The Future Form™ NOVUS Red Light Therapy Bed

For red light therapy to be most effective, the light should directly reach the skin area being treated. Wearing clothes over these areas can block the light, diminishing the therapy's effectiveness. Therefore, it's best to expose the skin you're targeting to the light. However, for comfort or personal reasons, you may wear minimal clothing that doesn't cover the area of focus. Remember, privacy and comfort are important, so adjust your clothing as needed while ensuring that the light can effectively reach the skin areas you wish to treat.

Pros: Red light therapy has been scientifically shown to promote skin health by stimulating collagen production, reduce pain and inflammation, and enhance wound healing. It is a non-invasive and low-risk treatment option with minimal downtime, making it suitable for various conditions.

Cons: While generally safe, red light therapy may require multiple sessions for noticeable results, which can be time-consuming. The effectiveness of the therapy can vary among individuals, and not everyone may experience the same level of benefit. Additionally, looking directly into red light sources can potentially cause discomfort to the eyes, so it's essential to follow safety guidelines.

For optimal benefit, maintain a distance of approximately 15 to 30 centimeters (5,9 - 11,8 inches) from the skin when using a red light panel.

The effectiveness of 10 minutes of red light therapy can vary depending on the specific goals and the intensity of the light being used. While shorter sessions can provide benefits such as improved circulation and a potential mood boost, for more specific therapeutic goals like skin rejuvenation or pain relief, longer sessions or multiple sessions per week may be recommended by healthcare professionals. It's essential to consider your specific needs and follow the recommended guidelines for the best results.

An infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly instead of heating the air like traditional saunas. Infrared wavelengths penetrate the skin and raise the body’s core temperature, promoting sweating and various physiological effects.

A traditional sauna heats the air around you, typically reaching temperatures of 70–100°C (160–212°F), whereas an infrared sauna uses infrared radiation to heat the body directly at lower temperatures (45–65°C or 113–149°F), making it more tolerable for some users.

Infrared heat penetrates 1.5–5 cm (0.6–2 inches) into the skin, reaching muscles, joints, and even fat tissues, unlike traditional saunas, which mainly heat the surface.

Yes, infrared-induced sweating may help excrete heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic), BPA, and some toxins via sweat. However, the primary detox organ is the liver, and infrared therapy should be used as a complement, not a sole detox strategy.

Yes, infrared heat increases vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), leading to improved blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, similar to moderate cardiovascular exercise.

Infrared heat induces a mild hyperthermic response (artificial fever), stimulating white blood cells, increasing heat shock proteins, and enhancing immune function.

Indirectly, yes. A session can burn 200–600 calories by increasing heart rate, metabolism, and sweat production, but it should not replace exercise and a healthy diet.
