Red LED Light Treatment
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses low levels of red light wavelengths to improve your skin’s appearance, like reducing wrinkles, scars, redness and acne. LED light treatments can boost skin health and help reduce dark spots over time.
What is red LED light therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses low levels of red light to improve your skin’s appearance, like reducing wrinkles, scars, redness and acne.
How did interest in red light therapy evolve into what it is today? NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) originally began experimenting with red light therapy on plant growth in space and then used LED Light Therapy to help heal wounds.
How does red light therapy work?
Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on your body’s cells. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, for example skin repair processes, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation. Cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work more effectively.
Red light therapy may promote skin health to:
- Stimulate collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity.
- Increase fibroblast production, which makes collagen.
- Collagen is a component of connective tissue that builds skin.
- Increase blood circulation to the tissue.
- Reduce inflammation in cells.
