Photobiomodulaton - “change the body with light”
Red/NIR light supports performance and recovery by energizing mitochondria and improving circulation. Increased ATP production may reduce muscle fatigue and enhance tissue repair, while the release of nitric oxide (NO) promotes blood flow, aiding in oxygen and nutrient delivery. These processes have the potential to support recovery and performance in specific contexts, particularly for athletes and active individuals
Red/NIR light supports skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing localized inflammation, and accelerating cellular repair. When red/NIR light penetrates the skin, it activates collagen-producing fibroblasts, promoting firmer, more elastic skin and reducing fine lines. The increase in cellular energy and anti-inflammatory effects also aids in the repair and regeneration of skin cells, which can accelerate wound healing and help conditions like acne, rosacea, and psoriasis.
Red/NIR light reduces pain and inflammation by penetrating deep into tissues, energizing mitochondria, and promoting cellular repair. The increased ATP production and release of endorphins help alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation, easing chronic pain. Additionally, the improved circulation driven by nitric oxide (NO) release further supports recovery, making red/NIR light an effective solution for relieving pain from conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and joint discomfort.
Red/NIR light improves mood and mental clarity by enhancing brain activity and boosting cellular energy. When red and near-infrared light penetrate the skull, they stimulate mitochondria in brain cells, boosting ATP production that supports cognitive function. The release of nitric oxide (NO) enhances blood flow to the brain, helping to alleviate brain fog, reduce mental fatigue, and sharpen focus. Additionally, red/NIR light influences the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins, crucial for mood regulation and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Together, these effects lead to a brighter mood, clearer thinking, and overall cognitive well-being.
Red/NIR light supports metabolic health by increasing cellular energy and reducing inflammation. Stimulating mitochondria can accelerate fat oxidation and enhance cellular function, which can aid in weight management. The anti-inflammatory effects of red/NIR light could also help mitigate weight gain linked to chronic inflammation. Preliminary evidence also suggests red/NIR light plays a potential role in improving insulin sensitivity and regulating hormones involved in metabolism.
Transforming harmful UV and visible light into beneficial red/NIR rays naturally eliminates UV from reaching the skin, rendering most clothing UPF 50+ and minimizing the risk of sunburn and long-term damage. Organic cooling occurs because the fabric retains less solar energy than a normal fabric, so there is less energy to convert to heat. Additionally, red/NIR light doesn't generate heat in the skin. In turn, this less hot environment supports the body’s natural thermoregulation, reducing overheating and boosting comfort and endurance during activity.
