What is Red Light Therapy?
A form of LED light therapy, red light therapy (RLT) is a therapeutic treatment that uses red LEDs to produce low-level wavelengths that penetrate the skin in a non-invasive way. The mitochondria in the body’s skin cells absorb the red light to create energy, which experts believe helps with cellular repair and health.
Although red light therapy has a wide range of applications for both skincare and pain relief, much of the interest is in its applications for anti-aging.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work and What Does it Do?
Red light therapy works by penetrating the skin and delivering light energy to the intended cells, though they don’t feel hot to the touch. This energizes the cells and encourages fast reproduction. The cells absorb the energy through the mitochondria, the part of the cell responsible for energy production, and it gives instructions to the cells to divide.
Using red light therapy enhances your skin cells’ metabolism, and encourage cell production. These new cells replace the damaged ones that contribute to the signs of aging, such as wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines. The red light therapy can also reach far into the muscle, thus allowing cells in the muscle to regenerate faster, resulting in faster recovery and easing pain-related symptoms.
After the red LED light therapy treatments, the healthy skin cells and additional collagen help create a more youthful appearance. Red light therapy also assists with blood circulation, improving oxygen circulation and delivering nutrients to your skin’s surface. When your blood flow increases, your cells can regenerate faster.
Red light therapy doesn’t damage your skin tissue to encourage healthy cells to regrow in their place like laser therapy does. Instead, red light therapy is minimally invasive and simply promotes your body’s natural cellular regeneration.
