Red Light Therapy
Services | Face
Red light therapy for the face, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, involves exposing the skin to low levels of red or near-infrared light. This type of therapy is believed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are important for skin health and elasticity.
The therapy works by penetrating the skin with light energy, which is absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy powerhouse) in the cells. This energy then triggers a series of cellular reactions, leading to the production of more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule that provides energy to the cells. This increased energy can then be used by the cells to repair damage and produce more collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Red light therapy for the face is often delivered through specialized devices, such as LED masks or panels, that emit red or near-infrared light at a specific wavelength. These devices are typically designed to be used for a few minutes each day, and many people use them as part of their regular skincare routine.
Overall, red light therapy for the face is a non-invasive, low-risk treatment that may offer a range of benefits for the skin. Red Light Therapy does not use UV lights. The LED lights used do not burn, cut or break the skin. The procedure is completely non-invasive and has no side effects of redness or inflammation afterward*.
