As the need for anti-aging treatment is increasing new technologies are emerging that redefine skin care. Red light therapy is one of the innovative technologies that help against anti-aging. The red light therapy has gained prominence for its amazing anti-aging effects. We will be understanding red light therapy and how it can be used in your fight against aging.
What is red light therapy?
Cellular energy boost
Red light therapy is known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as well as photobiomodulation (PBM). It exposes your skin to low-level wavelengths of red or near-infrared light. This process enhances cellular energy production which boosts:
- cellular function
- promotes optimal performance.
- cellular regeneration
Boost collagen production!
Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin. Collagen tends to decline with age which leads to wrinkles and saggy skin. Red light therapy promotes fibroblast that is responsible for collagen production. The increase in collagen thus contributes to:
- Improved skin elasticity
- reducing fine lines and wrinkles
Improve blood flow and oxygenation:
Red light therapy promotes the formation of new capillaries which improve circulation that lead to better distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. The increase in nutrient supply supports repair and regeneration of skin which results in a youthful complexion.
Reduce inflammation!
Red therapy light has anti-inflammatory properties which calm irritated skin and reduce redness. By decreasing the inflammation in the skin, you can achieve a balanced complexion.
Benefits of red-light therapy
Say goodbye to wrinkles and fine lines!
The boost in the production of collagen and cellular energy leads to a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines. Constant use of red-light therapy can give you more youthful skin.
Better skin texture and tone
Due to it’s anti-inflammatory properties, it gives you an even complexion and the texture of your skin also improves because of better blood flow and oxygenation.
Scar reduction
Red light therapy stimulates tissue repair and regeneration which reduces the appearance of scars. This feature is very beneficial for people who have some sort of injuries or surgeries or have acne.
Heal Wounds
Red light therapy benefits extend to wound healing. It speeds the healing process and minimizes the visibility of wounds. This benefit helps you get a smoother and more resilient skin surface.
Painless solution
Red light therapy causes no pain and it’s a great alternative to the aggressive anti-aging treatment. It has minimal side effects which make it a more convenient and effective option compared to the rest when it comes to anti-aging solutions.
Choosing the right device
Red light therapy comes with so many options and forms. Remember to choose a device with an appropriate wavelength that is around 660 nm for red light and 850 nm for near-infrared light for the best anti-aging benefits.
Consistency
Consistency goes a long way. Incorporate red light therapy into your daily skincare routine with regular sessions. For optimal results follow the recommended guidelines for the device that you are using.
Make a combo!
Red light therapy is a powerful anti-aging tool and combining it with skin care can give you even better results. Use high-quality skin care products which include cleansers, toners, serum, and moisturizer to get the most benefit out of it.
