What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating cellular regeneration and enhancing collagen production. This non-invasive treatment has been shown to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote overall skin health.1 In addition to rejuvenating the skin, red light therapy can have wide-ranging effects on overall health, including reducing inflammation, repairing damaged muscles, promoting wound healing, and increasing blood flow.
How Red Light Therapy Works
During a red light therapy session, targeted wavelengths of light are emitted from specialized LED panels and absorbed by the skin’s cells. This stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy source for cellular processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, improved blood circulation, and faster tissue repair.
