Red light therapy
Do you want to strengthen your body? Improve your mood and take care of your mind? Are you suffering from inflammation and associated pain? Do you have a problem with a slow-healing wound or a persistent injury? Photobiomodulation is a treatment that has a wide range of effects on the human body. It has a perfect impact on the skin and hair, rejuvenates, and has analgesic properties. We recommend it to women and men, young and old, athletes, and people suffering from chronic diseases.
We are like plants – we also need light.
Photobiomodulation at SI Strefa Regeneracji is a combination of red light and near-infrared light. Both wavelengths of light (unlike other colors) penetrate deep into the skin. By reaching the cells directly, they give them their energy, which the human body uses to initiate regenerative processes and maintain the body in perfect condition. It’s a bit like your body being plugged into a charger.

How it works
Red light therapy (RLT) is a safe, non-invasive, and painless treatment that will make you feel great. Why? The red light emitted by the panel with a wavelength of 630 and 660 nm and near-infrared (830 and 850 nm) can penetrate up to 15 cm deep into the skin and go straight to the mitochondria of human cells, which are the cellular powerhouses. There, thermal energy is exchanged for ATP, the basic unit of energy transport, and is distributed throughout the body. It improves circulation, accelerates all metabolic processes in the body, stimulates tissue repair processes in deep tissues and the skin. It reaches the brain and muscles that need it the most. Muscles become more efficient, grow faster, and are more resistant to damage, thanks to energy from ATP. Photobiomodulation is a therapy whose effectiveness in the areas we have already mentioned is confirmed by numerous studies. However, studies are ongoing, and RLT is increasingly being discussed for the treatment of many other conditions.
Procedure
At SI Strefa Regeneracji, as always, we rely on the newest technology. The Derma Red Plus P900 lamp from the British company Care Lamps consists of 4 photobiomodulation panels emitting wavelengths with the best proven effectiveness – 630, 660, 830, and 850 nm. The large surface area of the device allows for the entire body to be exposed to the light. Remember that light does not penetrate through material, so we encourage you to have the session naked (Gentlemen, we remind you of the effect of RLT on testosterone secretion), or at most in underwear. And preferably standing up. This way, the light is evenly distributed throughout the body. The good news is that you only have to endure all these inconveniences for 15 minutes, which is the duration of a full session. Before starting the treatment, we explain everything to you in detail, show you the device and explain how it works. But to dispel any possible concerns right now – photobiomodulation is a pleasure. You don’t feel any pain or heat. You should relax and absorb the cosmic energy that permeates every corner of your body. You will feel better even after just one visit, but remember that if your goal is longevity in perfect condition, regularity is required. Our experts will help you create your individual treatment plan tailored to the needs of your body and spirit!

Book nowMost frequently asked questions about red light therapy
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a therapeutic technique that involves exposing the whole body or a specific area to visible red light beams with a wavelength of 620-700 nm and near-infrared light, which is invisible to the eye and has a wavelength ranging from 700 to 1000 nm. Both types of light have the ability to penetrate the skin up to a depth of 15 cm, directly reaching the cellular mitochondria and providing them with a powerful dose of energy. This energy is used to activate and accelerate many repair processes in the body.
Yes, it is safe. Research does not show any side effects. However, in order for it to be effective and conducted properly, it is worth entrusting it to a specialist. At Si Strefa Regeneracji, our qualified staff will ensure your safety at every stage of the treatment.
The session lasts for 15 minutes.
During the 15-minute session, you don’t feel anything particular. The treatment is absolutely painless and does not emit noticeable heat. Only after it, you will feel filled with incredible energy!
Photobiomodulation does not require any special preparation. Before the treatment, do not use oily creams, balms, or ointments. Avoid wearing makeup and jewelry. During the session, you can remain naked (especially recommended for men, as RLT stimulates testosterone secretion) or in underwear.
Photobiomodulation is a real energy bomb for human cells. It affects the reduction of inflammation, accelerates wound healing and tissue regeneration. It has an analgesic effect and improves physical performance. It has a very positive effect on improving mood and even has an antidepressant effect. It stimulates the brain to work intensively, which improves concentration and cognitive abilities. It has a positive effect on the quality of sleep, skin, and hair. These are just a handful of positive effects of red light therapy on the human body. You can read more about it here.
The number of treatments after which you will notice a difference depends primarily on the condition or goal for which you are seeking therapy. One treatment will stimulate the immune system, reduce swelling or inflammation. However, spectacular effects will take a bit longer. Usually, it takes several to a dozen or so treatments, performed day by day. Therefore, it is best if you contact us and together we will establish a therapy plan tailored to your needs.
