Mito Redlight

Red light therapy is a newer form of therapy, only emerging as a potentially beneficial health treatment in the mid-1990s. Red light therapy has its origins in NASA research, when researchers using red light to promote plant growth found that it also helped researchers’ wounds to heal faster after prolonged exposure to red light.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red light therapy is thought to stimulate small organs within each cell called mitochondria. Mitochondria are essential to energy production within cells, and stimulating these sub-cellular organs is thought to improve energy within the cells and lead to health benefits such as improved healing and decreased inflammation and pain.

The MitoPro Series

The MitoPro series with Enhanced Spectral Energy Output™ (ESPEO) delivers energy across the full spectrums of Red (620nm - 700nm with a peak at 660nm) and NIR (800nm - 900nm with a peak at 850nm). The one-of-a-kind multi-wavelength design delivers energy across more of the spectrums of Red (~590nm - 700nm with peaks at 630nm and 660nm) and NIR (~780nm - 900nm with peaks at 830nm and 850nm) than other devices.

Mito Red Light Therapy at Upgrade PDX

Mito Red light therapy offered at our Medical Clinic in Portland, OR helps with many conditions emerging in your skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of the body. The procedure exposes you to low levels of near-infrared or red infrared light. Your eyes cannot see this light, but your skin absorbs it. We administer this therapy using a device, lamp, or laser of red light.
When the laser emits light, mitochondria absorb it under your skin. The process helps create more energy, thus healing your muscle tissues and skin. We may administer this therapy to heal tissues, reduce pain and inflammation, improve your mood, boost your brain function, restore your sleep, and beautify your skin. Mito red light therapy is a safe procedure with no side effects.

What our customers say

"Dr K has been exceptional and I am so thankful for all his efforts in helping me get my health in check. I feel so much better now than I did last year before coming to Upgrade Medical!"

"As a lifelong fitness enthusiast/athlete, and a 48yr old whom works in the industry as a group fitness instructor in multiple formats, my body is constantly battered and broken. I was looking for recovery alternatives besides my own heating pad/ice packs, and didn’t want to take more Rx meds than I already was. Upgrade Medical, and Chris, or Dr.K, as some call him, owns and operates a facility that’s provide a variety of recovery style equipment and medical gadgets that have played a big role in my chronic pain management, as well as my daily aches and pains as an athlete, allowing me to recovery quicker and just feel better in both mind and body, to allow me to continue pushing forward, at age 48, in my career in fitness. My current “routine” at Upgrade 3x a week, consists of red light therapy, PEMF, compression therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nitrogen therapy, along with cupping treatments coupled w/targeted Cryotherapy. I know it may sound like a lot, and it is, but when your body is your tool, I’m willing to put in the time to allow my body to continue to do what I am so passionate about…fitness! Sidenote- ALL of these treatments/therapies,(and more!), are included in my monthly membership! If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, and are willing to commit the time to “keep in the game” as an aging athlete, the monthly memberships are the way to go."

"Chris has a lot of knowledge and tools at his disposal for anyone interested in functional medicine. He spent a lot of time coming up with a plan to help me and I’m very happy with the results."

"Dr. K is as passionate about your healing and recovery as you are! I feel lucky to have someone on my team who can break things down from all angles and truly dive into the science of health. His holistic, multi-system approach is a breath of fresh air. The services offered at Upgrade Medical were exactly what I needed to recover from my complex and rare neurological disorder. I genuinely believe I’m healing faster than expected thanks to Dr. K and Upgrade Medical. I'm forever grateful I made the decision to invest in my health and longevity."

"Im extremely happy with my visit with Dr K! He's very knowledgeable, took his time addressing my issues and went over what he thought would work best for me. I felt like he went out of his way for me as patient and that is very rare these days. I highly recommend him!"
