Red light therapy benefits for the skin
Red light therapy (RLT) uses low-wavelength red light to reportedly improve skin appearance, such as reducing wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne. It’s also touted to treat other medical conditions.

Red light therapy may work in skin health to:
- Stimulate collagen production, giving skin structure, strength, and elasticity.
- Increase fibroblast production, which makes collagen. Collagen is a component of connective tissue that builds skin.
- Increase blood circulation to the tissue.
- Reduce inflammation in cells.
For what skin conditions is red light therapy being tried?
- Red light therapy is promoted as a treatment for some common skin conditions, including to:
- Improve wound healing.
- Reduce stretch marks
- Reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
- Improve facial texture.
- Improve psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema.
- Improve scars.
- Improve sun-damaged skin.
- Improve hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia.
- Improve acne.

Infrared light therapy benefits the skin
Collagen and Elastin Production: Infrared light therapy, especially near-infrared wavelengths, can penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and firmness, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin texture.

Other Infrared benefits include:
• Improved Circulation: Increases blood circulation in the skin, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells while aiding in the removal of toxins and waste products, to promote a healthy, radiant complexion and accelerate the healing process of damaged skin.
• Wound Healing: promotes wound healing by stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for producing collagen and facilitating tissue repair.
• Pain Relief: Analgesic properties can help in relieving pain and discomfort associated with various skin conditions, such as inflammation, arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint pain.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness, swelling, and inflammation associated with skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.
• Enhanced Detoxification: promotes detoxification by increasing sweating and aiding in the elimination of toxins and impurities from the skin for clearer, healthier-looking skin.
• Non-invasive and Safe: Infrared light therapy is non-invasive and does not involve the use of chemicals, making it safe for most skin types.
Skin Cells Regeneration Changes Over Time
Collagen In Human Skin
The top part and the thinnest layer is the Epidermis. The upper part of the Epidermis consists of dead cells that are consistently removed and replaced by new cells. This process slows down with age and environmental radiation and prolusion. Underneath the epidermis lies the Dermis which nourishes the skin with oxygen and nutrients. With aging, these capacities are reduced, causing skin to look more dull and prone to blemishes. The dermis contains Collagen which also diminishes with aging and that is the main cause for aged skin, wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. Beneath the dermis is the deepest layer of our skin, Hypodermis. It contains many collagen cells and fat. With aging, the volume of facial fat decreases and there is less supportive tissue to support the normal turgor and elasticity of the skin.
