Powerful red light therapy benefits

Cindi • October 3, 2024

Red light therapy can safely treat a variety of conditions from aging to injuries to chronic pain. Conditions red light can be effective in treating include:


Stubborn fat

Red light therapy helps release fat stored in cells around your body. It can be effective in getting rid of stubborn fat, and has been shown to be effective in as little as 4 weeks (even without making other diet or lifestyle changes).

Fat cells may be hard and stubborn, but they’re no match for the infusion of 635nm red light and 880nm near infrared light in our red-light therapy sessions!

The energy from the near infrared light weakens the cell lining and opens pores in the fat cells. This allows the fat to be released. After exposure to these specific wavelengths, seventy to ninety-nine percent of the fat may be released from each cell, to be processed by the lymphatic system and stored in other tissues (like muscle) or metabolized for energy. While the fat is purged, the cell itself remains healthy and viable. This means it will refill with fat if you take in more calories than you need for fuel.

The fat cells remain energized for approximately 48 hours after a red-light therapy session. During this time, they shrink, and the skin will tighten due to the increase in collagen production stimulated by the red-light therapy.

Inflammation

Research has shown it to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in the body by improving blood flow, reducing markers of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory proteins, and may even have wide-reaching, systemic anti-inflammatory benefits.


Inflammation is a normal biological response triggered by an injury or assault to the body. When an injury or infection is detected, the body supplies the inflamed area with more blood flow and oxygen so the injured cells can heal and regenerate. As the site heals, the inflammation recedes. 

There are two types of inflammation, acute and chronic.  

Acute Inflammation occurs when the body is injured or there is an infection. Signs of acute inflammation include the well-known signs of swelling, redness, tenderness, and pain. 

Chronic inflammation is typically a low-grade internal inflammation that lasts for months, even years. While acute inflammation is essential to helping us heal, chronic inflammation can be much more problematic. 


Vision issues

There is promising research that suggests red light therapy may help improve the health of your eyes and improve conditions such as age-related macular degeneration.


Red light therapy has been shown to be a safe, effective, non-invasive treatment option to help improve and maintain eye health.

Near infrared light has been shown to be enormously beneficial in the treatment of vision issues such as macular degeneration, retinal stress, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal degeneration. Red light therapy has shown promise in reducing retinal inflammation, improving retinal healing, delaying aging retinal functions, and inhibiting the degeneration of injured optic nerve and retina.


How can red light therapy help improve eye health?

Research supporting the benefits of red-light therapy for eye health continues to grow. Currently, red light therapy has been shown to :

  • Penetrate diseased retina to promote mitochondrial energy production and function.

  • Elevate cytoprotective factors for up to a month.

  • Prevent the death of photoreceptors by up to 70%.

  • Inhibit the cellular degeneration of retinal ganglion cells.

  • Reduce oxidative stress.

Many conventional skincare products contain harmful chemicals that can disrupt hormones, increase cancer risk, and negatively impact overall health. Choosing a brand like Naturopathica, which prioritizes clean, natural, and science-backed ingredients, can help you avoid these risks while nourishing your skin. The Risks of Conventional Skincare 1. Endocrine Disruptors (Hormone Disruptors) Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, etc.) Mimic estrogen, potentially leading to hormonal imbalances and breast cancer. Phthalates (commonly found in fragrances, lotions, and creams) Disrupt hormone production, affecting fertility and fetal development. Triclosan (found in antibacterial soaps and some toothpastes) Alters thyroid function and may contribute to antibiotic resistance. Oxybenzone (found in chemical sunscreens, lotions, and lip balms) Mimics estrogen, linked to reproductive harm and lower sperm count. Why Choose Naturopathica? Naturopathica is free from parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances, making it a safe choice for those looking to protect their hormonal health. 2. Carcinogens (Cancer-Causing Chemicals) Certain synthetic skincare ingredients have been linked to increased cancer risk through prolonged exposure. Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (DMDM hydantoin, Diazolidinyl urea, Quaternium-15, etc.) Can release formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen. Coal tar dyes (often labeled as FD&C or D&C colors) Contain heavy metals linked to cancer and nervous system toxicity. Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs, commonly used in creams and lotions) Often contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a known carcinogen. Ethanolamines (DEA, TEA, MEA, found in foaming cleansers and shampoos) Linked to liver and kidney cancer. Why Choose Naturopathica? Naturopathica avoids synthetic dyes, PEGs, and harmful preservatives. Instead, they use botanical extracts and clean, plant-based preservatives to protect your skin and overall well-being. 3. Skin Irritants and Toxins Many mainstream skincare products contain chemicals that cause inflammation, allergic reactions, and weaken the skin barrier. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) Strip skin of natural oils, leading to irritation and increased chemical absorption. Synthetic Fragrances (Parfum) Can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, many of which are hormone disruptors and allergens. BHA & BHT (preservatives in moisturizers and lipsticks) Possible carcinogens linked to liver and kidney damage. Why Choose Naturopathica? Naturopathica uses pure essential oils and natural botanicals instead of synthetic fragrances, reducing the risk of irritation and hormone disruption. 4. Heavy Metals in Beauty Products Some conventional skincare and makeup products contain toxic heavy metals. Lead (found in lipsticks, eyeliners, and foundation) Known neurotoxin and carcinogen that can cause developmental delays. Mercury (found in some anti-aging creams and skin-lightening products) Toxic to the nervous system. Why Choose Naturopathica? Naturopathica follows strict purity and sourcing standards to ensure their products are free from heavy metals and toxic contaminants. The Naturopathica Difference: Clean, Effective, and Safe Skincare Unlike many conventional brands, Naturopathica combines holistic healing with science-backed formulations to deliver effective, skin-friendly solutions. Their products are: Free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances Made with organic, plant-based ingredients Clinically tested and formulated for skin health Eco-friendly and cruelty-free Switching to a clean skincare brand like Naturopathica means nourishing your skin without exposing yourself to harmful chemicals.
