Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to treat medical  and cosmetic conditions. A Red Light Therapy device sends low-intensity red and near-infrared light deep into the body’s cells in order to promote healing. Red Light Therapy is noninvasive, painless, and does not use heat.

Red Light Therapy works by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently. The benefits of Red Light Therapy include weight loss, relief from chronic disease and pain (such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and sciatica), acceleration of sports recovery and injury prevention, and more.

Benefits for Red Light Therapy include:

Weight Loss

  • Red Light Therapy coupled with a nutrition and exercise program has shown many positive results for fat cell reduction and weight loss.
  • A 2011 study published in the Obesity Surgery journal found that when 40 adults with excess weight were regularly provided Red Light Therapy, they lost nearly an inch of girth over a 4-week period.
  • A 2015 study of 64 women living with obesity published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine found that Red Light Therapy could increase fat loss when coupled with exercise.
  • Note that today with the significant improvements to the technology over time, some individuals have lost well over 2.5 inches of girth after one treatment session! However, in order to have sustained weight loss, it is essential that the Red Light Therapy program is coupled with a nutrition and exercise program.

Relief from chronic disease and pain

    • Relieves neuropathic pain, numbness, and tingling sensations.
    • Treats chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes pain and tenderness throughout the body, as well as fatigue and trouble sleeping.
    • Helps you manage and overcome the pain and discomfort caused by Sciatica. Red Light Therapy uses wavelengths in the red and infrared spectrum to help promote skin and nerve health. It stimulates regeneration, promotes wound healing, and reduces oxidant buildup to help heal from the inside out. Even though multiple sessions are required for the full treatment, due to its anti-inflammatory effect, relief may be noticeable after a single session.

Acceleration of sports recovery and injury prevention

  • Light can speed up the respiration process in cells and increase the cell’s energy production.
  • When you stimulate cellular energy, you stimulate the body’s ability to repair.

Brain health

  • Research is increasingly demonstrating the benefits of using red light therapy for dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and other brain conditions.
  • Red Light Therapy may also help patients with Parkinson’s disease manage their symptoms and sleep/wake cycles.
  •  Due to the minimal risk, many researchers believe that Red Light Therapy for brain disorders will become one of the most important medical applications in the coming years and decades.

Improvement for skin and hair conditions

  • Anti-Aging (Improve fine lines and wrinkles) – A 2020 study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology found that light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy may be effective when it comes to treating aging skin, with red light therapy showing promise for positive skin rejuvenation effects by boosting fibroblasts—which make collagen and, in turn, gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity
  • Acne – has been used to treat acne for years, especially in conjunction with medications and therapies meant to enhance the light absorption Scarring – the therapy is used to reduce collagen production in scar tissue, improving or preventing thickening scars
  • Wound Healing – Difficult-to-heal wounds like diabetic ulcers present a major skin treatment issue. However, Red Light Therapy is showing promise when used for the acceleration of healing. Researchers suggest that it is likely that the increase in cell mitochondria activity, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen production may contribute to
  • Hair Growth – Red Light Therapy has been shown to reduce the effects of androgenetic alopecia. By decreasing inflammation and increasing blood flow and circulation to the scalp, it has the potential to bring more cell activity (and nutrients) to that area. Recent studies indicate that using red light therapy may promote increased hair thickness and density. this potentially positive red light therapy effect.

Risk Assessment

In general, there really are NO MAJOR SIDE AFFECTS of Red Light Therapy. However:

  • Individuals who have a condition with photosensitivity, like lupus, or who are on medications that make them photosensitive, shouldn’t use red light therapy.
  • Individuals who take certain medications that increase their sensitivity to sunlight, such as isotretinoin and lithium should also avoid this type of treatment.
  • Further, people who have a history of certain conditions, including skin cancer and inherited eye diseases. should also not avoid this treatment as well.

But the great news is that this is a very safe treatment option for the overwhelming majority of the population!

Advanced Technology

The Dahlia Pinnacle Bed has earned its place at the top of the Dahlia line up and the body sculpting industry. Dahlia Pro Pinnacle delivers results with state-of-the-art technology that adheres to the Inverse Square Law of physics.

The zero-gravity design is carefully constructed to maximize skin on light treatments, providing better results than tanning bed style devices. By keeping the lights directly on the skin, therapeutic levels of light penetrate deeper for maximum effect.

The user experience for our clients is customized for multiple therapeutic purposes.  This provides the flexibility to tune the three wavelength blend for specific results on multiple types of patients.

Dahlia’s PureLight™ LEDs deliver a proprietary combination of tuned 630, 660, 850 and 940 nanometer wavelengths.

Safe, Proven Results

If you’re tired of wasting money on gym memberships, fad diets and special weight loss programs, you’ve come to the right place.If you imagine fat as a bunch of grapes, Dahlia Health light therapy uses our proprietary blend of light to safely and effectively reduce fat cells by draining the liquid inside them.  Red light triggers the formation of small openings or pores in fat cells, which releases fatty acids known as lipids. One study found that just four minutes of exposure to 635nm red light caused 80% of lipids to be released from fat cells, and by six minutes, almost all of the fat had been released. The fluid escapes into your lymphatic system, where your body processes it through your liver. In addition to the treatments, your provider will teach you how to eat better, encourage you to drink plenty of water and to go for an easy walk. No heart thumping workouts!
