Red light therapy (RLT) uses red light to improve skin appearance and promote healing. It’s also known as photobiomodulation.
How it works:
RLT uses low-energy red light to stimulate mitochondria, the energy source of cells
This stimulates collagen production, which improves the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
RLT also increases blood flow, which helps with healing and pain relief.
What is RLT used for:
RLT is used to treat acne, wrinkles, scars, redness, and other signs of aging
It can also help with wound healing, muscle recovery, and joint health.
Who uses RLT:
Dermatologists use RLT as a complementary therapy to treat skin conditions. Professional athletes use RLT to promote healing and recovery.
Different light therapy colors (like red, blue, green, etc.) are used to target various skin concerns, with red light promoting collagen production and healing, blue light addressing acne and bacteria, and green light reducing inflammation and hyperpigmentation.
Red Light: Benefits: Stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and promote healing.
Uses: Anti-aging, wound healing, reducing inflammation, and improving skin texture.
Penetration: Red light penetrates deeper into the skin than blue or green light.
Blue Light: Benefits: Kills acne-causing bacteria, reduces oil production, and can help with acne and scarring.
Uses: Acne treatment, reducing inflammation, and improving skin clarity.
Penetration: Blue light primarily affects the skin’s surface.
Green Light: Benefits: Reduces inflammation, calms skin, and can help with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Uses: Reducing redness, calming irritated skin, and improving skin tone.
Other Colors and
Combinations
Purple (Red and Blue): Combines the benefits of both red and blue light, making it effective for anti-aging and acne treatment.
Yellow/Orange: Can soothe irritated skin, boost collagen production, and combat redness.
Near-Infrared: Penetrates deeper than red light, potentially aiding in inflammation reduction and wound healing.
Important Considerations:
Consult a Professional: Before using light therapy, especially for acne or other skin conditions, consult a dermatologist or esthetician.
Eye Protection: When using blue light therapy, eye protection is crucial.
Combination Therapy: Some treatments combine multiple colors for a more comprehensive approach.
