FAQ

Got questions? so do a lot of people when they first discover the awesome power of red light therapy. We've gathered the most common questions people have about red light therapy and wanted to put them here.

What is low level light therapy?

Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types, and is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless, and requires absolutely no downtime. Patients or clients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.

LED devices are considered extremely low risk when used as intended.

3

Does Light therapy hurt?

No. Light therapy is non-invasive and is painless when used as intended.

4

How safe is light therapy?

Low-level-light therapy is based on light emitting diode (LED) technology developed for NASA-manned space flight experiments. In comparison to lasers, the patented LED technology generates negligible amounts of heat and is not considered a significant risk device.

5

Does light therapy utilize UV light?

No. ReGen pods utilize a combination of red, and near-infrared (not visible to the naked eye) light emitting diodes (LEDs) only.
