30 Minutes - A Variety of Health Benefits

In Red Light Therapy, you expose your skin to an LED (light-emitting diode) that emits the correct spectrum of light. When the light enters your skin, your mitochondria soak it up and make more energy, which helps cells repair themselves. Red Light Therapy has been used successfully to help treat a variety of concerns for their patients, including: body contouring (fat loss), skin rejuvenation, pain management and inflammation reduction.

Easley Health and Spine Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy works by stimulating the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria to produce increased cellular energy (ATP). With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, doing things like repairing skin, boosting new cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work harder. This is a completely natural process that can create remarkable changes to help the body to heal and energize, while prompting the lymphatic system to more fully detoxify the body.

Red light therapy has been clinically proven to produce a variety of health benefits, including:

Soft tissue repair
Weight Loss
Pain relief
Boost energy cells
Skin improvement
Reduce inflammation

Newer clinical studies have also been indicating positive benefits for dementia patients.

How Does Red Light Work?

At Easley Health & Spine we use the Contour Light® red light system, which is FDA-cleared for “body contouring”, a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for reducing the circumference of the hips, waist, and thighs. Contour Light® is also FDA-cleared for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, and muscle spasms, relieving stiffness, promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue, and temporarily increasing local blood circulation. Contour Light® is:

SAFE: The only FDA Cleared* device for body contouring, pain management, and increased local blood circulation.
EFFECTIVE: It is backed by an IRB-approved clinical study where patients experienced an average loss of 2.49″ per session.
PAINLESS: Contour Light® is painless. The only sensation you will feel is the warmth of the led lights.
FAST: Each session lasts up to 30 minutes, and you can see results from the first session!
