MEDICAL GRADE LIGHT THERAPY
What are the real benefits of light therapy?
What are the real benefits of light therapy?
I am proud to offer my clients the mighty JOOVV: a class 2 FDA approved light therapy medical device. Unlike most of the light therapy panels on the market, The JOOVV is indeed a medical grade device which delivers scientifically validated wavelengths at the required amount of joules to provide therapeutic results that are validated through peer-reviewed research.
How Red and Near Infrared Light Therapy Supports Skin Health:
Red and NIR light therapy can help support skin health across the entire body. When skin cell mitochondria absorbs healthy red and near infrared light it can produce more energy (ATP), in turn stimulating the synthesis of pro-collagen, collagen, basic fibroblast growth factors (bFGF), and proliferation of fibroblasts. Red and near infrared light therapy also increases microcirculation that improves cellular balance [1]. Better functioning cells translate to healthier, glowing skin that looks & feels smoother and softer.
Red and Near Infrared Light Therapy and Inflammation:
Inflammation can wreak havoc on skin health and appearance. In addition to supporting cellular health, red light therapy combined with a healthy lifestyle has been shown to have a positive impact on inflammation. [1]
Dr. Michael Hamblin of Harvard Medical School is a leading light therapy researcher. Dr. Hamblin has written about how red light therapy has the potential to reduce oxidative stress, and increase blood flow to damaged & inflamed tissues. This can help skin tissue regenerate and heal faster, reducing inflammation and improving bodily balance. [1,2]
