IN-light red light therapy is a non-invasive therapy. With IN-light red light therapy, we offer a way to treat high blood pressure/hypertension. This therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate cells and promote healing. The IN-light laser uses an intranasal application, whereby red light therapy is administered through the nose to reach the blood through the nasal mucous membranes. In this way, the entire body is positively influenced by the red light. Below you can read about the benefits that the IN-light laser can offer for high blood pressure.

Red light therapy stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the blood vessels. This is a natural substance that dilates the blood vessels. This leads to improved blood flow and a lowering of blood pressure.

Hypertension is often associated with chronic inflammation. Photobiomodulation reduces inflammation and promotes a healthy immune system. This can stabilise blood pressure.

Intranasal laser therapy creates a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This can help lower blood pressure.

Oxidative stress plays a major role in hypertension or high blood pressure. Red light therapy promotes the effect of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduces free radical damage.

The last point can help repair damaged tissue, especially in the peripheral areas such as the feet. To summarise: red light therapy via the intranasal method (through the nose) is a valuable addition to traditional treatments such as medication and lifestyle changes. The IN-light laser can be a good addition to this.

This article shows that the IN-light laser is very suitable for people suffering from high blood pressure or hypertension. Red light therapy is suitable as a (supplementary) therapy without side effects. A little further on in this article you can read the scientific details of red light therapy for hypertension.

Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it usually does not show any clear symptoms. On the other hand, it can cause damage to the body without us realising. These are the complaints that hypertension can cause:

High blood pressure puts extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. The risks of this include heart failure, coronary disease (heart attack) and arrhythmia.

High blood pressure increases the risk of ischaemic strokes caused by a blood vessel blockage and haemorrhagic strokes caused by a burst blood vessel. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for strokes worldwide.

High blood pressure can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure. Hypertension is also one of the biggest causes of chronic kidney disease.

Hypertension can increase weak spots in the blood vessels. This can lead to life-threatening aneurysms, such as in the aorta.

This condition can lead to hypertensive retinopathy, a condition that affects the blood vessels in the eyes. In the worst case, this can cause blindness.

If hypertension remains untreated, it can contribute to vascular dementia and can accelerate the Alzheimer's process.

Because hypertension often shows no symptoms, it is important to:

• Regularly check your blood pressure, especially if you are over 40;
• Address risk factors such as obesity, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption;

Use additional therapies, such as red light therapy, (preventively) for a healthy lifestyle.

In 2021, we conducted a study in collaboration with Saxion University of Applied Sciences and the University of Twente. This study showed that 80% of the participants experienced an improvement in blood pressure after using the intranasal laser. The blood pressure had improved by at least one class. In addition, 80% of the patients also indicated that they had experienced positive effects after using the laser. The patients were asked to use the laser nasal clip twice a day for four months and also to donate blood for monitoring by their GP.

The results between male and female subjects are very similar, which indicates statistical consistency and no gender advantages.

Photobiomodulation is a proven method that is used in healthcare worldwide. Research shows that the use of laser light reduces inflammation, improves blood flow and activates the energy factories in our cells (mitochondria).

A common factor in patients with high blood pressure is high blood viscosity and high erythrocyte aggregation (blood aggregation). In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, Timon CY Liu et al demonstrated with statistical significance that intranasal LLLT reduces blood and plasma viscosity and red blood cell aggregation.

This provides convincing data that intranasal light therapy plays an important role in lowering high blood pressure for most patients, because blood viscosity and aggregation are important factors behind high blood pressure.

In addition, the vascular walls also dilate (vasodilation) to allow blood with these problems to retain its rheological properties, which is important for ageing.

The image below shows the effect that our radiation therapy has on erythrocyte aggregation.

The IN-light Pro is a high-quality wellness product. All products in this category are intended for daily use to support general health. The IN-light Pro does not make direct medical claims because the methodology of red light therapy focuses on the entire body. It is therefore not a treatment for a specific medical condition. The basis for health products is their ability to provide a general well-being benefit or health benefit. A general health benefit is a health-related benefit that is not a treatment for a specific medical condition.

However, scientific evidence and user experiences show that improvements occur when using IN-light for specific conditions.
