What is Red Light therapy?

It’s important to define what Red Light therapy is. An article on the Cleveland Clinic website states Red Light therapy is “a treatment that uses low levels of Red Light to reportedly improve your skin’s appearance, like reducing wrinkles, scars, redness and acne. It’s also touted to treat other medical conditions.”

According to the article, extended research on Red Light therapy and its effectiveness for various health issues is still underway. For example, Red Light therapy is “already widely medically accepted in its use in photodynamic therapy,” and even used to treat skin cancer as well as other types of cancer.

“With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, doing things like repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. “More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.”

How can I receive Red Light therapy at home?

The Jacuzzi® brand offers multiple ways to bring the power and benefits of Red Light therapy into your wellness sanctuary, including personal home saunas and hot tubs with powerful Red Light therapy combined with Infrared.

Jacuzzi® Saunas feature one-, two-, and three-person models designed to serve as a sanctuary in which you can rest, relax, and restore your body through the application of not only Red Light therapy but Infrared as well. Jacuzzi® Infrared Saunas promote overall health and wellness by encouraging relaxation, releasing muscle tension after physical activity, and enhancing mood and well-being.

Jacuzzi® Saunas feature high-intensity Red Light therapy, which allows you to experience the benefits of Infrared and Red Light therapy in every session.

Jacuzzi® Saunas include:

Therapeutic Far Infrared Heaters: A combination of mica-carbon low EMP heaters surround you in soothing Infrared heat as you relax in peace.

Full Spectrum Heaters: These powerful heaters deliver near, mid, and far Infrared that will enhance the benefits of your sauna session.

In addition to harnessing the benefits of Red Light therapy, Jacuzzi® Saunas allow you to experience the power of Infrared.

The Cleveland Clinic states that Infrared saunas are “cooler” than traditional saunas because they use Infrared lamps and “electromagnetic magic to create warmth” versus steam or flame-stoked heat. “The process allows Infrared saunas to operate at a lower temperature while still providing therapeutic benefits.”

Additional powerful results of Infrared sauna, according to the article, include:

After the success of Jacuzzi® Saunas with Infrared and Red Light therapy, the Jacuzzi® team wanted to bring these amazing results to a hot tub application. Jacuzzi® experts worked with a Ph.D. at the Cleveland Clinic. Together, they developed a white paper on the technology and the benefits of Infrared therapy.

At the conclusion of this research, the Jacuzzi® team worked with an experienced development partner to identify the exact wavelength output requirements for the Near Infrared (NIR) and the Red Light therapy in an underwater application so they could introduce this technology to their spa customers.

Select Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs now feature Infrared and Red Light therapy. The exclusive and luxurious Jacuzzi® J-LX® Collection, with two distinct models, was the first line of hot tubs to feature the incredible powers of Infrared and Red Light therapy.

Since that initial introduction, Infrared and Red Light therapy is now available in additional Jacuzzi® Hot Tub collections, such as the stunning models in the Jacuzzi® J-400™ Collection. This incredible combination of technologies is now also available in select Jacuzzi® Swim Spas.

The combination of Infrared and Red Light therapy in Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs delivers an unparalleled experience that is simultaneously relaxing and rejuvenating. The deep, ergonomically designed Infrared hydrotherapy FX-IR seat features full back, shoulder, and neck hydromassage.

Near Infrared (NIR) waves penetrate below your skin to reach deeper muscle tissue, specifically in your lower back area. At the same time, deep Red Light reaches surface tissue and cells, ensuring you feel regenerated long after your hydrotherapy session ends. Together, Infrared and Red Light therapy can help relieve pain and improve range of motion.

As technology continues to touch all aspects of our lives, different modalities, such as Red Light therapy, are being applied in incredible ways. If you are seeking other methods of wellness and ways to improve your life, a Jacuzzi® Sauna, Hot Tub, or Swim Spa with Infrared and Red Light therapy is just the answer.

This method combined with the incredible benefits of hydrotherapy will take your hot tub soak to the next level. Hydrotherapy alone has been touted as an effective way to ease tension, relieve tense and sore muscles, and help you relax.

In fact, hydrotherapy has proven wellness properties. The Cleveland Clinic states that hydrotherapy can help people who suffer from symptoms such as:

· Pain

· Stiffness

· Swelling

· Muscle pain

Furthermore, the organization reports that people with the following conditions may achieve symptomatic relief through hydrotherapy:

· Osteoarthrosis

· Fibromyalgia

· Parkinson’s disease

· Neuropathy

· Ankylosing spondylitis

· Multiple sclerosis

· Cerebral palsy

The article goes on to states: “Hydrotherapy can also be a good supplement to physical therapy as you recover from an injury or surgery.”

In addition to these proven benefits, hydrotherapy can be beneficial to your mental wellbeing. Stress is a common ailment among many people today and hydrotherapy can be a solution to help reduce it.

According to the Mayo Clinic, hydrotherapy is a relaxation technique that can help you reduce your stress symptoms and improve your quality of life, especially if you have an illness.

An article on the organization’s website states: “Relaxation isn’t only about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby. It's a process that lessens the stress effects on your mind and body. Using ways to relax can help you cope with everyday stress. And these options can help with long-term stress or stress related to many health problems, such as heart disease and pain.”

The article encourages people to try a variety of relaxation techniques in combination to help improve their quality of life and reduce their stress levels.

With a Jacuzzi® hot tub, you can level up your hydrotherapy by combining it with Infrared and Red Light therapy to enhance your spa experience while maximizing its benefits. Your mind, body, and spirit will thank you for the unparalleled pampering time.
