Red Light Therapy [RLT]

What is it? A low-level red and near-infrared light used to stimulate cellular function.

Benefits? Promotes healing, reducing inflammation, and improving skin health by boosting cell energy (ATP) and collagen production, helping with issues like wrinkles, acne, muscle recovery, and hair growth, though more research is always needed for specific claims. It works by having skin cells absorb light, which energizes mitochondria, leading to increased cellular repair and regeneration, and is available in clinic or home devices.

In honor of all the snow (and potential for more!).  . .

4) Cover coughs and sneezes: Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and throw the tissue away immediately. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
