Red-Light Therapy
A natural way to help anti-aging.
Red Light is the most penetrating which is why it can be helpful in skin cell regeneration and improving oxygen content in the blood by stimulating circulation.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Different wavelengths of the visible light spectrum correspond to different colors of LED light and penetrate the skin to different depths. Depending on how deeply they penetrate, LED lights can have different biological effects. Experts believe that red LED light acts on cells in the skin known as fibroblasts. These fibroblasts play a role in production of collagen, a protein that makes up a large part of connective tissue and helps the skin to recover when it’s harmed. Not all red light devices are created equally.
