Why Red Light Therapy?
Question: What is Red Light Therapy? (RLT)
Answer: RLT at Coastal Carolinas integrated Medicine is a medical grade therapeutic modality that uses low level wavelengths of red light to help treat skin conditions, such as wrinkles stretch marks, acne scars, and psoriases etc. RLT is also great for healthy aging by assisting the repairing of muscle tissues, decreasing inflammation, or swelling (edema), pain management and increasing cellular energy. Many people love the improved look of their skin because of the imcreased levels of collagen and fibroblast production due to the increased energy of the mitochondria that help cells function more efficiently.
Question: How does Red Light Therapy Help You?
Answer: There is solid evidence of diverse beneficial effects of the treatment with low-power near-infrared (NIR) light, defined as photobiomodulation (PBM). Nearly every disease state know to man has been linked to low mitochondrial activity. Red and near-infrared light penetrate deeply into body tissues, where they impart their helating effects by enhancing mitochondrial energy production. So far there are 50,000 studies purlished on red light therapy to date, with no adverse side effects reported. One of the most important factors for success with RLT is treatment consistency.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule produced by your body and it is critical for your blood vessels! NO is gas that relaxes the inner muscles of the blood vesssels, which causes your vessels to widen and increase circulation throughout your body. The literature has reported blood pressure can improve when using Red Light Therapy (RLT) because of this increased NO production and vasodilation along with improved stress management and stress reduction therapy using RLT. When you work on improving your blood circulation you also improve your oxygen and nutrient levels to every cell! Practicing self-care and spending time relaxing, working on slow breating, focusing your mind on self-care all works to lower blood pressure.
Question: Will RLT help with Depression?
Answer: Transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) consists in the delivery of near-infrared light (NIR) to the scalp, directed to cortical areas of the brain. NIR t-PBM recently emerged as a potential therapy for depression, although safety of repeated treatments has not been adequately explored. Research Link

At CCIM our patients lay down on a comfortable spa chair for their red light therapy. The RTL light can be positioned anywhere you have pain, or desire skin repair or maybe you just want overall positive energy effects from the vasodilation and and improved mitochondrial energy! The important thing is you relax every muscle!
