How Infrared Light Therapy works

You might have heard of red light therapy. These days, it’s a fairly common term in the cosmetics world. But there’s much more to light therapy than meets the eye.

As humans, we’ve evolved under the sun’s full spectrum of light, and are affected both by visible light (which we see as colors, such as red light) and invisible wavelengths (such as infrared and ultraviolet).

Scientific research has discovered that light at specific red and near-infrared wavelengths stimulates the body’s natural healing process. When treatments use light at these wavelengths we refer to it simply as infrared light therapy.

And when this powerful light is targeted, it becomes much more effective.

This is where FlexBeam comes in.

Revolutionary recovery technology

A scientific breakthrough, we reinvented technology developed by NASA, and harnessed it into a portable recovery device. FlexBeam is the most powerful infrared therapy device of its kind on the market. FlexBeam uses red and near-infrared light to boost your body’s natural ability to heal and re-energize itself.

These wavelengths can be produced effectively by red light. Research has shown that red light therapy (or Photobiomodulation) stimulates the mitochondria, boosting adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and distributing energy where it’s needed most. As a result, this can lead to:

• Enhanced energy levels
• Quicker pain relief
• Reduction in inflammation
• Faster injury recovery
• Boosted athletic performance
• Better post-workout recovery
• Enhanced immune response
• Improved sleep quality
• Regulated hormonal balance
• Improved mental well-being
• Expedited wound healing

Discover why FlexBeam is right for you.

Treat the root cause of your pain instead of a symptom

Speed up healing

Light therapy boosts blood flow by stimulating the release of NO (Nitric Oxide) into the blood vessels. Blood vessel walls react to NO by relaxing and diluting, leaving more room for blood to flow. Once a healthy blood flow is established it drains the excess fluids and swelling, relieving pressure and reducing pain.

Decrease inflammation faster

Inflammation happens when our body spots potential tissue damage. Our body responds by producing inflammasomes (immune system receptors that induce inflammation). But what triggers this? That would be ROS (reactive oxygen species) produced by the mitochondria. Since near-infrared light has been proven to energize the mitochondria, it impacts anti-inflammation, and relieves pain.

Promote pain-soothing hormones

Near infrared light therapy mimics the natural effects of sunshine. This means that it regulates serotonin levels and stimulates the release of beta-endorphin. While endorphin will block a number of opioid receptors, serotonin is known to help greatly in regulating pain.

The research behind FlexBeam

FlexBeam was created by a partnership between scientists and doctors, who based the design on years of research and case studies.

Dr. Zulia Frost is one of the co-founders of Recharge Health, and the heart of the company. Trained as an MD, she suffered a brutal car accident that set her on a path to discover other modalities of healing. She has since become a pioneer in light therapy and neurostimulation and has treated over 10,000 patients.

Based on her studies and clinical research, Dr. Frost has also designed a variety of protocols in which FlexBeam can be used to treat a plethora of ailments.

She often makes appearances to help spread her insights on the benefits of infrared light therapy – also working to highlight the more than 15,000 peer-reviewed studies available on the healing power of light therapy.
