RED Light Therapy:
Give Your Skin A New Lease On Life
“I love doing facials with them, but one of the best things is the red and blue light. The [red] light helps develop collagen and repair things inside, and the [blue] light is good for killing bacteria...” — Olivia Munn
Celebrities Who Swear by LED Red Light Therapy:
Curious about what LED red light therapy does?
Luckily, celebrities who have long used the treatment, like Wellness pioneer Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Chrissy Teigen, Kelly Rowland, Lena Dunham, Emma Stone, and Real Housewives of New York City's Carole Radziwill have posted images of similar red and blue light facial therapy sessions.
What Does Red Light Therapy DO for skin?
Red Light Therapy helps the skin increase collagen and elastin production, rejuvenate, smooth, and brighten the skin. Red light therapy penetrates the skin and works by "increasing blood flow and oxygen, the food of cells." As a result, light therapy speeds up cellular processes, including cell turnover, while helping to decrease inflammation and enhance collagen.
FINE LINES & WRINKLES
Red Light Therapy can be combined with other beauty treatments to improve photodamage, fine lines, and sagging skin significantly. Reduced fine lines and wrinkles as well as more supple skin are key benefits. (The spectrum doesn't include UV light, so exposure is safe.)
Red Light Therapy Add-On–treatments are great if you are having a session of micro-needling CIT, acupuncture, or even a functional medicine visit. You can add Red Light Therapy to enhance your experience and results.

Red light therapy containing the 640 nm wavelength has been proven to be a safe and effective method of stimulating hair growth in men and women.

Red Light Therapy Explained:
RLT functions mainly by causing a biochemical reaction within the mitochondria cells that allows it to use oxygen more efficiently to produce energy in the form of ATP. ATP is known as the body's energy currency and is responsible for the proper functioning of every organelle, cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Unfortunately, ATP synthesis can lag for several reasons, leading to myriad health issues, including those related to the skin.
One of the most significant effects of more efficient energy synthesis at the cellular level is increased collagen production. As mentioned above, collagen is an essential protein for healthy, youthful-looking skin. It plays a significant role in healing wounds and scars, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and providing firmness to the skin.
Red light therapy has also improved blood flow by causing vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). This creates a positive feedback loop in which better circulation allows for more oxygen to reach the cells, boosts energy production, improves blood flow, and so on.
Red light therapy is also known to reduce inflammation, in part through improved blood flow, but also through the exact mechanism on which micro-needling relies: hormesis. This involves what is known as oxidative stress.
