Red Light Therapy

Photobiomodulation (Red Light Therapy / RLT) has been around for some time now & has been used by Hollywood actors to keep smooth skin, heal skin, help with hair loss & fight wrinkles, fine lines & aging. Athletes use RLT to speed up muscle recovery & RLT is commonly used by people with all sorts of physical & cognitive ailments. RLT is commonly used within the NHS for muscle tear rehabilitation & Muscularskeletal issues, including speeding up the recovery of sprains & broken bones among other things.

Light is measured in Nanometres. Between 600-800nm is Red Light & is good for skin & surface issues, while 800-1000nm is Near Infrared Light (NIR), which penetrates deeper into the body to work at a cellular level for many different physical & cognitive ailments.

We will be using the state of the art Medi Bed 5, which with 38,600 LED lights as standard, comes with 4 nanometre frequency settings, 633nm, 660nm, 850nm & 940nm. We have however had our brand new bed customized to also include 810nm, which is vital for cognitive issues. Typically, Photobiomodulation beds don’t come with the 810nm setting, due to expense, so it’s a big plus that we’ve gone for this essential upgrade. On the Medi Bed 5, its possible to use any combination of these settings together. With traditional Red Light Therapy Beds, 20 minutes is needed per session, but with this new state of the art bed, less time is needed, so 10 or 12 minute sessions should suffice or 15 minute sessions as a maximum depending on what ailments need to be treated.

We at Bed Light & Beyond are committed to researching other Photobiomodulation devices, also aimed at Cognitive issues, skin issues & hair loss issues & will keep you updated with new findings as we move forward.
