Red light therapy

With the development of medicine, natural resources and their impact on our health are increasingly being studied. Red light therapy is proof that light is an effective resource that our body converts into energy, thus promoting its biochemical processes. This simple procedure improves the ability of your cells to regenerate, improving the health and beauty of the skin.

By providing you with answers to questions about this simple but effective therapy method, we've created a guide to frequently asked questions.

Red light stimulates the body's natural ability to regenerate cells, thus improving the overall health of the skin. Low-frequency light waves affect a layer of skin up to a depth of 10 milimeters within a certain range, which helps in promoting a series of biochemical processes that require light energy for more efficient operation.

Rays of red light promote biological processes in the blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves and even hair follicles. For this reason, therapy is used in both medicine and beauty.

As a result of the therapy, more beautiful skin with a more even tone and less pronounced visual imperfections is created. The procedure improves the skin’s texture, reduces pigmentation spots and pore size. It also reduces the appearance of new spots, redness, pimples and scars.

Thanks to the stimulation of blood circulation and collagen production, the skin becomes firm and elastic, reducing the visibility of wrinkles. Scars are reduced as well – the procedure is also successfully used to reduce stretch marks.

These benefits are related to the stimulation of cellular biochemical processes under the influence of red light. Another unexpected benefit is improved sleep quality and the loss of excess weight. Due to the ability of light to promote the release of the sleep hormone – melatonin, the process of falling asleep can be significantly improved after attending regular red light therapy. As a result of improved metabolism, therapy also helps to fight excess weight.

Red light therapy provides lasting and continuous improvements. However, its results depend on the regularity of the treatment visit and the initial skin and state of health. Since everyone has their own health characteristics and different biological ages, the results of therapy may vary.

Skin rejuvenation is a dynamic process that can be sustainably promoted through red light therapy. Minor injuries and acne scars can begin to improve noticeably after two weeks of intensive visits.

n general, the best results are achieved in the first 8 to 12 weeks. On the other hand, when treating long-term and open wounds, it will take longer to get results.

In recent years, red light therapy has gained widespread recognition. Despite its simplicity, the procedure is said to be able to solve various skin problems, improve eye health and sleep, promote metabolism and blood circulation, reduce inflammation and muscle fatigue, and help fight excess weight.

These claimed benefits of a simple, fast and non-invasive method seem almost impossible. However, to understand how true these statements are, it is worth looking into scientific research.

Over 200 different studies on red light therapy have been published in the last 5 years. A review of these studies almost always concludes that red light can enhance a variety of biological processes. Although improvements in various areas due to this therapy are scientifically proven, the exact mechanism of action of the therapy has not been established. The authors of the studies emphasize that the results are most likely related to the ability of red light to provide additional energy in the mitochondria of cells.

Although red light therapy is safe for both the skin and the eyes, you should make sure that you do not have any major illnesses or other health problems before visiting.

For example, if you feel ill, have undiagnosed symptoms, or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you should not go to this therapy. In case of any illness, consult a qualified doctor for recommendations before starting the red light therapy.

To ensure the maximum effectiveness of red light therapy, it is essential to use light at the correct wavelength. The researchers have concluded that light waves must be in the range of 610 to 700 nm for it to be successfully absorbed into the skin. Our device uses red light waves at a length of 633 nm.

Infrared light rays are also used in some similar therapies, but our light device does not use that frequency of light waves. Both wavelengths have been shown to improve cell function. However, it is the shorter light waves that are absorbed into the surface skin tissue, which help the most inimproving the health and appearance of your skin. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye and penetrates deeper tissues, providing other functions.

Invasive methods, harmful UV rays, drugs or any chemicals are not used in red light therapy. Therefore, the treatment is considered safe and painless and has no negative side effects. However, if you have skin conditions or other significant health problems, always consult a specialist before attending treatment.

