How Does Red + NIR Light Therapy Work?

Photobiomodulation (more simply Red and Near InfraRed Light Therapy) is a non-invasive therapy that delivers coherent natural light, of specific frequencies, to your MITOCHONDRIA - the Life Force Energy Generators in all your cells.

NovoTHOR® is a unique method to deliver consistent, coherent, predictable dosage of that proven PBM therapeutic effect to your WHOLE body from head to toe; in short, repeatable and relaxing sessions. This transcends fighting disease and degeneration, elevating true anti-aging into intentionally seeking health and active rejuvenation while optimising human bioenergetics intelligently.

NovoTHOR® is a Cellular Gym of Light while you relax, recover and rejuvenate. Clinical research spanning well over 40 years has shown that Red/NIR light therapy enhances cellular aerobic respiration and resilience, physiologically activates all human/animal tissue functionality and modulates Bio-Signalling while reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

That's why after 20 years of extensive research, clinical experience, teaching and training on Lasers/Light therapies, Dr Hisham has fallen in love with the Ultimate PBM device - NovoTHOR® - invented and made by his humanistically dedicated team of friends from THORlaser® in the UK.

Dr Hisham decided in 2018 to bring the NovoTHOR® to Auckland, New Zealand for the first time ever, as well as become their international ambassador. He is now actively teaching and inspiring professional colleagues globally to get into better healing by incorporating NovoTHOR® in their clinics, including Holistic Dental Clinics across Australia, USA and Harley Street, London.

Dr Hisham summarises the uniqueness of the NovoTHOR® in the world of PBM, as a “Category of 1”. In that it is neither better or worse than the myriad of PBM devices that utilise the same science for certain body parts (many of which are exceptional and some are even registered as Medical Devices across the world, including the THORlaser LX2 tabletop unit).

Rather “the NovoTHOR® is an intelligent whole body PBM wellness device that sits in a category of its own, unchallenged”, Dr Hisham repeats enthusiastically in his teachings.

Yes, every human at every period in their life will benefit. For example, one of the most studied and scientifically proven outcomes of Red/NIR Therapy is enhancing resilience, fitness and training results.

It improves athletic performance and speeds up muscle & heart recovery (measurable with HRV monitors). Backing up the science are the testimonies of elite pro athletes and world-class trainers who use NovoTHOR® whole body Red/NIR Light therapy every day to perform at the highest levels; by improving blood flow, oxygen metabolism (aerobic respiration), reducing recovery time and increasing resilience to injury.

Athletes and trainers are using Red/NIR light therapy to perform better because these specific wavelengths of light, repeated at the correct dosage, show great results for increasing energy, vitality, strength, speed, and endurance when used before or after exercise.

It is extensively used in the sports, training and physical therapy world for muscle/tendon/nerve/bone recovery because Red/NIR light therapy has a natural anti-inflammatory effect. Repeated studies show significantly faster healing and recovery times and experience from World Champions across all fields continue to validate that.

Red and Near Infrared light therapy has been studied and tested across hundreds of peer-reviewed clinical trials, over a period of 40 years+. Combined with millions of Clinical observations and biohacking monitoring, it shows overwhelmingly positive results for pain reduction, wound healing, skin health & collagen production, physical performance & muscle recovery, sleep modulation, joint pain, inflammation reduction, improved cognitive function and neuroplasticity, plus more...

All these human healing enhancing benefits and side benefits come without drugs, chemicals, UV rays, invasive procedures, or ANY negative side effects!

UFC Champions, NFL stars, NBA Championing teams, Olympians, world-class trainers, Biohacking masters and ever younger A-list Celebrities who seem to regenerate rather than degenerate with age (think Tony Robbins and Tom Cruise ...) are using NovoTHOR® Red/NIR light therapy pods every day for these natural health benefits.

Basics of a Red Light Therapy Pod:

A high-quality Red Light (650nm) and Near Infrared (810nm) therapy device like NovoTHOR® uses medical-grade LEDs in specific formations, converging to deliver concentrated wavelengths of natural light to your cells, without dangerous UV rays, Blue light wavelengths or excess heat!

All you have to do is relax your body and meditate your mind for 15-20 minutes in the NovoTHOR® Pod, while the Light cocoons you from all angles. Recharge your cells, rest your mind and reset your Bioenergetic flow.

