Why You Should Be Using Red Light Therapy in Your Skincare Routine
Skincare trends have become a staple of social media in the past few years, with one trend standing out in particular: red light therapy. Previously limited to clinical settings, red light therapy now allows you to bring the treatment right into your home. By investing in a device that uses accurate wavelengths of light, such as 633nm red and 830nm near-infrared, you can achieve results similar to those of a professional clinic.
Notably, red light therapy boasts a range of benefits, from soothing inflammation to combating the effects of photoaging (i.e., sun damage). It's no surprise that it has caused a stir in the skincare community.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses tiny LED bulbs to emit red and/or near-infrared light into the skin. This form of light therapy can be found in professional settings and now also in portable masks for at-home skincare solutions. During treatment, the red and near-infrared light works by stimulating the mitochondria within each skin cell, giving the cells more energy. This energy boost allows the skin to repair itself, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, reduced inflammation and redness, and more youthful-looking skin.
Top Five Reasons to Use Red Light Therapy
Anti-aging Benefits: Red light therapy aids in new collagen and elastin production by stimulating fibroblast cells, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve sun spots by unifying skin tone and texture.
Soothing Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Red light therapy can soothe inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. It can treat chronic inflammation, aid in wound healing, and even provide relief from joint pain, such as arthritis.
Reducing Visible Signs of Sun Damage: Red light therapy helps to improve the skin’s appearance by accelerating the healing process. This results in calmer, firmer, more balanced, glowing skin.
Ideal for Sensitive Skin: Red light therapy is great for sensitive skin. It reduces inflammation and sensitivity-related redness. This FDA-cleared treatment helps to fortify the skin barrier to ensure long-term skin health.
100% Natural: Red light therapy is a totally natural, non-invasive treatment that produces noticeable results. This makes it ideal for those wanting to take a more holistic approach to their skincare.
