Benefits 
The effects of RLT or LLLT has been studied to relieve pain, heal injuries, stimulate nerve function and improve energy imbalance and blood circulation. According to Harvard Health Publishing, different colours of LED light produce different wavelengths of visible light can induce various biological effects, such as muscle tension, pain relief, injury repair and an improvement in psychological conditions. It has also been known to stimulate cell growth, offering a painless alternative to physical therapy and invasive beauty treatments such as Botox and liposuction.&nbsp;

Pain relief and injury repair 
Red light and near-infrared light often used to treat frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome and relieve neck, back and shoulder pain. Several studies published on the US National Library of Medicine also mention that the effects of low-power light therapy when associated with exercise can be effective in relieving pain for patients with osteoarthritis in the knees. This level of electromagnetic radiation (typically between 600nm to 800nm) can penetrate through the surface of the skin and reach the bones and soft tissues, boosting the energy in the body&#8217;s muscular cells which helps repair injuries.&nbsp;
Where to go: Clinics such as Excel Medical Group and Dr. Michael Singleton provide cold laser therapy which is also a form of low level laser therapy treatment that relieve physical pain and heal injuries. Rogue Care, on the other hand, provides a range of different RLT equipment for clinical and home use that can be purchased via their website.<a href="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56325" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting.png" alt="gafencu magazine red light therapy LLLT body sculpting" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-400x266.png 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/gafencu-magazine-red-light-therapy-LLLT-body-sculpting-600x399.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a>
Body sculpting
If&nbsp; exercise has never appealed to you, body sculpting through RTL offers a stress-free option to contouring your silhouette by breaking down unwanted fat cells. It is surprisingly painless and offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical treatments such as liposuction. Lipocavitation, as Esthe Clinic calls it, is a treatment that uses ultrasonic cavitation to reduce fat cells in localised areas of the body. In a 6-week pilot study for LLLT treatments for weight loss published in the Lasers in Medical Science, the results showed 0.8-inch (2-cm) reduction in&nbsp;waist circumference.&nbsp;
Where to go: Central-set Esthe Clinic provides a body shaping programme designed by medical professionals and powered by advanced technology and equipment that help do away with stubborn fats, cellulite and loose skin to contour the body in three to five weeks time.

Skincare 
Aestheticians and dermatologists have also jumped on the bandwagon of using red light therapy&nbsp;to regenerate the skin. A study published in the Photomedicine and Laser Surgery journal offered results that showed RLT&#8217;s effects in skin rejuvenation, healing acne scars and improving skin complexion. Harvard Health Publishing has also reported that LED light on the skin can stimulate the production of collagen and skin recovery.&nbsp;
Where to go: Popular skincare and beauty company Skin Laundry, uses medical grade lasers to gently remove damaged skin and minimise the appearance of unwanted discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. There are also self-care devices such as GLOWGEAR&#8217;s GLOWDROP 4-in-1 Facial Device offers an all-in-one experience that allows you to cleanse the skin as well as expel breakouts and treat fine lines with its &#8216;Thermo-Glo Booster&#8217; and NASA-inspired red &amp; Blue LED lights.

Psychological benefits
Several studies published on the US National Institute of Medicine also have shown results reflecting the psychological benefits of infrared light therapy, stating that there were improvements of symptoms in patience with dementia and Alzheimer&#8217;s and a significant improvement in the conditions of patience with depression.
Concerns 
Red light therapy is an increasingly popular alternative therapy to healing and skincare though academics and medical professionals do warn that although RLT are generally considered safe with no reported significant effects or risks, it is still a relatively new treatment with limited clinical studies therefore the majority of beneficial claims of the treatments are anecdotal and based on personal experience.

Red Light Therapy: The glowing benefits of low-level laser therapy

Male hair loss, although common, can be alarming and is an undesirable feature many of us would like to prevent. Also known as male pattern baldness or alopecia, it is a common condition when excessive hair loss occurs in a concentrated area of the body or head. According to the experts at Harvard University, up to 40 percent of men will experience an obvious thinning or loss of hair as early as in their 20s and 30s due to genetics, side effects from medications and even as an unfortunate result of prior hair treatments. Fortunately, modern technology offers solutions to deter early onset balding and even prevent hair loss altogether. If you&#8217;re seeking to combat male balding, the following treatments are worthy of further examination.

Minoxidil
Minoxidil is a topical medication that slows down the process of hair loss and stimulates your follicles to grow new hair. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that this treatment is effective with minimal side effects. Visible results typically take between four months to one year. Unfortunately, the effects are not permanent, and continual application is necessary to continue its efficacy. &nbsp;

Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a permanent alternative for hair re-growth. The process involves transplanting hair from active hair follicles around the scalp and into other areas where hair is thinning or balding, and takes about six to eight hours. However, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), multiple follow-up treatments are often necessary for effective results. This treatment offers a permanent solution that embodies a natural look, though it carries some risk of scarring and infection. The surgery is also not suited for everybody. For instance, men whose hair loss is caused by medication or have already reached a late stage of widespread thinning and baldness won&#8217;t see much benefit from this procedure. To get a better understanding of the stages of hair loss and solutions to hair growth treatments to deter hair loss and restore hair growth, book a consultation with trained medical professionals such as&nbsp;Hair Transplant HK.&nbsp;

Low-level laser therapy
Unlike hair transplants, low-level laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless hair loss treatment that utilises low-level light energy to stimulate hair follicles without causing any scarring. A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that laser hair treatments could provide up to a 39-percent increase in hair growth within 16 weeks. Each treatment takes about an hour, with roughly four to eight sessions needed to yield results. Locally, Central-based Esthe Clinic helps clients combats hair loss by stimulating hair growth using micro-needling and organic silicon products specially developed to strengthen hair fibres and slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth process. Alternatively, DNA Hair Laboratory offers award-winning&nbsp;treatments with the latest UV technology from Japan to target different kinds of hair loss problems such as thinning hair and alopecia.&nbsp;&nbsp;
DNA Hair Labratory hair loss treatment: HK$1,450Up per session (price includes consultation and deep cleanse treatment)
