LXTaoler 54W 18 LED Infrared Light, 660nm and 850nm

Product Information

The Twilight Red Light Bulb is the ideal dim lighting to use before bedtime in reading lamps, bedrooms, bathrooms, or anywhere you spend your evening hours prior to going to bed. The longer the light has to travel, the less power it has to absorb into the skin. As long nothing interferes with light as it travels, it does not lose energy. However, light disperses as it travels away from the LED bulb. Plus, by the time the light reaches the skin, it's not as concentrated. That’s why a powerful light is necessary, and why it’s important to maintain a relatively close distance to the light for targeted applications. The Best Lights for the Best Results Chen, Y., Zhao, C. Q., Ye, G., Liu, C. D., & Xu, W. Low-power laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: effective optical power. Neural Regeneration Research. 2016;11(7):1180–1184. All things considered, FIR sauna therapy is one way for patients with health problems to feel the benefits of exercise without actually doing it. This is also without having to withstand the intense temperatures of a super hot Finnish sauna.

Avci P, et al. (2013). Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) in skin: Stimulating, healing, restoring. There's another factor that is equally as important as the kind of wavelengths being used. This is the total energy output of each wavelength, also known as irradiance. Somewhat surprisingly, one study found the that there were more toxic elements excreted in sweat than in urine. Included in these were cadmium, lead, and aluminum. It's good news that saunas may be helpful for this, when you consider the growing body of research warning about high levels of harmful substances and heavy metals that leach into our bodies from the environment.Most red light devices on the market are weak and will only penetrate 2 – 3mm of skin tissue. Stronger devices such as 100mW/cm²+ LED light devices can reach through the entire skin layer, healing from the bottom up. The Wavelengths of Red Light Therapy This red light exposure may produce a positive biochemical effect in your cells that strengthens the mitochondria, which is where the cell’s energy is created. RLT may do this by increasing the transportation of electrons, oxygen consumption, and your levels of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Both technologies deliver therapeutic benefits, but they do so in ways that are completely different to one another. Yet, these two different treatments are also potentially complementary, as we will see later. LED red lights vary greatly in terms of strength and quality, making it difficult to give a blanket recommendation on frequency and duration of use, says Dr. Ilyas. Generally, each device will provide safety guidelines based on the dose and power of the LED red light. Red light therapy works by activating your mitochondria, or the powerhouse of the cell, explains Dr. Kelley. With this boost to the energy center of the cell, the cells can do their jobs—such as healing and growth—more efficiently. “Think of it as your morning coffee—red light therapy helps your cells wake up and get the job done!” says Dr. Kelley.

Is RLT covered by my health insurance? Red light therapy is typically not a covered treatment. You may want to call your health insurance company before seeking treatment. One older study published in the journal Obesity Surgery in 2011 found that when 40 adults with excess weight were regularly exposed to red light therapy, their adipocyte cells released triglycerides, resulting in fat loss. Participants in this study lost approximately 2.1 centimeters of girth over a four-week period [4] Caruso-Davis M, Guillot T, Podichetty V, Mashtalir N, Dhurandhar N, Dubuisson O, Yu Y, Greenway, F. Efficacy of low-level laser therapy for body contouring and spot fat reduction. Obesity Surgery. 2011;21(6):722–729. . Long-lasting: LEDs can have lifespans of 100,000 hours or 11.4 years—and that’s if the lights were left on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A lot of the clinical trials have also been conducted with rodents, rather than humans. Who should not use red light therapy?Normally, these proteins activate when body temperature spikes, such as during exercise. However, recent studies indicate that passive heat can produce similar effects. This mimics the physiological effects of exercise. This is great news for people who use saunas regularly. reduce some cancer treatment side effects, such as oral mucositis, radiation dermatitis, and lymphedema Dr. Dig

Red light therapy and infrared saunas are two of the most popular technologies in health and wellness right now.The red light would ideally be used 3-4 days per week to start off with and continue like that for 4-6 weeks. Red light therapy and other low-level light modalities take advantage of a phenomenon called photobiomodulation, which is how different components of our cells are activated or respond to different wavelengths of light, explains Erum Ilyas, M.D. a Pennsylvania-based board-certified dermatologist with Schweiger Dermatology. Light can speed up the respiration process in cells and increase ATP and other mechanistic factors,” says Dr. Eells. “You stimulate cellular energy, and you stimulate the body’s ability to repair.” When comparing red light therapy devices, look for the highest possible light energy output per irradiated area (irradiance), which is displayed as milliwatts per square centimeter, or mW/cm². Any reputable manufacturer will provide this information. The irradiance will vary based on the light energy output of the device and its distance from your skin. People with cancer or a history of cancer may decide to avoid red light therapy. A 2019 study suggests that red light therapy may potentially make cancer cells more aggressive. However, more research is still needed and there are also possible benefits. What are the cons of red light therapy?

In the infrared spectrum (750 nanometers to 1,200 nm) are three other bands of light that have shown evidenced-based benefits to humans. These are the 810 nm, 830 nm, and 850 nm wavelengths.

The BIOMAX Series panels also offer adjustable intensity and wavelength exposure, so users can choose between R+, NIR+, and 480nm blue light therapy treatment or a combination of these wavelengths with ease at any time. We should be clear in stating that these panels are not ' infrared saunas.' They are RLT panels engineered for sauna use.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. 2022;88(3):S1-S8. The ultraviolet radiation generated by incandescent and halogen lights can damage cells rather than supporting them. These are not only the most powerful LED red light therapy panels available on the consumer market. PlatinumLED boasts the most advanced R+|NIR+ spectrum on the market. Protecting your eyes from blue and green light is not enough. When your skin is exposed to blue and green light at night, it will disrupt your sleep and circadian rhythms. For general maintenance and health once or twice a week is acceptable. Are there any risks from red light therapy?
