Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, which uses low-level wavelengths of red light, is said to have many benefits for the body, including:
- Skin health
Red light therapy may help with a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and sun damage. It may also help with wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, and improve skin texture and tone. Some research suggests that red light therapy can stimulate collagen production, which can help improve skin elasticity. - Wound healing
Red light therapy may help wounds heal faster by increasing cellular activity. It may also help reduce inflammation, which can be a major cause of pain. - Pain management
Red light therapy may help reduce pain associated with injuries, arthritis, back pain, and other joint pains. - Vision
Red light therapy may improve vision and reverse some vision loss that can be caused by aging. - Weight loss
Red light therapy may help with weight loss by increasing leptin levels and decreasing ghrelin, which can reduce hunger and snacking.
Red light therapy may also help with hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia, and may reduce the side effects of some cancer treatments.
Compression Therapy
Compression therapy has many benefits, including:
- Improved blood circulation
Compression therapy can help move blood back to the heart so it can be refilled with oxygen and remove waste. This can increase the amount of oxygen in muscles, which can help them heal and reduce soreness. - Reduced pain and swelling
Compression therapy can reduce swelling and pain, which can help with chronic edema and venous disease. - Better muscle recovery
Compression therapy can help athletes recover faster by reducing muscle soreness and fatigue. - Wound healing
Compression therapy can help heal ulcers and wounds, and improve the overall quality of life for people with chronic wounds. - Reduced risk of blood clots
Compression therapy can help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous stasis. It can also help prevent venous thromboembolism for people who are immobile.
Compression therapy can be used in a variety of ways, including compression stockings, bandages, wraps, and inflatable devices. The amount of compression needed depends on the condition, and is rated in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Low compression is less than 20 mmHg, medium is 20–30 mmHg, and high is greater than 30 mmHg.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has many benefits, including:
- Improved immune system
HBOT can help the body resist infection by increasing oxygen concentration in tissues and improving white blood cell function. It can also disable toxins from certain bacteria. - Increased blood flow
HBOT can increase blood flow to injured tissues and stimulate the formation of new blood vessels. This can help heal wounds, reduce swelling, and decrease inflammation. - Reduced air bubbles
HBOT can shrink air bubbles in the blood, which can be fatal if not treated immediately. This is especially helpful for deep-sea divers and miners who work below sea level. - Improved vision
HBOT can help treat eye problems like glaucoma and optic neuropathy by reducing retinal swelling, preventing further nerve damage, and reestablishing normal blood supply. - Faster healing
HBOT can speed up the healing process for diabetic foot ulcers, which can help people with diabetes avoid complications and regain an active lifestyle.
HBOT works by increasing the air pressure in a chamber to 2–3 times higher than normal air pressure. This allows the lungs to take in more oxygen, which helps trigger the release of growth factors and stem cells that promote healing.
Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy can have many benefits, including:
- Improved breathing
Oxygen therapy can make breathing easier and reduce the heart’s workload. It can be used to treat diseases that make it difficult to breathe, such as cystic fibrosis, COPD, or heart failure. - Increased energy
Oxygen therapy can help you feel less breathless and have more energy, which can help you become more active. Many people with lung disease use oxygen therapy while exercising, running errands, or doing chores. - Improved sleep
Oxygen therapy can help you sleep better. - Improved circulation
Increased oxygen levels can improve circulation, which can help wounds heal and reduce inflammation and swelling. - Improved skin
Oxygen therapy can help rejuvenate the skin by stimulating cell regeneration, exfoliating dead skin, and unclogging pores. - Improved immune system
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help strengthen the immune system by blocking harmful bacteria and improving the ability of white blood cells to destroy invaders. HBOT can also encourage the growth of new blood vessels and skin cells, which can help wounds heal. - Improved cognitive awareness
In some cases, oxygen therapy can improve receptive language, eye contact, social interaction, and cognitive awareness.