The NovoTHOR® Red/NIR Light Therapy Pod is designed to cover ALL surfaces of your body concurrently for a more COHERENT absorption and activation of your cellular mitochondria. That’s why we expect to experience compounding improvements with consistent use.

Super simplified answer:

Specific Wavelengths of Red and Near Infrared Light Naturally Power Your Cells, The Right Way!

Now let’s discuss some of the natural Quantum Biology and Biophotonics involved in how wavelengths/frequencies of red and near infrared light lead to these positive biological effects in your body:

All living things need to make ATP cellular energy to function, survive & thrive. Nearly all of living things rely on natural light to power this process in our cells every day. Red and near infrared wavelengths of natural light stimulate the mitochondria in your cells, the powerhouses responsible for taking light, oxygen, and the food we eat, to transform it into usable energy for our bodies through the process of cellular respiration creating ATP.

In addition to making more ATP, with ease and better energy flow - leading to higher performance and lasting vitality of all cells/tissues - here are some of the other basic principles of Red/NIR light therapy:

1. 1. Improving Aerobic Respiration in mitochondria (vs anaerobic fermentation to make energy in dysfunctional mitochondria) is fundamental in reducing the production of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and other Free Radicals in Mitochondria. Simply Put: PBM Reduces Oxidative Stress AT SOURCE!!
      
      
   2. Improved Circulation: Studies have clearly identified a marked increase in circulation following Red/NIR light therapy. This is mainly due to the release of NO (Nitric Oxide) from mitochondria (where it is a free radical), into the smooth muscles in vascular walls where it becomes EXTREMELY beneficial. 
      
      
   3. NO causes vasodilation, thereby increasing blood flow while reducing vascular resistance. This effect leads to lowering blood pressure with higher blood perfusion in all tissues, from brain to bowels and bones. Tissues and cells now receive more oxygen and other nutrients important for healing—while also ridding themselves of toxic byproducts.
      
      
   4. Improved Electron flow in the ETC (Electron Transport Chain) in the Mitochondria through Cytochrome C Oxidase activation by Red/NIR Light means proper ATP efficient respiration is flowing correctly, ensures biosignaling to the Cellular DNA is flowing correctly and that proper cell division vs apoptosis (programmed cell death) are physiologically modulated to avoid degeneration, inflammation and mutation.
      
      
   5. Whole Body PBM (as with NovoTHOR) induces positive shifts in the Gut Microbiome that lead to better health and immunity overall. 

There is a lot more depth and width to each of these points that Dr Hisham discusses in his live teaching and online videos, while making usable sense of the science to improve human quality of life.

Red/NIR light therapy helps to supercharge your cells with the natural photonic energy they need to make more core ATP (adenosine triphosphate); The Energy molecules. With more cellular energy, your body can perform more efficiently, and recover from strain and injury faster.

Brain, Heart and Muscle cells require far more ATP energy than other body parts because of the intense demands placed on them. Humans actually recycle their own body weight equivalent in ATP every single day. The more effortlessly your body can produce ATP, the more fuel you give your organ cells, muscles and neurons to perform properly and recover repeatedly from strain.

Red/NIR light therapy also produces a natural anti-inflammatory effect, and has been shown to increase blood circulation & Stem cell flow to damaged tissues, for faster recovery and healing results.

Red/NIR light therapy has also shown very clear positive clinical results for muscle and bone recovery. This may be attributed to a collagen boost, improved oxygenation and even native STEM Cell activation and release, as many trials have demonstrated.

If you’ve had trouble sleeping, you might have heard about melatonin, the natural hormone your body makes to regulate sleep and wakefulness.

Exposure to artificial white light and Blue light after dark inhibits the body’s ability to release melatonin, increasing the time it takes you to fall asleep and preventing you from staying asleep. If you use a high-quality Red/NIR light therapy device during the day, like NovoTHOR®, it’s been clinically shown to increase your natural melatonin output, which helps you get to sleep and stay asleep in a restful state.

The increased ATP energy production from Red/NIR light therapy helps your body function more efficiently, with increased vitality and better circulation. This leads to a wide range of physical performance improvements, as shown in hundreds of peer-reviewed, placebo-controlled clinical trials.

That’s backed up by the top Light Therapy Clinics and research facilities in the world, including Harvard School of Medicine and right here in New Zealand at the Laser LifeCARE Institute in Auckland.
