What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is a treatment that has been in use for decades. Used by NASA to keep the astronauts healthy while they were in space, and it is being more widely used for overall healing and wellness to treat a variety of health and skin concerns.

Red light therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation, which uses the power of light to improve the function of mitochondria in your body’s cells, jump-starting your body’s natural healing functions to reduce inflammation, generate new cells, and overall healing. Red light therapy is commonly used by athletes for helping muscle recovery and reducing pain, but it is also used for aesthetic purposes to:

• Reduce wrinkles
• Tighten skin
• Reduce bruising, redness, and swelling
• Lighten age spots and melasma
• Reduce cellulite formation
• Prevent and stop acne from forming
• Improve the appearance of acne scarring
• Treat eczema and psoriasis
• Remove unwanted fat

The Prism Light Pod

At CaloSpa, we use the Prism Light Pod, which has been specially designed to optimize the frequency and intensity of the red light therapy to address some of the most common complaints our patients seek treatment to address:

• Skin laxity
• Age spots
• Joint pain and inflammation
• Scar and wound therapy
• Weight loss

This red light therapy bed enables us to treat the whole body, resulting in improved outcomes and better results than other handheld red light devices.

Prism Light Pod uses specific wavelengths of red light, which is absorbed by the body’s cells, energizing the mitochondria in the cells, which stimulates healing to reduce inflammation, flush toxins, reduce pain, stimulate collagen production, helps improve muscle recovery and healing, and stimulates weight loss.

The Prism Light Pod does not emit any UV rays, making it safe for all skin types.

Skin Tightening

One of the most popular uses of red light therapy at CaloSpa is improving skin’s tone and texture. Red light therapy works on a cellular level, energizing the skin’s cells to promote turnover and healing, resulting in more collagen and elastin production, which in turn produces tighter, refreshed skin.

Not only does red light therapy work to stimulate the skin cells, but it helps reduce your stress levels, helping you achieve an all over glow from the inside out.

When used in combination with other skin resurfacing and tightening treatments, like RF microneedling, Forever Young BBL™ laser skin rejuvenation, EMFACE®, and Sofwave™ skin tightening, red light therapy can help enhance and improve your results.

Fade Dark Spots

Another common complaint we hear from patients is related to dark spots and melasma caused by sun damage or hormone changes. Red light therapy works with the body’s cells to break down and fade dark spots over time.

At CaloSpa, we recommend combining red light therapy with laser skin resurfacing, MOXI™ laser skin treatments, or ClearSilk® to help even out pigment and restore your skin’s youthful glow.

Lose Unwanted Fat

Along with diet and exercise, red light therapy can help you lose weight. Through a combination of red light and near infrared light, the Prism Light Pod helps burn fat, reduce fat cells, and increase your metabolism to help you lose weight.

The Prism Light Pod works to support weight loss in several ways:

• Improved metabolism: Red light therapy increases cellular energy, which in turn results in a faster metabolism, which helps burn calories and fat more quickly.
• Reduces fat cells: Red light naturally attacks and kills fat cells, creating pore-like openings in the cells to release the fatty acids, known as lipids, to leak out and reducing the number of fat cells in the body.
• Improved sleep: Red light therapy works to promote melatonin production in the body, which supports your body’s natural sleep cycle. Improved sleep is known to help promote healing and weight loss.
• Less stress: The release of melatonin can help reduce your body’s stress levels, which can lead to better sleep and increased energy levels throughout the day to help support health weight loss.

When red light therapy is combined with Skinny Shots at CaloSpa, most patients looking to lose weight have seen a loss of 20 – 25 pounds over the course of their first 90 days using the Prism Light Pod for weight loss. When combined with a proper diet and consistent exercise, you can expect to lose weight and improve your overall health over time.
