Infrared / LED

FDA Approved Light Therapy is a safe, natural, pain-free treatment option that uses a powerful dosage of red and infrared light to effectively stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, revive aging tissue, and target acne breakouts. The final result is fresh, smooth and healthy skin that helps you look more youthful!

What Actually Is Red-Light Therapy?

To our knowledge, red-light therapy has been around for more than 50 years, likely having been initially discovered in 1967 by Dr. Endre Mester at Semmelweis Medical University in Hungary. Reportedly, while using a laser in an attempt to cure tumors in rates, he found that his lower powered laser didn't eliminate any tumors but did cause faster hair growth and better wound healing in rats.

In the literature, another term synonymous with the designation "red light" therapy is "photobiomodulation" therapy (PBM). The North American Association for Photobiomodulation Therapy defines PBM as a form of nonthermal light therapy that utilizes nonionizing forms of light sources, including lasers, LEDs, and broadband light, in the visible and infrared spectrum. We should note that PBM infrared light used in our studio is different from that used in infrared saunas, which utilizes far-infrared radiation to actually heat the body.

How Does Joovv PBM Red-Light Therapy Work?

Joovv PBM involves exposing the face and body to both visible and infrared light. The wavelengths of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by intracellular powerhouses known as mitochondria. Consequently, they then produce more energy via adenosine triphosphate (ATP). More ATP essentially means increased cellular functioning and ultimately repair. Not surprisingly, athletes have embraced the technology for the improvement of performance and to reduce recovery time.

How Is PBM Red-Light Therapy Currently Used?

Red Light Therapy is widely used for pain reduction, wound healing, and inflammatory-related conditions like arthritis, but also may be beneficial for a variety of other treatments, including skin conditions, such as acne and scars, reducing cellulite, improving or elevating mood, reducing the symptoms of migraines, helping insomnia, and weight loss management.

Is Joovv Red-Light Therapy Safe?

Yes, Joovv red-light therapy is safe when used as directed.
