Red Light Therapy for Skin
Heard of red light therapy for skin? Red light therapy, or red LED light therapy, is a treatment that involves exposing the skin to red and near-infrared light. Unlike UVA rays from the sun or tanning beds, these specific wavelengths do not damage the skin. Instead, studies show that red light acts on the cells' mitochondria, increasing the production of factors that allow cells to communicate. Cell communication helps the skin work more effectively, such as stimulating collagen production for healthier skin. Other benefits of red light therapy include treating acne and improving the appearance of plaque psoriasis, scars, and skin texture.
