Well, hello, hello, guys, you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,

and today on the podcast, I'm very excited to teach you guys all about

red light therapy, and I'm going to interview the founder of BioLight. So Dr. Michael Belkowski,

welcome. Thanks for having me, Kay. Appreciate it. Yeah, tell us a little bit about your background

and what brought you into the red light world?

Sure. So I'm a practicing a physical therapist. I have my own practice in Missoula, Montana,

where I provide a variety of kind of unique treatments relative to physical therapy.

So what I specialize in is dry needling, cupping, blood flow restriction training, and then earlier this year I added hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

So really what I'm looking for is to provide any sort of treatment that will give my patients,

you know, the quickest results, you know, real results.

And so really that's where I stumbled upon red light therapy

is I'm constantly reading.

I'm just a voracious learner and reader.

And so when I was looking through books,

Amazon suggested this red light therapy book.

So got it, read it, and the information was very interesting a lot of parallels with dry

needling in the sense that they both reduce inflammation and improve

circulation wait wait tell us what dry needling is I don't even know what that

I was just gonna say the one thing I learned if anything from the dry

needling course is that almost all pain there's some sort of combination of too much inflammation,

which is sensitizing the nerves, meaning it takes less of a stimulus to send a pain signal to your brain.

So if we can reduce the inflammation and then quote unquote sensitize your nerves, then we can normalize the pain threshold.
