1. So, what even is a whole body red light therapy bed?
A whole body red light therapy bed is a device that uses a specific wavelength of red light (usually between 630nm–850nm) to irradiate the whole body to help promote cell repair, reduce inflammation, improve skin health and speed up recovery.
2. So, what are the plus points of red light therapy for the body?
Common benefits include:
It’ll make your skin look and feel healthier.
Help your muscles to repair and recover.
Get rid of that nagging pain and arthritis once and for all!
Boost your immune system
Get a better night’s sleep.
Boost collagen production.
3. Is red light therapy safe?
Red light therapy is a non-invasive, painless, UV-free treatment. It’s generally safe for most people, but if you’re pregnant, have epilepsy or a condition that makes you sensitive to light, it’s best to check with a doctor.
4. How often should I use a red light therapy bed?
Recommended frequency:
First stage: 3–5 times a week for 4 weeks
The stage is stable, so you can do it 1 or 2 times a week.
Each use lasts about 10–20 minutes.
5. I’m wondering what the difference is between a red light therapy bed and a local red light mask/lamp.
Red light therapy beds can cover the whole body at once, which makes them better for relieving body pain, recovering after exercise, or even as an anti-ageing treatment. Masks and portable devices are better for local care, like on the face or joints.
6. I was wondering if red light therapy could cause tanning or sunburn?
Nah, that red light is just part of the safe band of visible light, so it won’t give you a tan or sunburn as it doesn’t have any UV rays.
7. I was wondering if there’s anything I need to do differently after using a red light therapy bed?
It’s recommended to:
Rehydrate
Make sure you use moisturising skincare products.
If you’ve got sensitive skin, try to avoid getting too much sun.
8. So, what do you guys think – can red light actually help with fat loss and body shaping?
Some studies have shown that red light may help break down fat and make it more defined by boosting the activity of mitochondria and speeding up fat metabolism. But it’s not a magic bullet for weight loss, so you’ve still got to exercise and watch what you eat.
9. Who’s a good candidate for using a full-body red light therapy bed?
Great for the following groups:
This is for people who sit down for long periods of time or for those who experience muscle soreness after exercising.
People who don’t get enough sleep
People who aren’t in the best shape
People who are into anti-aging and skin care.
People of a certain age who are in rehabilitation.
10. I’m wondering whether the red light therapy bed is suitable for medical or beauty treatments.
Both. Red light therapy beds are used pretty much everywhere these days, like in rehabilitation centres, medical beauty clinics, gyms, anti-ageing centres and so on. They’re perfect for medical treatments and beauty care.
