The Red Light Therapy (RLT) equipment at The Vale Practice uses frequencies of 630nm, 660nm, 810nm, 830nm and 850nm with the main frequencies being 660nm and 850nm

Frequency Benefits of Red Light Exposure (RLT) 620-750nm:

• Skin Health: RLT is known to stimulate collagen production, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture.
• Pain Management: Similar to infrared light, RLT can help reduce pain and inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like arthritis and muscle soreness.
• Wound Healing: RLT may promote faster healing of wounds, burns, and surgical incisions by enhancing cell regeneration and reducing inflammation.
• Hair Growth: Some studies suggest that RLT can stimulate hair follicles, leading to increased hair growth in individuals with certain types of hair loss.
• Joint Health: People with joint disorders like osteoarthritis may experience reduced pain and improved joint mobility after undergoing RLT.
• Mood Enhancement: Exposure to red light has been linked to improved mood and decreased symptoms of depression, possibly due to its positive effects on energy production in cells.
• Cognitive Function: Preliminary research indicates that RLT might have a positive impact on brain health, potentially improving cognitive function and memory.
• Hormone Regulation: RLT might play a role in hormonal balance by influencing the production of melatonin and thyroid hormones.
• Immune System Support: Similar to infrared light, RLT can enhance the immune system’s response to infections and other health challenges

Frequency Benefits of Near-infrared Light Exposure (NIR) 750nm-1000nm:

• Pain Relief: NIR has been used to alleviate pain from conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and joint pain. It may help by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
• Improved Circulation: NIR can stimulate blood circulation, which may aid in delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and promoting overall cardiovascular health.
• Wound Healing: NIR has been shown to enhance wound healing by increasing blood flow to the affected area and promoting tissue regeneration.
• Relaxation and Stress Reduction: NIR cab have a relaxing effect on the body and mind, potentially reducing stress and anxiety levels.
• Enhanced Skin Health: NIR may improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity by promoting collagen production and increasing blood flow to the skin.
• Reduced Inflammation: NIR’s ability to increase blood flow and modulate immune responses may contribute to a reduction in chronic inflammation.
• Muscle Recovery: Athletes and fitness enthusiast use infrared therapy to speed up recovery after intense workouts by reducing muscle fatigue and inflammation.
• Improved Sleep: Regular use of NIR, especially in the evening, might promote better sleep by helping to regulate the body’s circadian rhythms.
• Enhance Immune Function: Some research suggests that exposure to NIR might stimulate immune responses, potentially boosting the body’s defence mechanisms against infections.
