Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.
Red light therapy works in 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.
Benefits of red light therapy:
• Reduces wrinkles, fine lines and age spots
• Reduces stretch marks
• Promotes wound healing and tissue repair
• Improves facial texture
• Promotes hair growth
• Increases melatonin / improves sleep
