No Risk Of Burning With LLLT or NIR RED LED Light
The main reason many consider this type of therapy so safe is because it utilizes LLLT or Red/NIR LED Lights that does not promote strong heat or thermal effects that could cause serious damage to the skin or tissues underneath the targeted areas. This is evidenced by the fact that LLLT can even be applied over metal and ceramic implants in the joints with no risk of thermal heating/burning.
LLLT and Red/NIR light therapy is a gentle modality that works by supplying energy to the targeted areas of body in the form of billions of photons of light that on a cellular level is transformed into chemical energy. This chemical energy is then utilized by the body to commence accelerated tissue repair, release of endorphins and other strong healing effects to aid withdrawal and cravings when attempting to quit smoking and similar substances.
In conclusion, LLLT and Red/NIR light therapy is overall considered to be a very safe treatment. At-Home Laser Light Therapy devices can be utilized safely and effectively with the right guidance. One should always consult with a qualified doctor or other qualified health professional before starting a program of at-home self light or LLLT treatment. Results are not guaranteed.
