Red Light Therapy
The science behind the beauty.
Safe and effective red light therapy—a revolution for any skincare routine.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is a treatment that helps skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of your body heal. It exposes you to low levels of red or near-infrared light that is a proven method of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, backed by numerous research and clinical studies.
In aesthetic applications, red light is often emitted through LEDs (light emitting diodes) which produce light energy with very little heat, providing a non-invasive, comfortable experience for the client. It is a safe and effective technology for clients who wish to naturally reduce fine lines and deep wrinkles, while improving the overall appearance of the skin.
Optimal red light therapy results are achieved with regular use, with the most noticeable reduction of fine lines and wrinkles occurring at 6 to 8 weeks of treatment.
How can red light therapy improve your skin?
By emitting a precise 620-nanometer wavelength, our red light therapy gently penetrates the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing overall skin vitality. This non-invasive, safe approach revitalizes your skin's appearance, offering a radiant, youthful glow without downtime or side effects.
Origin of Red Light Therapy
To find a solution for growing plants and feeding astronauts in space, NASA enlisted the expertise of plant biologists, who looked to LED lights for the answer. Once LEDs proved to be successful in plant growth, NASA investigated the use of LED therapy in tissue healing and found positive results. This research fueled the development of innovative and powerful LEDs that are now used in a variety of medical and aesthetic applications.
How Does Light Therapy Work?
Just as plants harness sunlight through chlorophyll to bloom and thrive, our skin too has the incredible ability to absorb different wavelengths of light, triggering a cascade of rejuvenating cellular activities. Each hue in the light spectrum is a key to unlock specific skin benefits:
Are there risks?
LED light therapy is widely recognized for its safety, particularly as it doesn't involve harmful UV rays or heat, minimizing the risk of thermal damage.
Moreover, this therapy doesn't require recovery time, unlike more aggressive treatments. However, it's important to note that certain conditions may increase sensitivity to light therapy.
Individuals using medications causing light sensitivity or topical treatments like Retin A may experience heightened skin sensitivity. Reactions are possible under these circumstances, so consulting with a skincare professional before starting LED light therapy is advisable.
This technology, effective across all skin types, offers a non-invasive option to address various skin concerns and enhance overall skin health.
