Red light therapy is slowly gaining momentum in the weight loss industry as some users have reported up to a .12-inch waistline reduction within just 6 weeks of the treatment.
Such intriguing data has made waves in the community of fat-burning enthusiasts and drawn widespread attention with scientists supporting the claims.
The therapy comes in the form of devices that use laser and LED lights with visible and invisible wavelengths to activate its function once it shines on the skin.
Several reviews brought out the performance of red light therapy in improving health and body shape making it the best treatment for weight loss.
RLT can aid in breaking down the fat stored inside the body to boost physical health. Natasha, a user of BIOMAX 900 expresses, “In just two weeks, my complexion has improved significantly, and I’ve noticed a reduction in stubborn fat.”
Another user has also highlighted how the device helped her lose weight in the same duration. “Love it! In 14 days, I can already tell my tummy is flatter,” Debie Lacour comments.
Some users have brought the device for other purposes but mentioned that it helped them lose weight as a bonus.
Julie Perry says “Had bought this for my back pain which surely disappeared after using the light. But the most interesting part is that it also helped me break a three-month weight loss plateau. Now, I’m excited to see what else it does.”
Red light therapy not only helps reduce weight but also gives a boost to energy. A user of BIOMAX 300 shares, “I’m losing weight as well as gaining more energy. It lets me stay more focused while it heals my body pain after a workout.”
As per some users, RLT comes with systematic benefits beyond shaping the body and shows improvement in endocrine function.
Debbie Bright reports, “I wheel my BIOMAX900 over me and let the good times shine! It has improved my sleep but I’ve also noticed changes in my thyroid and gut health too.”
Red light therapy has also benefited many with a holistic approach within 10 minutes of use.
J.M reveals, “I started using BIOMAX 10 days ago and used it for 10 minutes per front or back of my body. Results so far: my skin feels way tighter, blood pressure down, varicose veins shrinking/lightening, a slimmer appearance, deeper and better sleep, less depressed about current events, and more energy!”
Although the effects of red light therapy on weight loss are mentioned in different research papers, two studies focused on this particular advantage.
One is a pilot study from 2020 involving 60 overweight adults that saw a reduction in waistline between .6 and .12 inches. Another one is from 2017 which observed a reduction in abdominal size.
Besides, a lot of scientists pointed out how red light therapy helps with weight loss. Some of them include–
Deeper Tissue Benefits: As the NIR light penetrates deeper tissue, it stimulates cellular metabolism and muscle growth, which in turn helps improve body shape.
Brazilian researchers in one study mention that NIR light works to transform body composition positively. Moreover, it also helps reduce inflammation when combined with exercise— leading to increased fat loss.
Another study found that longer wavelengths accelerate muscle healing and growth. This not only stimulates higher basal metabolism but also enhances fat burning.
Cellulite Reduction: RLT, especially the NIR light works more effectively on belly fat when combined with treadmill training on cellulite.
A 2011 study conducted on 20 females revealed that their cellulite reduced significantly in the buttocks and hip areas after getting both treatments simultaneously. Moreover, it also improved skin texture apart from targeting stubborn fat.
Targeted Fat Loss: The therapy works to help many sufferers who seek fat loss in targeted areas like the belly, hips, arms, or thighs.
A 2009 study on 67 people between the ages of 18-65 used the device 3 times a week for 2 weeks. They revealed that the therapy helped them lose up to 3.51 inches around their waist, hips, and thigh areas. Such studies highlight the potential of red light therapy for targeted fat reduction without altering diet or workout patterns.
Improved Skin Firmness: The wavelengths of RLT not only aid in cutting down fat but also work on the effects that result from weight loss. One of them is loose skin.
One of the primary functions of RLT is that it can effectively stimulate collagen and elastin production. This further helps improve skin tightness and elasticity.
As per a 2008 research review, fibroblasts are highly responsive to wavelengths of red light. Such cells boost collagen production through the light which eventually helps improve skin texture and tightness.
Stretch Mark Reduction: RLT also helps in minimizing stretch marks that often result from weight loss.
The therapy stimulates cellular metabolism and accelerates fibroblasts that improve microcirculation. This contributes to reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
Studies also support the efficiency of RLT in the reduction of stretch marks.
