Health is in fashion!
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed. So, what happens when light interacts with our skin, or even deeper within our body? The human body is covered both inside and on its surface with receptors that are specifically designed to absorb specific wavelengths of light. Of course, that is what makes our skin pigments different due to the melanin content. But there are also receptors deep within our body, deep within our cells, that absorb light and use it as a source of energy! The most well-known and understood concept of how light interacts with the human body (photobiology and photochemistry) is known as PhotoBioModulation (PBM). The mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of our cells, have receptors within their inner membrane that absorb specific wavelengths of light (red and infrared), and use the photons as an activation energy to drive energy production through the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). When light goes in, energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) comes out. When we have more energy, we can do more work. From a cellular metabolism perspective, that means better function and more stable structure. From a beauty perspective that means younger, healthier-looking, and more vibrant skin. |

Maria's Story
In my late 50's and post-menopausal I am experiencing what most of my clients are experiencing. Heavy on the scale and thick around the middle! What happened to my body over the past decade??? Brining the Invisa-RED Lipo-Laser into my clinic in July has changed that! Without changing anything in my typical daily activities and eating plan, I have continued to lose fat ..... and I mean fat! The Body Composition scale has been a wonderful wake-up call to what it means to lose fat, not muscle. Maintaining muscle as we get into these middle-aged years is so very important! |
