Origin of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, originates from light therapy developed in the late 19th century by the Danish physician Niels Ryberg Finsen. Finsen received the Nobel Prize in 1903 for his research on the therapeutic application of light, particularly for the treatment of skin diseases like lupus vulgaris. Over the years, the technology has been further developed to therapeutically utilize various wavelengths of light, including red light.

Origin of Red Light Therapy
What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is a treatment method that uses visible red light and near-infrared light with specific wavelengths. This form of therapy is believed to offer various health benefits, including promoting wound healing, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving skin health.

What is Red Light Therapy?
How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red and near-infrared light can be beneficial for the skin as they penetrate deeply into the tissue and lower layers of the skin, triggering beneficial processes. With precisely selected wavelengths in the range of 630, 660, 670, 810, 830, and 850 nanometers, they stimulate the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of the cells. This can increase the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which improves cell function and supports the natural healing processes. The increased energy production can promote skin cell regeneration, boost collagen production, and improve skin elasticity.

Increased collagen production is crucial because collagen provides the skin with strength and elasticity. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkle formation and a loss of skin elasticity. Red and near-infrared light therapy can slow down and even reverse this process by stimulating skin cells to produce more collagen. Additionally, red and near-infrared light can improve blood circulation, enhancing the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells while simultaneously promoting the removal of waste products. This can reduce inflammation, accelerate the healing of wounds and scars, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

How does Red Light Therapy work?
What’s the process like?

A typical red light therapy session begins with a brief consultation during which the therapist discusses your specific needs and health goals with you. You sit or lie comfortably in front of the red light source, the areas of skin to be treated are exposed, and you put on special protective glasses. It is not necessary to bring special clothing, but it is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothing that can be easily removed or adjusted. For women, it is recommended to remove makeup before the treatment to ensure maximum light penetration and to avoid potential skin irritation.

The duration of a session can vary depending on the treatment goal, but it typically lasts around 20 minutes. During the session, you will usually feel a pleasant warmth. Immediately after the treatment, the skin may be slightly red or warm, but this usually subsides quickly. No recovery time is required, and you can resume your normal activities immediately.

I went to Circle Health and was treated there by Charlotte after the practice was personally recommended to me. The practice is located in beautiful, old Berlin premises that create a very pleasant atmosphere. Bright, quiet, relaxed. I would be happy to recommend the practice.

Super happy with the Vitamin C drip I received at Circle today! From beginning to end, the whole staff was super lovely and helpful, making sure I felt comfortable at all times. The clinic is super modern, bright and you even get a free ginger shot with your drip!

Tolle helle Klinik, mit freundlichem Personal und einer positiven Atmosphäre. Ich bekam vor meinem Examen eine Vitamin C-Infusion zum Schutz vor der anrollenden Krankheitswelle und bin top gestärkt durch die Zeit danach gekommen

Die Praxis von circle ist super schön gestaltet und vor allem das Team ist unglaublich freundlich! Ich habe mich hier bestens aufgehoben gefühlt & komme gerne wieder. Eine rundum positive Erfahrung!

Habe vor ein paar Wochen einen 360° Health Check gemacht bei Manuela. Sie hat mich einmal komplett durch-analysiert und mir sehr hilfreiche und wertvolle Hinweise gegeben, und ich merke jetzt schon die Verbesserung im Alltag. Musti hatte mich während der Analyse hervorragend betreut und mir beispielsweise Blut abgenommen für die Tests. Melanie macht den besten Ingwer-Zitrone Tee den ich bisher getrunken habe und auf Basis der guten Erfahrungen (und dem Tee) habe ich heute auch direkt meine erste Infusion + Osteopathie Sitzung gebucht bei Charlotte, da sie direkt kurzfristig Zeit hatte. Ich habe sowas noch nie vorher gemacht und ich muss sagen ich bin absolut begeistert. Fühle mich nach ihrer Behandlung wie frisch ausgeschlafen und habe einiges an Hausaufgaben und Übungen bis zum nächsten mal mitbekommen. Die nächsten Termine stehen schon! Danke euch und bis bald

War bei circle health für eine nightlife repair infusion nach einer Nacht Party. Hatte einen Kater und Kopfschmerzen, die waren danach beide weg und ich hab mich voll frisch gefühlt. Schöne Praxis, nettes Team, tolles Konzept, volle Empfehlung! 🤩
Steffi
Ich bin seit einiger Zeit in der Praxis und sehr zufrieden. Es wird einem zugehört, auch per Mail bekomme ich bei Frau Ruebsam eine schnelle Antwort und Unterstützung. Charlotte hat eine Engelsgeduld bei den Infusionen, obwohl meine Venen eine reine Katastrophe sind. :-) Alle Mitarbeiter aus der Praxis sind mir freundlich entgegengekommen und dementsprechend kann ich den Besuch jeden nur empfehlen.

How often should I receive this treatment?

The number of necessary sessions for red light therapy varies depending on the skin issue and individual needs:

  • Acute issues: 2 to 4 sessions may be sufficient.
  • Chronic conditions: 8 to 12 sessions are often necessary, two to three times per week.
  • Anti-aging and skin health: 10 to 20 sessions over several weeks, followed by regular maintenance sessions.
  • Wound healing and scar treatment: 8 to 12 sessions, depending on the severity of the treatment.

The exact number should be discussed with our therapists and regularly reviewed.

Are there any side effects?

Red light therapy is generally considered safe and has few side effects. However, the following side effects can occur rarely:

  • Skin redness and warmth: The skin may be slightly red or warm immediately after the treatment, which usually subsides quickly.
  • Skin dryness: Some patients may experience slight skin dryness. It is recommended to care for the skin well and provide sufficient moisture.
  • Eye irritation: Eye irritation can occur with insufficient protection. It is important to always wear protective glasses.
  • Hypersensitivity: Patients with sensitive skin may react sensitively to the light. It is recommended to start with low intensity and monitor skin reactions.
  • Temporary worsening of symptoms: In rare cases, there may be a temporary worsening of skin problems before improvement occurs.
Who is this treatment not suitable for?

Although red light therapy is generally safe, there are certain contraindications where it is not recommended. These include epilepsy, active inflammatory conditions or skin infections, and photosensitivity disorders or the use of photosensitizing agents (e.g., St. John's Wort). Patients with these or other health concerns should consult with our experienced therapists.
