What is Red Light Therapy?

Advancement in laser and light technology has forever changed the beauty industry. From light therapy, laser genesis, and IPL, there is a range of uses for these light-based tools. Lasers and lights not only provide a painless mechanism for treating a range of skin issues, but they are incredibly safe. Light, or LED, therapy is one particular treatment that has been growing in popularity. LED therapy used to trigger the body’s natural cell process and accelerate the rejuvenation and repair of the skin. LED therapy is a favourite among beauticians and users as it’s non-invasive yet powerful. LED therapy is used to treat issues such as sun damage, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, sensitive and inflammatory skin, and supports wound healing and the alleviation of scars. Overall, it also gives a boost of radiance to the skin. While light therapy, in general, has been popular, one specific version has been shown to have dramatic effects. That is Red Light Therapy (RLT).


How Does it Work?

RLT uses a red low-level wavelength of light to treat a range of skin issues. Originally, this form of light therapy was used to help plants grow in space. Scientists found that the intense light cast from red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) promoted growth and photosynthesis within plants. When studied in medicine, it was found that RLT increased the energy inside human cells, and it was shown to be an effective method for treating muscle atrophy, wound healing, bone density, and a range of cosmetic issues. RLT is thought to work on a biochemical level by strengthening the mitochondria, an organelle within cells responsible for respiration and energy creation.

What is it Best Used for?

While laser and IPL work by creating controlled damage to the outer layers of skin, RLT causes no damage to the skin, making it suitable to those with sensitive skin, or for those who don’t have downtime after sessions. Overall, RLT is best used for repairing and rejuvenating the skin. For those with acne and scarring, RLT can diminish the appearance of breakouts and scars. RLT is also an effective anti-ageing treatment as it has been shown to promote collagen production.

RLT is an exciting new therapy available to help treat a range of skin issues. Not only is it pain-free and non-invasive, but it’s effective. Regular weekly treatments with RLT should help people see results within 8–12 weeks.
