What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy, also referred to as low-level light therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), employs specific wavelengths of red light to help promote healing, reduce pain, and inflammation within the body. This form of phototherapy involves exposing the skin to red light, typically emitted by an LED (light-emitting diode) lamp or device, for a predetermined duration.
At The DRIPBaR Greenwood Village, our Red Light Therapy services function by stimulating the mitochondria, the cellular organelles responsible for producing energy. This stimulation promotes the generation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the vital energy currency of cells. Consequently, cells are enhanced in their ability to repair and regenerate, leading to potential improvements in various health conditions.
To further optimize the benefits of Red Light Therapy, we offer the option to combine it with mitochondrial stimulating infusions at The DRIPBaR Greenwood Village. In fact, it is possible to simultaneously receive Red Light Therapy alongside an IV drip. Our assortment of drips is designed to support mitochondrial health and maximize the anti-aging advantages both internally and externally.
Red Light Therapy pairs well with our following IV drips:
- Firm
- Time Machine
- NAD+
