It's like a cellular workout.
At the core of light therapy is photobiomodulation—the process where light energy is converted into cellular energy, leading to a long list of health & beauty benefits. A non-exhaustive list includes improved skin health & appearance, increased blood circulation and lymphatic flow, reduced inflammation, faster healing, and enhanced cellular function across the board.
Including light therapy in your self-care routine is much like the inclusion of a regular exercise routine…only this approach improves your body's efficiency from the cellular level.
This is where to start if you're hoping to resist Father Time.
How light therapy works
This phenomenon is similar to photosynthesis in that the photons from light therapy interact with essential enzymes within the mitochondria—often referred to as the 'powerhouse of the cell' in biology. Specifically, these photons are absorbed by the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which catalyzes an increase in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Visualize the enzymes as locks and the photons as keys. When the right keys strike the corresponding locks, the doors to ATP production swing wide open, leading to significantly enhanced levels of ATP. This surge provides cells with a burst of energy, empowering them to heal, rejuvenate, and repair more effectively and rapidly.
Thus, light therapy not only enhances external appearance; it also stimulates a profound powerhouse of cellular activity. It propels the body's innate healing and rejuvenating processes, operating with the precision and harmony of a meticulously orchestrated symphony of light, enhancing overall health and wellness.
Essential Proteins: Turbocharge Collagen and Elastin
The surge in ATP from light therapy does more than just energize cells; it also promotes the synthesis of crucial proteins for skin health and elasticity, specifically collagen and elastin. These structural proteins are vital for maintaining skin firmness and flexibility. As ATP levels increase, cells gain more energy to produce these essential proteins. This becomes increasingly important as we age and the natural production of collagen and elastin diminishes, leading to common signs of aging like wrinkles and decreased skin elasticity.
Enhanced ATP production through light therapy equips skin cells with the necessary energy to boost collagen and elastin synthesis, leading to firmer, more youthful skin that can repair itself from within. This not only rejuvenates the skin on a cellular level but also supports its structural integrity and resilience, effectively reversing the signs of aging and improving overall skin appearance.
The increase in ATP facilitated by light therapy is foundational not just for energizing cells but also for building a more resilient, youthful skin structure. This treatment goes beyond superficial beauty enhancements—it's a powerful tool in the pursuit of lasting health and vitality, supporting the skin's ability to maintain its youth and strength over time.
Light therapy is not simply a treatment—it's a relaxing investment in longevity and long-term quality of life.
