Near-Infrared Therapy (NIRt)
Beyond Red Light TherapyNear-Infrared Therapy (NIRt) has gained attention for its suggested ability to activate anti-inflammatory processes. Near-Infrared Light is part of the infrared light spectrum and is the nearest to the visible range. Studies suggest that near-infrared light can increase the activity of cytochrome oxidase and superoxide dismutase. Which in turn means its role in inducing beneficial metabolic and antioxidant effects.
Furthermore, NIR light research suggests it may also boost human cerebral blood flow and cognitive functions without adverse effects. NIRt is a novel paradigm for suggested treatment for visual and neurological conditions. It provides scientific evidence to support the use of NIRt, emphasizing molecular and cellular mechanisms in various situations. While not fully understood, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic benefits of NIRt appear to depend upon the absorption of NIR photons in the wavelength range of 600–1,200 nm by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria.
ARRC LED utilizes Near Infrared wavelengths as carrier waves for frequency augmentation. The depth gained from NIR penetration into the body creates an extraordinary vehicle to modulate biological processes with a resonant frequency.
ARRC LED utilizes 3 unique Near Infrared wavelengths, 810nm, 850nm and 940nm. Our wavelength and frequency formulations are patent pending.
History
Photobiomodulation may sound new to many people and clinicians, but forms of light therapy were known for over 50 years of independent research worldwide. NASA started to research light treatment in the 1990s, and universities and research institutions worldwide have begun to study it for its suggested beneficial effects on diabetes, neuropathy, wound healing, and much more. Scientists from NASA have found that cells exposed to near-infrared light from LEDs, the energy just outside the visible range, may grow 150 to 200 percent faster than cells not stimulated by such light. In theory, they found that the light arrays can increase power (ATP and nitric oxide) and speed up the healing process.
Side effects
The specialists generally consider Near-Infrared light Therapy safe and free of side effects. Remember that, like with every light therapy, eye protection is necessary.
Benefits
The critical characteristic of near-infrared light is its suggested ability to penetrate deep layers of the skin, the body’s muscles, and other tissues, and even down to the bone. In theory, NIRt can provide faster healing and better pain relief. According to the research, Near-Infrared Light Therapy may have positive effects on the human body, such as:
- Recharges mitochondria
- Promotes cell regeneration
- Increases energy
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves circulation
- Heals wounds faster
- Faster recovery time after working out
- Provides pain relief
- Rejuvenates the skin
- Lessens joint and muscle pain
- Improves flexibility
- Provides anti-aging benefits
