Frequently Asked Questions

We believe that God designed our bodies in perfect harmony with nature. With proper hydration, the right nutrition, exercise, and a healthy exposure to a natural environment, our bodies will thrive. But too often we are dehydrated, vitamin deficient, sedentary, and hyper exposed to our man-made environment. We focused on the three modalities that mimic the earth and sun's natural wavelengths and energy to help make up for some of these deficiencies.

A: PEMF therapy is known to offer a range of benefits, including pain relief, improved sleep quality, enhanced energy levels, reduced inflammation, accelerated injury recovery, and overall wellness promotion.

A: PEMF therapy involves the use of electromagnetic fields to promote healing and wellness, while TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) uses electrical currents to interupt pain receptors relieve pain. PEMF targets the body at a cellular level, promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation, whereas TENS primarily focuses on pain relief through nerve stimulation.

A: While PEMF therapy is generally safe, there are certain contraindications to consider. These include pregnancy, individuals with pacemakers or other electronic implants, and those prone to seizures. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting PEMF therapy.

Red Light Therapy refreshes and rejuvenates your body using natural energy. This non-invasive treatment employs red and near-infrared light to improve cellular repair, circulation, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds. It also enhances skin health by reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots for a youthful look. Aligned with our holistic approach, it uses natural elements to restore well-being. Red Light Therapy is an effective way to boost overall health.

A: Red light therapy promotes beneficial biological responses by boosting mitochondrial energy which directly affects cellular functions including repair and regeneration.

Red and near infrared wavelengths stimulate the synthesis of ATP, which is the primary fuel of our cells. This effect promotes heart and cardiovascular health but also other systems in the body.

The other three primary benefits of red light therapy include reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and regulated collagen synthesis (https://platinumtherapylights.com/blogs/news/red-light-therapy-and-heart-disease)

A: Red light therapy uses wavelengths in the visible (red) and invisible infrared range. These are safe and highly therapeutic in thousands of human and animal studies. Our Platinum LED Red Light Panels include the following wave lengths: 480NM (Blue Light), 630NM, 660NM (Visible Red Light), 810NM, 830NM, 850NM, 1080NM (NIR).

A: While red light therapy is generally safe and beneficial for many individuals, there are certain groups who should exercise caution or avoid it altogether. At Recharge Wellness, your safety and well-being are our highest priorities. We recommend that the following individuals consult with a healthcare professional before beginning red light therapy:

1. Pregnant Women: Although there is no conclusive evidence that red light therapy is harmful during pregnancy, it is always best to seek medical advice to ensure safety for both mother and baby.

2. Individuals with Photosensitivity: Those who have conditions like lupus or are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light should avoid red light therapy, as it could exacerbate their symptoms.

3. Individuals with a histroy of skin cancer or eye diseases: WebMD and Cleveland Clinic suggest that people with a history of skin cancer should consult a doctor before using red light therapy, and that those with eye diseases should also seek advice from an eye specialist.

4. Those with Serious Skin Conditions: If you suffer from severe skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or severe acne, it’s recommended to consult with a dermatologist before proceeding with red light therapy. Recharge Wellness is committed to ensuring the efficacy and safety of our treatments. Our experienced staff are more than happy to discuss your unique situation and guide you in making an informed decision regarding red light therapy.

A: Our vitamin D light therapy offers numerous benefits designed to rejuvenate your body naturally. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy bones and a robust immune system. Through our specialized light therapy sessions, clients can effectively boost their vitamin D levels, which is particularly beneficial for those who may not get sufficient sunlight exposure. This therapy has been shown to improve mood and energy levels, support metabolic function, enhance skin health, and reduce symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

A: The sun plays a crucial role in your body's ability to produce Vitamin D, an essential nutrient for maintaining optimal health. When your skin is exposed to sunlight, specifically UVB rays, it triggers a chemical reaction that converts a cholesterol derivative in your skin into Vitamin D3. This form of Vitamin D is then converted by your liver and kidneys into its active form, calcitriol, which aids in calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and inflammation reduction. By integrating natural sunlight into your routine, you're not only enhancing your Vitamin D levels but also supporting your overall wellbeing.

A: The application of artificial UVB light to facilitate the production of vitamin D. UVB light, which is a specific wavelength of ultraviolet radiation, penetrates the skin and activates the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to previtamin D3. This previtamin then undergoes further chemical changes in the liver and kidneys to become active vitamin D, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. By providing controlled exposure to artificial UVB light, we help clients achieve optimal vitamin D levels, especially during seasons or conditions where natural sunlight exposure is limited. This approach not only aligns with our mission to harness the energy of the earth and sun but also supports your body in maintaining essential health functions.

A: While vitamin D light therapy can be a beneficial treatment for many clients seeking to restore and rejuvenate their energy, there are specific individuals who should refrain from using this service. We advise against vitamin D light therapy for those with conditions such as lupus, photosensitivity disorders, or a history of skin cancer. Additionally, individuals who are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light (photosensitizing medication) should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing this therapy. Pregnant women and those with eye conditions should also seek medical guidance to ensure safety. Our priority at Recharge Wellness is our clients' well-being; therefore, it's essential to discuss your medical history with our trained staff prior to starting any new therapy. Refresh, recharge, and rejuvenate safely with the natural energy of earth and sun, as designed.
