WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY?
JOOVV Red Light Therapy
Light therapy is a quick, simple, and non-invasive treatment method used for skin, sleep, fitness, inflammation, energy, and overall wellness.
Light therapy uses LED-based devices to deliver therapeutic wavelengths of red and near infrared (NIR) light directly to your skin and cells.
Red and NIR light enhances cellular function by supplying your mitochondria with the healthy light needed to make the vital ATP energy that powers your body.
Improved Blood Flow
One of the potential benefits of red light therapy is a significant increase in blood circulation following treatment sessions. This indicates tissues are receiving more oxygen and other nutrients that are important for healing. At the same time, light helps the body and circulatory system rid itself of toxic byproducts.
What are the benefits?
Performance & Recovery
Light therapy treatments have several mechanisms of action on muscle cells, like improvement in cellular ATP energy synthesis, glycogen synthesis, oxidative stress reduction, protection against exercise induced-muscle damage, and the addition of new myonuclei supporting muscle hypertrophy. Light therapy also supports healing and recovery by improving blood flow and oxygen availability.
All of these beneficial effects of light therapy may improve physical performance and enhance post-exercise recovery. Light therapy has also been shown to promote better fatigue resistance in bouts of exercise or strength training programs.
Mental Acuity
Treatments using near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths are one way to improve biological balance, strengthen cellular function support stronger mental acuity, and increase energy production. When shining on the head, NIR wavelengths can stimulate the mitochondria within the cells of the body’s processing center. This can improve cellular energy production, enhance blood flow, help heal damaged tissues, and support better mental acuity.
Healthy Skin
Red light therapy can help support skin health across the entire body. The skin functions mentioned above all rely on millions of cells performing and communicating with one another. When the mitochondria in those skin cells absorb healthy red and near infrared light, they can produce more energy , stimulating the synthesis of pro-collagen, collagen, basic fibroblast growth factors, and proliferation of fibroblasts. Red and near infrared light therapy also increase microcirculation that improves cellular balance. In summary, balanced skin cells operating at full capacity do all of those jobs better. That can translate to healthier, glowing skin that looks & feels smoother and softer.
Inflammation Support
Red light therapy treatments are part of a healthy lifestyle, and can help support bodily balance and enhanced cellular function. Like exercise, nutritious eating, and restful sleep, healthy light exposure can have a big impact on managing inflammation and pain.
Sleep Optimization
We need light every day, but most people don’t get nearly enough. The average American spends over 90% of their time indoors, often surrounded by bright artificial light that can make it harder to sleep.
Joovv isolates wavelengths of red and NIR light, because it’s been found to be the most beneficial for human health across a large body of research. This brings the same benefits as the natural red and NIR light from full-spectrum sunlight, without UV rays, excess heat, or the risks of overexposure to the sun.
