What is Red Light Body Contouring?

Red Light Body Contouring is the latest advancement in non-invasive body contouring and skin rejuvenation technology. Naturally slim, shape, and tone all areas of the body safely without surgery or pain. Red Lights are effective on body areas that are resistant to diet and exercise: waist, hips, thighs, arms, and chin.

Red Lights give targeted results without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time.

THE BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT BODY CONTOURING (635 nm light)

Promotes Fat Loss!

In 1998, a Columbian physician discovered that exposing a patient to a mid-600nm red light prior to liposuction surgery caused the subcutaneous fat to be much easier to remove. Additional testing was conducted, and the results were astounding; the mitochondria within the fat cells became stimulated by exposure to 635nm light, causing them to create “transient pores” in the cell membrane. These transient pores allow the contents of the cell to escape and be released into the interstitial area of the body, resulting in a shrinking of the fat cell and causes overall inches lost on the treated areas of the body. The contents, triglycerides (water, glycerol and fatty acids), then enter the lymphatic system and are transported to the liver and discarded from the body.

Promotes Healing!

Research using LED light, mostly in the red and near infrared ranges, shows healing effects for bruises, and eye injuries. Studies indicate Red lights also reduce pain. In fact, Red Lights (the 635 nm) were created to help heal wounds with studies conducted by NASA. Studies show that while exposed to the 635 nm light, skin and muscle cultures grew 150 to 200 percent faster than the cultures that were not stimulated by the light.

Promotes Anti-Inflammation!

Studies have shown that achy muscles and joints have improved healing by 40 percent when Red Light is applied. Red Lights have been used in burn units to help the healing process of skin and also as pain reduction for patients.

Provides Skin Rejuvenation!

Our skin is flexible or elastic. The expansive and contractive quality of our skin is a result of connective tissue, which contains a protein called collagen that provides structure for our skin. As we age, production of collagen decreases, causing our skin to lose elasticity and wrinkles to form. Cells called fibroblasts are needed to create collagen that keeps the skin resilient and healthy. Fibroblast cells are increased when using Red Light, resulting in collagen formation, helping to repair skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Boosts Metabolism!

The red lights stimulate healing reactions in the body, also triggering chemical and biological processes in the body that make up metabolism. These processes include:

  • Enzymes (catalysts needed for every chemical reaction. We function at a higher level when enzymes are plentiful.) Research has proven that the 635 nm light restores and promotes enzymes to speed the healing process.
  • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) More ATP means more energy within the cell and more energy means easier and faster healing, thus boosting the metabolism! The Red Lights increase the energy inside the cell!
  • DNA-Research by Dr. Whelan states that DNA syntheses in fibroblasts and muscle cells have been quintupled using Red Light alone. This means that the forming power of the cells has been increased by five times in muscle cells with the application of the Red Light.
