The point of this video is to call attention the fact that NONE of these Red light/ infrared LED panel brands and options have NEVER had clinical studies or research proving they can induce a photo-chemical response signal cascade which can then impart various metabolic benefits. Here is my rebuttal type review video about these: https://youtu.be/mtSUZk3qWY4
There are well over 2,500 photobiomodulation studies (this is research evaluating how near infrared and red wavelengths effect the body on a cellular level)..we could be approaching 3,000 studies...and we learned EARLY ON in this research 25+ years ago that it's crucially important if you want a properly effective photo-chemical response in tissues that the LASER or LED device (usually hand held) should be administered right against the body or even pushed into the body.
Why? Because otherwise DEFLECTION, REFLECTION, SCATTERING of the lightwaves/photons over the distance and at the skin level and layer down in the dermis poses a major challenge in delivering adequate joules of energy. Too much energy is lost basically, depth of penetration too minor. You need enough energy to push the photons into the body.
All the photobiomodulation benefits discovered have NEVER been achieved shining LED lights at a distance from the body. It would be very difficult to even get anyone in the PBM industry of research to take such an application seriously or to acquire funding for such a study.
By the way there is also almost no research on using LEDs to treat the entire body. Is there enough out there to know it works? Yes. However when you look into these LED tanning bed types of setups (I spent 6 years doing this) then you learn that the MOST therapeutic part of that LED bed is the lights right behind the person they are laying on and it's crucially important those medical grade diodes be within 1-2 centimeters from the skin. CENTIMETERS. Did you read that? Not 6-36 inches.
It's even more complicated...depending on the glass or plexiglass, diode lens angle, pulse rate and more all of this can impact the effectiveness of delivery of the energy into the back side of the user.
Can LED panels at a distance 6-36 inches do anything? Sure. The red light getting into the eyes could help with circadian rhythms possibly and sleep. The red light could also help improve skin tone a bit but should be 6 inches not farther. However even with the latter...LEDs that you can lay on or put against the body more closely improve skin significantly better.
Warning DO NOT try to use these LED type panels closer than 6 inches they are unsafe not designed for that. There are other LED equipment out there I can guide you on that are safe if you want to use more closely. just email me fit4reviews@gmail.com
Go look up JOOVVs website and all their safety certifications...this company is scared about getting sued that's the main reason they got all of those. It's no joke again do not use these panels closer than 6 inches.
These panels are designed for minor skin benefits and warming your skin and warming your muscles. That's it. some people have more circulation when their body gets warm.
But you know what works better?
Exercise, a hot bath, sauna, laying in the sun etc laying on an infrared mat..you get the idea. There are better cheaper ways to improve circulation and warm your skin and muscles than fancy LED panels.
If you want to follow EXACT dosing protocols as designed and according to photobiomodulation research, you have to use a different kind of device properly built to specification and that can be used hand held onto the body in specific areas or sequence of treatment. Send me an email and I will recommend what these options would be. fit4reviews@gmail.com
