Pain and Wound Healing With Red Light

For anyone suffering from injury or a chronic condition, reducing pain is a top priority. Light therapy is a particularly effective treatment. It works by penetrating muscle and connective tissue to stimulate the growth of healthy tissue, increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation.

The warmth of treatments offer an increase of serotonin and feeling of well-being. This can contribute to a decreased perception of pain. Red light is a non-pharmaceutical way to offer relief without the potentially harmful side-effects of anti-inflammatory medications.

Healing wounds quickly has psychological as well as physical benefits! Red light activates stem cells and reduces inflammation. This process accelerates wound healing and supports the formation of collagen density and healthy tissue. Facial scarring has been shown to cause psychological distress and scarring at or around one’s joints can impair mobility and cause pain.

Red Light Therapy is used to soften and reduce the appearance of burn scars, stretch marks, keloid scars, and hyper-trophic scars. It also helps to prevent new scarring by encouraging cells to collect around a wound to form healthy, normal cells.
