If your skin needs healing ( from acne, acne scars, eczema, sun damage, redness etc.)– then the skin will heal, naturally and faster.
If it is already healthy, you will get a plumping effect, along with skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and toned radiant skin.
Red Light Therapy VS Laser Therapy
Red light skin therapy is Low-Level Laser Therapy (cold laser). It’s a milder, risk-free treatment that won’t burn, cut or hurt your skin as with laser treatments.
It also promotes cytokines release (chemical messengers). As more cytokines are released, collagen-producing cells (called fibroblasts) leap into action.
LLLT will not cause skin inflammation or Erythema after treatments.
Visible red LED light (wavelength range of 400– 700 nanometers) therapy is an effective and gentle way of healing and rejuvenating your skin, also known as photo modulation. Studies have shown that concentrated red light( no UV light is involved here) is absorbed by cell mitochondria and stimulates the production of collagen– the building block of your skin structure.
The heat and light boost blood circulation, bringing more blood and nutrients to your skin.
Just because red light therapy is gentle and noninvasive, does not mean that it can’t produce the same results as a high power laser.
And the best news?
It’s safe enough to do it at home, by yourself, whenever you want to, and it can you save dozens of dermatologist trips and a ton of money.
Now let’s get to the juicy stuff:

There are many studies proving the speedy collagen production delivered through red light phototherapy, and the results are promising.
