Introduction
For years, it was believed that weight loss could not be targeted to specific areas of the body. However, recent findings in medical science have challenged this notion, revealing that red and near infra-red light therapy can indeed target fat loss in problem areas. This well-established technology offers a breakthrough in weight loss and body contouring. At Deva Med Spa in Vancouver, BC, we utilize red and near infra-red light therapy to help our clients achieve their desired body shape efficiently and effectively.
What is Red and Near Infra-Red Light Therapy?
Red and near infra-red light therapy involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and target fat cells. This non-invasive treatment promotes fat burning and can even induce targeted fat loss in specific problem areas. The therapy uses electromagnetic pulses in a given target area, resulting in ‘supramaximal’ contractions. It is perfect for women and men who wish to remove excess fat from their stomachs and tone their abdominal or gluteal muscles.
The Basics: Why Light Therapy?
Food and water are not your body’s only needs; every cell in your body must have energy in the form of light too. Fortunately, the world consists of a whole spectrum of light wavelengths, at least five of which provide bioactive benefits to the human body.
The 5 Light Wavelengths That Provide Bioactive Benefits
1. Ultraviolet (UV) Light Wavelength
Nanometer Range: 100-400 nm (Divided into UVA, UVB, UVC)
Visible to the Human Eye?: No
Bioactive Benefits: Enables the human body to synthesize Vitamin D; used to treat non-cancerous skin disorders and certain cancers.
2. Blue Light Wavelength
Nanometer Range: 380-500 nm
Visible to the Human Eye?: Yes
Bioactive Benefits: Increases brain function, improves memory, boosts mood, regulates the circadian rhythm, stimulates collagen and elastin production, kills bacteria, and reduces inflammation.
3. Far-Infrared Light Wavelength
Nanometer Range: 3000 nm – 0.1 mm
Visible to the Human Eye?: No, but detectable as heat
Bioactive Benefits: Improves circulation, promotes wound healing, detoxification, muscle recovery, enhances the immune system, and promotes weight loss.
4. Red Light Wavelength
Nanometer Range: 635-650 nm (up to 699 nm)
Visible to the Human Eye?: Yes
Bioactive Benefits: Promotes fat loss, improves aging issues, increases collagen and elastin production, improves circulation, detoxification, speeds up healing, smooths cellulite, and slows hair loss.
5. Near Infra-Red Light Wavelength
Nanometer Range: 700-2500 nm
Visible to the Human Eye?: No
Bioactive Benefits: Reduces body fat, regenerates cells, rejuvenates the skin, improves circulation, provides pain relief, heals wounds, and lessens muscle and joint pain.
How Red and Near Infra-Red Light Therapy Works for Weight Loss
Red and near infra-red light therapy can penetrate deeply into the skin to target fat cells. The light wavelengths stimulate the mitochondria within the cells, boosting metabolism and promoting the breakdown of stored fat. This process not only aids in overall weight loss but also allows for targeted fat reduction in specific problem areas, such as the stomach and glutes.
Benefits of Red and Near Infra-Red Light Therapy
Targeted Fat Loss: Achieve fat reduction in specific problem areas.
Non-Invasive: No incisions, injections, or anesthesia required.
Minimal Downtime: Return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Improved Skin Quality: Stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity.
Enhanced Recovery: Promotes faster healing and recovery post-treatment.
