Does Red Light Therapy Help with Weight Loss?

weight loss

Losing weight and body fat are two of the most common goals that people have when it comes to their health. Not only does achieving a healthy weight lower our risk of developing a range of chronic and potentially life-threatening medical conditions, but it also helps to improve our mental wellbeing, boosting our confidence and self-esteem. Nevertheless, for many people, losing weight is a tremendous challenge. Unless you are blessed with a naturally fast metabolism, losing even just a few pounds can take weeks of dieting and exercise, and it can take even longer to achieve a smoother, more toned body. There are no shortcuts to weight loss, but there are treatments that can help speed up the process. One of these is red light therapy. If you are looking for weight loss solutions in Sarasota, our red light therapy service could be the answer you are looking for.

 

What’s red light therapy?


Red light therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses concentrated red light energy, delivering it directly into the body in order to create a number of different effects. Treatments are very relaxing and there is no downtime meaning that patients can get back to their usual routine immediately after their appointment.


You may also hear red light therapy referred to as Laser Lipo, LLLT, (Low-level light therapy), or Photobiomodulation. They all refer to the same technique.

 

How does red light therapy cause weight loss?


Red light therapy helps patients to lose weight by boosting their body’s energy production at a cellular level. This helps to reduce oxidative stress – something which has been shown to be a common denominator in patients who suffer from long-term obesity and associated medical conditions. Secondly, the right light energy is able to break down fat, liquefying it so that it can pass out of the fat cells and be metabolized by the body. The fat cells subsequently shrink, which then changes the appearance of our body, minimizing the appearance of cellulite as well as improving skin tone and texture. The combination of these two effects can help patients to lose weight and improve their body shape.

 

How effective is red light therapy?


To achieve the best results, patients are recommended to take advantage of the complimentary consultation so our staff can better understand their goals and needs. How many treatments will depend on factors such as health history, lifestyle, how much weight one wishes to lose, and how their body responds to treatment. However, research has discovered that just a single session of red light therapy can produce effects that are equivalent to as many as seven 30-minute cardio workouts! This makes red light therapy an ideal solution for those patients who have a busy schedule or who find physical activity difficult – perhaps due to mobility problems or other health issues. Our Sarasota laser lipo specialist team will be able to advise you how many sessions you are likely to need and will closely monitor your treatment to help ensure that you achieve the best results.
