Red light The secret of rejuvenation

• Enjoy red light therapy at any time of the day at Thai Spa. It is especially effective when combined with our traditional Thai massages for complete recovery.
• We recommend red light therapy before a massage to prepare the body or after a massage to enhance the relaxing effect. You can treat different areas during the day between your spa treatments.
• At Thai Spa we use a combination of RED (visible red light) and NIR (invisible near infrared light) for optimal results, complementing the effect of our massages and therapies.
• Our Red Light Therapy:
  • Red light (610-760 nm) penetrates up to 2.5 cm into the skin, perfectly complementing our beauty treatments.
  • Near infrared light (760-1400 nm) reaches deep into muscles and joints, enhancing the effect of our deep tissue massages.

A REVOLUTION IN BODY CARE WITH THAI SPA

The average European spends 90% of his time indoors. Historically, humans have had varying levels of environmental exposure. We were much more engaged with the sun, water, air and earth.

Cellular energy called ATP drives all chemical processes in the body. If you have low ATP, you feel exhausted and desperate. Higher levels of ATP drive the process in a different direction: happy and productive. An understandable balance, but how to manage it?

Mitochondria are the biological batteries in human cells. Red and near-infrared light charge them, such as from the sun or MITO LIGHT® devices. Our panels generate the therapeutic effect of these wavelengths, confirmed by more than 5000 scientific studies. You can find some examples HERE.

Discovered by NASA

In 1993, Quantum Devices developed a light emitting diode (LED) for NASA to use in their plant growth experiments. NASA used red wavelengths of light to try to stimulate plant growth and found that red light did increase plant growth. (R)

An interesting and unexpected byproduct of the experiment was the discovery that the scientists, who were frequently exposed to intense red light, saw rapid healing of their skin lesions. NASA then began researching the use of LEDs to increase the metabolism of human cells and stop bone and muscle loss in astronauts, and over the years the technology spread to the general population.

Red and near infrared light

The basic mechanism of red light therapy devices is that they emit exactly the light spectrum that the chromophores in the mitochondria (mainly cytochrome c oxidase) absorb, making the mitochondria active and full of energy. The body responds to light absorption by increasing ATP energy production and enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory processes. In practice, this means that the human body is powerful and full of energy.

Mitochondrial activity is normally limited by nitric oxide, which inhibits cellular respiration by binding to cytochrome c oxidase and preventing oxygen utilization. Red light causes the so-called dissociation or separation of nitric oxide from the cytochrome, allowing it to resume its metabolic function to produce energy.
