Welcome to a bright future: Biohacking with LED red light and infrared light

In a world where technology and well-being merge, LED red light and infrared light treatments stand as shining examples of biohacking that optimizes human potential. These treatments combine scientific innovation with our body's natural processes to promote healing and rejuvenation.

What are the scientific and physical benefits of LED red light and infrared light?

These forms of light work at different wavelengths, each with unique properties that can improve both skin health and overall physical well-being.

How does LED Red Light (630-660 nm) work?

Red light therapy penetrates the surface layer of the skin and offers several therapeutic benefits:

• Collagen production : Promotes skin elasticity and reduces signs of aging.
• Blood circulation : Improves oxygen supply to the skin cells, resulting in an improved complexion and healing process.
• Cell renewal : Strengthens the skin's barrier and supports the healing of superficial skin damage.
• Inflammation reduction : Acts as an anti-inflammatory and can therefore reduce skin irritations such as acne and rosacea.
  
  

How does Infrared light (800-1000 nm) work?

Infrared light penetrates deeper into the body and affects both skin and underlying muscle tissue:

• Pain Relief : Relieves tension and increases blood flow, which relieves muscle and joint pain.
• Tissue healing : Accelerate the healing processes in muscles and tendons.
• Skin firmness : Increases blood supply and warms the tissue, giving firmer skin.
• Lymphatic drainage : Promotes the elimination of toxins and reduces water retention.
  
  
  

What areas of application are there for LED red light and infrared light?

1. Anti-aging :
   • Stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity and firmness.
   • Reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Acne treatment :
   • Reduces inflammation and redness and helps control bacterial growth.
3. Pain relief :
   • Helps reduce muscle and joint pain through increased blood flow and relaxation of tense muscles.
4. Additional benefits :
   • Promotes faster healing of wounds.
   • Treats and relieves symptoms of skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema.
     
     

What should be considered before choosing treatment with LED red light and infrared light?

Contraindications :

1. Pregnancy : Especially in the first trimester, when phototherapy is not recommended without medical consultation.
2. Light-sensitive conditions : People with photophobia or light-triggered epilepsy should avoid this form of treatment.
3. Certain skin conditions : Active skin infections, open wounds, skin cancer or precancerous conditions should be treated with caution.
   
   
   

Treatment course :

Typically 6-10 treatments are required for visible results, with maintenance treatments every other week.

By integrating LED red light and infrared light into your biohacking routine, you can take a step towards a deeper understanding and utilization of the body's natural healing capabilities, supported by scientific research and modern technology.

Scientific Findings and Results

Research has consistently shown that infrared light therapy can increase the production of collagen, reduce inflammation, and improve both cognitive function and sleep quality:

• A study published by the "National Institutes of Health" shows that red light can promote tissue repair and reduce pain, including chronic low back pain (source: PubMed ).
• Research published in the "Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology" illustrates how red light therapy improves collagen production and can reduce wrinkles (source: PubMed ).
• A combination of red and NIR light has been proven to increase skin elasticity according to studies published by South Korean researchers (source: PubMed ).
