Comprehensive Guide to Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy offers an alternative treatment to traditional medical interventions. It provides e natural, long-lasting solutions that prioritize your overall well-being. To truly appreciate how it can help you, let's first look at its history and evolution.
Red light therapy traces its roots back to the pioneering work of physicist Niels Ryberg Finsen. In the late 19th century, Finsen discovered that certain wavelengths of light could positively impact various skin conditions and promote healing. Over the decades, scientists and researchers have delved deeper into the potential of red light, uncovering its benefits for human health.
Fast forward to today, and red light therapy has evolved into a versatile treatment option with applications. While medical studies are still underway, WebMD reports medical research in recent years shows that red light therapy may help with dementia, dental pain, hair loss, osteoarthritis and tendinitis. Its non-invasive nature and minimal side effects have made it an attractive choice for individuals seeking natural and holistic approaches to enhance their well-being.
You may know or hear about red light therapy by many names, such as:
• Low-level laser light therapy
• Low-power laser therapy
• Non-thermal LED light

Red Light Therapy at Senolytix
How is red light therapy applied at Senolytix? When you enter our clinic, you will likely encounter a setup involving specialized light-emitting diode (LED) devices or lasers.
These devices emit specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, penetrating the skin to reach the cells beneath. The energy these cells absorb kickstarts a cascade of biological processes, such as increased cellular energy production and improved blood circulation. This, in turn, facilitates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall healing.
You may be exposed to these therapeutic lights for a predetermined duration during a session, depending on the targeted health concerns. Dr. Osborn will tailor the treatment plan to address your unique health history, lifestyle needs, and goals.
He will explain the current scientific thinking on how red light therapy works. The waves act on the mitochondria in your body cells. Fresh energy helps other cells work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation.
Because no injections or chemical compounds are applied to your skin, red light therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional interventions like Botox, skin fillers, and chemical peels. These benefits and risks provide a better understanding of why you might consider this treatment.

Questions to Ask Dr. Osborn about Red Light Therapy
Before starting red light therapy, hold an informed discussion with Dr. Osborn. Here are six questions to guide your conversation:
1. How does red light therapy work, and what specific wavelengths are used in the treatment?
2. Based on my health history and current conditions, is red light therapy suitable for me?
3. What results can I realistically expect, and how soon will I notice improvements?
4. Are there any potential side effects or contraindications I should be aware of?
5. How frequently should I undergo red light therapy sessions, and what is the recommended duration for each session?
6. Will red light therapy interfere with any other treatments or medications I am currently undergoing?

Can you perform red light therapy yourself at home?
Yes, but beware of the differences between what you will receive from the trained professional staff at Senolytix and what’s available from non-medical sources elsewhere:
• Red light therapy devices sold online may use a lower wavelength frequency (meaning they’re less powerful) than those at Senolytix. You may not get the results you wanted.
• You must take special precautions at home, such as shielding your eyes for protection, following all instructions for proper use, and maintaining the device.
• At non-medical places such as gyms and wellness centers, beauty spas and salons, and tanning salons offering red light therapy, you should ask questions about the equipment and qualifications of the people administering treatments.
