Red light therapy is slowly gaining momentum in the weight loss industry, with some users reporting a waist reduction of up to 0.12 inches within just 6 weeks of treatment.
Such intriguing data has made waves in the fat-burning enthusiast community and drawn attention to the scientists who back up the claims.
The treatment comes in the form of devices that use laser and LED lights of visible and invisible wavelengths to activate its function once it shines on the skin.
Several reviews have highlighted the performance of red light therapy in improving health and body shape making it best treatment for weight loss.
RLT can help break down fat stored within the body to promote physical health. Natasha, user of BIOMAX 900 expresses, “In just two weeks, my skin has improved significantly and I’ve noticed a reduction in stubborn fat.”
Another user also highlighted how the device helped her lose weight in the same amount of time. “I love it! In 14 days, I can already tell that my stomach is flatter,” comments Debie Lacour.
Some users have brought the device for other purposes, but reported that it helped them lose weight as a bonus.
Julie Perry says “I had bought this for my back pain which definitely went away 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 he does.”
Red light therapy not only helps to reduce weight but also gives an energy boost. A BIOMAX 300 user shares, “I’m losing weight and gaining more energy. It lets me stay more focused while healing my sore body after a workout.”
According to some users, RLT comes with systemic benefits beyond body shaping and shows improvement in endocrine function.
Debbie Bright reports, “I put BIOMAX900 on myself and let the good times shine! It’s improved my sleep, but I’ve also noticed changes in my thyroid and gut health.”
Red light therapy has also benefited many with a holistic approach within 10 minutes of use.
JM 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 much tighter, blood pressure drops, varicose veins shrink/whiten, slimmer appearance, deeper and better sleep, less depression about current events and more energy!”
Although the effects of red light therapy on weight loss are reported in different research papers, two studies focused on this particular benefit.
One is a pilot study by 2020 which involved 60 overweight adults who saw a waist reduction of between 0.6 and 0.12 inches. Another is from 2017 which noticed a decrease in the size of the abdomen.
In addition, many scientists have pointed out how red light therapy helps with weight loss. Some of them include –
Deeper Tissue Benefits: As NIR light penetrates deeper tissues, it stimulates cellular metabolism and muscle growthwhich in turn helps improve body shape.
Brazilian researchers in a study report that NIR light works to positively transform body composition. Additionally, it also helps reduce inflammation when combined with exercise – leading to increased fat loss.
Another study found that longer wavelengths speed up muscle healing and growth. This not only stimulates a higher basal metabolism but also boosts fat burning.
Reduction of Cellulitis: RLT, especially NIR light works more effectively on belly fat when combined with treadmill training for cellulite.
A 2011 study conducted on 20 women revealed that their cellulite was significantly reduced in the buttocks and hip areas after having both treatments at the same time. In addition, it also improved skin texture in addition to targeting stubborn fat.
Targeted Fat Loss: The treatment helps many sufferers looking for fat loss in targeted areas such as bellyhips, arms or thighs.
A 2009 study in 67 people aged 18-65 used the device 3 times a week for 2 weeks. They revealed that the treatment 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 changing diet or exercise.
Improved skin firmness: RLT wavelengths not only help in fat reduction but also influence the resulting weight loss results. One of them is loose skin.
One of the main functions of RLT is that it can effectively stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This further helps in improvement skin tightening and flexibility.
According to a 2008 research review, fibroblasts are highly responsive to red light wavelengths. Such cells boost collagen production through light which ultimately helps improve skin texture and firmness.
Reduction of stretch marks: RLT also helps minimize the stretch marks that often result from weight loss.
The treatment stimulates cellular metabolism and accelerates fibroblasts that improve microcirculation. This helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Studies also support the effectiveness of RLT in reducing stretch marks.