To significantly improve your skin’s health, it is recommended to start with an intensive regimen of therapeutic visits, which is gradually reduced. For the most visible results, it is recommended to start with a 10-minute session three to five times a week. This frequency of visits should be maintained during the first to fourth week. After this period, the number of visits can be reduced to two or three times a week. This schedule can be maintained for up to 12 weeks.

n order to constantly maintain the achieved state of health within your skin and continue to stimulate biological processes, it is recommended to attend red light therapy at least once a week. Before starting treatment for long-term and severe skin conditions and wounds, visit a qualified specialist who will give you appropriate advice on how to visit the treatment and how often.

Yes. During the treatment, concentrated and safe waves of red light are provided, which are absorbed in a 10 mm deep layer of skin. This light reaches the cells, thus providing additional energy for the skin's regeneration processes. As a result, additional collagen is produced, and the ability of cells to regenerate is stimulated. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, its color is more even and the damage become less visible. Red light therapy has long been used to improve both skin health and appearance.

Unlike the light that is used in tanning beds, red light therapy does not use ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the procedure is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. However, if you have any significant skin conditions, consult your doctor before attending this treatment.

No. Skin burns are caused by exposure to UV rays. Because red light therapy does not use harmful light waves, it is completely safe for your skin’s health and it cannot cause burns. On the contrary, red light rays can be used to treat skin burns faster. Due to the stimulation of cell regeneration, the healing time of the skin is significantly reduced.

Yes, it is safe for the eyes. Our device does not use light waves that could adversely affect your eyes. Unlike blue and white light waves, red light has the potential to improve eye health by promoting the regeneration of the cells. Although the use of red light in the treatment of eyes has not yet gained widespread popularity, there is a wide range of clinical evidence available for its ability to naturally restore the macular of the eye, reduce glaucoma progression, and promote healing after an eye injury.

In some cases, you will hear that red light therapy can be harmful to the eyes. This is because infrared light is used in some red light therapy devices. In such cases, the heat generated by the infrared rays may cause the eye to overheat. Because the Floaty salon uses only low light frequencies or red light waves, your eyes are not only protected, but their health is also improved.

No, unless you are hypersensitive to intense light. Because our device uses only eye-safe red light waves, it is not necessary to protect your eyes during a session. If you are hypersensitive to light, you will find special glasses in the treatment room to use during the session.

As the light used in the therapy device is relatively intense, we recommend looking down during the first half minute of the session, thus allowing the eyes to get used to the light. For the rest of the session, you can safely look directly at the light source.

There are currently insufficient clinical trials on the effects of red light on pregnancy. Although there is reason to believe that it is safe for pregnant women, you should consult your doctor before starting treatment.

The effects of red light therapy on tattoos have not yet been properly studied. The additional pigment in the skin can cause more intense light absorption at a particular place, but this has not been proven. The effect of light on the tattoo itself has also not been observed.

To protect tattoos from any unintended reaction to light, we recommend covering them before the session. This can be done quickly and easily by covering the tattoo with a piece of fabric and securing it with adhesive tape that is suitable for the skin. Band-aids can be used for covering smaller tattoos.

In the Floaty salon, red light therapy takes place in a modern, Italian-made device equipped with 1440 LED diodes. Due to the power of the device, you will get the desired effects in a 10-minute session.

By extending the session time per visit, the intensity of stimulation of biological processes increases only slightly. If you want to speed up the skin regeneration process, it is advisable to repeat the session at another time.

No special preparation is required to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy.

The procedure takes place in a closed room, where you will be undisturbed. Take off any clothing, leaving something on only on those parts of your body that you do not want to stimulate with light therapy (such as tattoos). It will also not be necessary to remove your makeup, because the light is intense enough and a thin layer of makeup will not interfere with its absorption into the skin.

No. To ensure maximum effectiveness of the treatment, excess clothing should be removed before the procedure. Any clothing material left will absorb some of the intensity of the red light. This will reduce the effect of the treatment. If you feel more comfortable in your underwear, you can leave it on during the treatment.

The red light procedure is one of the easiest methods to improve well-being, beauty and health. It takes place in a vertical, solarium-like device equipped with the highest quality LED diodes. You do not have to do anything during the procedure. Let the light do all the work for you!

In a 10-minute session, your skin absorbs the necessary light energy to stimulate biological processes. Because the therapy device uses LED lights that provide sufficient power while maintaining a low temperature, so no shower will be required after therapy.
