At Enhanced Wellness, we are proud to offer Red Light Therapy in Bluffton, SC as a unique answer to age-related issues.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-wavelength red light to help with a range of medical conditions and signs of aging.

This therapy’s use of light and soothing energy will impact the cells of your body, triggering responses for improved health, healing, increased collagen, better circulation and a reduction in pain.

Light-based therapies are rising in popularity as users see improved pain relief, skin health, wellness and anti-aging results.

Our sessions uses non-UV lights to help improve your skin and wellness without harming its surface.

The human body is extremely reactive to light – we don’t feel awake until the sun’s rays hit our eyes and struggle to sleep after staring at our phones’ blue screens. In contrast, RLT’s use of light is all about relaxation and promoting healthy natural responses.

How Does Red Light Therapy Help Relieve Pain?

This method works very differently from pain-killing medications. Rather than blocking our perception of pain, it works at a cellular level to induce the cells’ optimal functioning without unwanted side effects.

Many patients will experience immediate relief thanks to the soothing warmth of the lights. The experience is calming and relaxes the entire body.

When stressed, pain tends to be amplified. But with both the brain and body relaxed, the signals that usually cause pain are significantly reduced.

How Does Red Light Therapy Reduce Inflammation?

This is a great way of reducing inflammation to accelerate healing.

While inflammation is a natural part of the healing process, chronic inflammation can cause delays and discomfort.

Our therapy stimulates cellular repair and regeneration to reduce chronic inflammation, as the energy of the light is absorbed deep into the body’s tissues – positively affecting organs, connective tissues and muscles.

Is Red Light Therapy Safe?

Red Light Therapy is safe and has no reported side effects for short-term, properly directed use.

This therapy is non-toxic, non-invasive and avoids using harsh UV light like those found in the sun or tanning booths.

At Enhanced Wellness, we know how to direct and provide treatment safely, so we protect your body and eyes.

How Does Red Light Therapy Help With Improving Skin Conditions and Aging?

Collagen is a type of protein that keeps our skin healthy and alive. As we get older, collagen quantities drop significantly. While after injury, collagen is required to help connective tissue repair.

This procedure is great at stimulating collagen production. Patients looking to treat signs of aging, chronic skin conditions and repair internal tissues will benefit from this treatment.

We regularly have patients visit to control acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other surface-level skin conditions.

Other Health Benefits of RLT

Increased Cellular Energy Production

Energized cells can help our bodies effectively replicate and repair the body as intended. However, with age and illness, these cells may need a boost.

That’s where our therapy helps. By stimulating cellular energy in the skin and just beneath the skin, healing can be accelerated and wellness enhanced.

Increased Blood Flow

Red Light Therapy stimulates the formation of capillaries, which improves blood flow.

With improved blood flow, our bodies can transport nutrients and oxygen around better and remove unwanted waste materials.

This is especially beneficial for treating deep muscle or bone bruises that are otherwise difficult to heal.

Activation of Stem Cells

Stem cells are found throughout the body in an inactive state. When needed during injury, infection or other crisis, they magically get to work by developing into any cell that’s needed.

This therapy activates and promotes stem cell production to support the healing process and naturally improve cell functionality.

What Should I Expect During Red Light Therapy?

RLT is a painless and very relaxing experience. Lying comfortably on our beds, all you’ll need to do is wear protective eyewear and relax.

The red LED lights will then provide a gentle, warm sensation that soothes your body and promotes wellness and recovery.
