Whole Body Photobiomudulation Therapy

Whole-body LED therapy, or Photobiomodulation therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level light or LED devices to deliver specific wavelengths of light to the body to stimulate cellular function and promote healing.

Whole-body LED therapy works by delivering photons of light to the cells, which are then absorbed by mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells. This absorption of light energy helps to enhance cellular metabolism and can promote various beneficial effects such as reducing inflammation, accelerating tissue repair, improving blood circulation and stimulating collagen production,.

By standing in our Luminaire Whole Body Pod for 15 minutes wearing goggles, a therapeutic dose of Red Light 633nm, 660nm and Near Infrared Light 850nm, 940nm is delivered safely to the cells in your body

When red light is applied with the right wavelength, intensity, and duration, your body’s cells react by producing more energy. So instead of just having enough energy to get by, your cells get a boost that can allow them to repair, replicate, and renew.

These wavelengths of light are believed to interact with cellular components, primarily the mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cells responsible for energy production.

When the light is absorbed by the mitochondria, it can initiate a series of cellular responses. The light energy promotes mitochondrial activity, leading to an increase in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of cells. It also triggers a cascade of biochemical events that can modulate various cellular functions, including promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, enhancing blood flow, and modulating immune responses.

Photbiomodulation Therapy has been studied and applied in various medical and therapeutic fields, including dermatology, sports medicine, wound healing, pain management, and neurorehabilitation.

1. What are the benefits of whole-body LED therapy?

Whole-body LED therapy has been reported to offer several benefits, including pain relief, improved muscle recovery, reduced inflammation, enhanced skin rejuvenation, increased collagen production, improved athletic performance, and boosted overall wellness.

Experts agree that photobiomodulation may be beneficial for:

• Skin Conditions (Psoriasis, Acne, etc.)
• Rejuvenates Skin (smooths skin tone and builds collagen)
• Chronic Pain and Inflammation
• Arthritis and Joint Pain
• Nerve Pain and Regeneration
• Immune Support
• Increased Energy
• Faster Post-Exercise Recovery (less soreness)
• Chronic Fatigue
• Auotoimmune Conditions (Exp. Fibromyalgia)
• Neurodegenerative Disease (Exp. Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS)
• Improved Fat Metabolism
• Improved Sleep
• Depression
• Anti-Ageing
• Anxiety/Stress

2. Is whole-body LED therapy safe?

Yes, whole-body LED therapy is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals and used as directed. LED devices emit non-ionizing light, meaning they don’t carry the same risks as UV radiation or higher-intensity lasers.

3. What conditions or ailments can whole-body LED therapy help with?

Whole-body LED therapy has shown promise in assisting with various conditions, such as musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, sports injuries, wound healing, acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, and general wellness enhancement. 

3. How long does a whole-body LED therapy session typically last?

The duration of a whole-body LED therapy session can vary, but it typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the specific treatment protocol and the device used.

4. How many whole-body LED therapy sessions are usually required to see results?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual, the condition being treated, and the specific goals. Typically, a series of sessions spread over several weeks may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

5. Are there any side effects or risks associated with whole-body LED therapy?

Whole-body LED therapy is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience temporary warmth, redness, or mild discomfort in the treated area. However, serious side effects are rare.

6. Can whole-body LED therapy be used in conjunction with other treatments or therapies?

Yes, whole-body LED therapy can often be used alongside other treatments or therapies, such as Infrared Saunas. It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider or the trained professional administering the therapy to ensure it is compatible with your specific situation.
