells has been quintupled using NASA LED light alone, in a single application combining 680, 730 and 880 nm each at 4 Joules per centimeter squared. The Red Light Therapy DPL System meets those very measurements proven by NASA.

THE BEST ANTI-AGING DEVICE IN THE WORLD


The Deep Penetrating Light Therapy device uses proprietary light emitting diodes based on the NASA study about wound healing. The DPL System goes deep into the skin’s layers, stimulating fibroblasts (protein cells) which increase the collagen and elastin production and aids in the repair process of the skin. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers. Collagen is the most common protein found in the body and is essential to repair and replace damaged and old tissue. Collagen is the substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production, less scar tissue is formed and the skin is instantly renewed.

The Deep Penetrating Light Therapy increases vascularity (circulation). By forming new capillaries to replace damaged ones, more oxygen and nutrients can be carried trough the blood vessels to accelerate the healing process and purify your skin from the debris, sweat, air pollution, excess oil and bacteria that remain.

DPL releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the major carrier of energy to all cells, and increases lymphatic system activity to reduce edema. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the arterial diameters can also be increased. This means that both parts of edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling.

Deep Penetrating Light therapy increases the release of RNA and DNA synthesis which help the damaged cells to be replaced more promptly and reduce the excitability of nervous tissue. As a result, the body accelerates the process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection fighting process as the destruction of the infection and its clean up must occur before the healing process can take place.

The Benefits of DPL Therapy for Pain and Healing:
Besides its anti-aging benefits, the DPL system is effective in relieving muscle and joint aches, sprains, and helps accelerate healing after an injury or surgery. DPL Therapy can:

• Increase circulation, to allow easier blood flow to damaged areas, which helps speed the healing process.
• Stimulate the production of collagen, which is an essential protein to rebuild tissue and decrease scar tissue.
• Increase lymphatic system activity, which decreases swelling.
• Stimulate the release of ATP, which is the major carrier of energy to cells, to allow cells to accept nutrients faster.
• Increase RNA and DNA synthesis, to help damaged cells be replaced more quickly.
• Reduce the excitability of nerve tissue, which acts to relieve pain.
• Stimulate endorphins and enkephalins, which act as a non-narcotic and natural analgesic to reduce pain.

MORE RESEARCH - MORE SCIENCE - MORE PROOF


• Red Light Therapy increases the circulation. Circulation is increased by optimizing the formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.

• Red Light Therapy stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.

• Red Light Therapy stimulateS the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. ATP provides the chemical energy that drives the chemical reaction of the cell. It is the bodies natural fuel.

• Red Light Therapy increases lymphatic system activity. Edema, which is the swelling or natural splinting process of the body, has two basic components. The first is a liquid part, which can be evacuated by the blood system, and the second is comprised of the proteins, which have to be evacuated by the lymphatic system. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the arterial diameters can also be increased. This means that both parts of edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling.

• Red Light Therapy increases RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.

• Red Light Therapy reduces the excitability of tissue. The photons of light energy enter the body as negative ions. This calls upon the body to send positive ions like calcium among others to go to the area being treated.

• Red Light Therapy stimulates fibroblastic activity. Which aids in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.

• Increase phagocytes. Which is the process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection fighting process. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before the healing process can take place.

• Induce a thermal like effect in the tissue. The light raises the temperature of the cells although there is little heat produced from the diodes themselves.

CONCLUSION:
Red Light Therapy is the answer to taking the best care of your skin possible.
