After treatment, the common result is long-lasting clear skin.
It’s safe, it’s not hot, it’s not painful. After some weeks, the blue light can help control your acne.
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses low wavelength red light to reportedly improve your skin’s appearance, such as reducing wrinkles, scars, redness and acne. It’s also touted to treat other medical conditions.
Red Light technology is also known as Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT), which is based on the benefits of exposing the skin to the Sun’s renewing Red Rays. Red Light Rays are the highest of the visible Light Rays, it uses red low-level wavelengths of light to treat skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds, among other conditions. Red Light Skin Rejuvenation accelerates skin healing by penetrating the bottom of the skin’s dermis layer and into the subcutaneous fatty layers. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin proteins, increasing the skin’s metabolism of healthy oxygen and nutritional molecules.
In the early 1990s, RLT was used by scientists to help grow plants in space. The scientists found that the intense light from red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) helped promote growth and photosynthesis of plant cells.
Red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created. The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.
