Joovv Red Light Therapy in West Greenwich

Light therapy in West Greenwich, also known as photo biomodulation (PBM), is a natural, non-invasive therapy that delivers beneficial wavelengths of light to your skin and cells.  There are many lights the human eye can see but there are also many more the human eye can not see. Only a select range of red and near-infrared light is clinically therapeutic for the purposes of PBM.

What is Red Light Therapy in West Greenwich?

Red light therapy is a form of healing for our body using concentrated natural light. It delivers therapeutic red and near-infrared wavelengths as natural sunlight, one of the key nutrients that humans need to thrive.

Most of us do not get enough natural sunlight and light wavelengths day-to-day to support our body’s healing and regenerative functions. When you do receive these beneficial lights on a consistent basis, our cells become energized enough to power our body, heal effectively, and work properly. It can boost your mood, improve your skin, cognitive and memory benefits, heal injuries, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, create hormone balance and homeostasis in the body.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red light therapy works by using wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to treat the body. At the center of the spectrum are light wavelengths that provide a variety of health benefits, such as sunlight, red light, and near-infrared light. Joovv red light therapy provides both red (650nm) and near-infrared lights (850 nm) that penetrate and get absorbed into the body to provide unique healing properties.

Red vs Infrared Light

Red light

• Visible to the eye
• Deep skin therapy
• Acne
• Wrinkles
• Wound healing
• Sun damage
• Inflammatory skin conditions for example eczema

Near-infrared (NIR) light: penetrates much more deeply than red light (penetrates bone)

• Targets soft tissue
• Targets Bone
• Deep injuries
• It can also help treat neurological disorders such as improving memory, concentration, depression, and anxiety.

Who Uses Light Therapy?

NASA began using red light therapy for wound healing after finding that it activated natural plant growth in space. Since then, the FDA has approved it as a therapy for treating minor pains and arthritis and there has been extensive clinical research on its various applications. Red light therapy has been shown to boost immune function, sleep, circulation, reduce inflammation and pain, promote faster healing and muscle recovery, skin rejuvenation, collagen production, hormone balancing, thyroid regulation, weight loss and cognitive function.

Backed By Science

Light Therapy is Backed by Decades of Science and Peer-Reviewed Clinical Research. It is a widely-used health intervention backed by a large amount of peer-reviewed clinical research. NASA studied light therapy in the late 1980s and 1990s for use in space, and over the last two decades, researchers have conducted over a thousand peer-reviewed trials and studies on various kinds of light therapy (also referred to as photo biomodulation or low-level laser therapy). The clinical consensus is that red and NIR light treatments are generally safe and effective, with a wide range of potential uses.
