Skin - Beauty - Skin health

In short there are no needles, no chemicals or anything else that could be classed as painful or damaging to your skin!

So how does it work?

The red and infrared wavelengths work in the way described in previous posts. They stimulate mitochondria, reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory signals, increase circulation and provide significant improvements not just to skin improvements, but the deeper skin health.

Health benefits such as improved circulation, anti-inflammation and improved energy production are not the only beneficial aspect of red light therapy. Red and Infrared light also boosts your collagen production, for healthier, younger-looking skin.

Multiple studies have indicated improvements in wrinkles, moisture and even natural collagen production. The increases in natural collagen stimulation can lead to younger looking skin and faster healing.

It appears that whether you wish stimulate collagen, reduce wrinkles or restore more even skin tone - light therapy can be beneficial! So whether you are trying regain the energy of youth, lessen your wrinkles or another anti-aging effect, light therapy might offer a remedy for you.

Skin healing from cuts and abrasions



"Although low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was discovered already in the 1960s of the twentieth century, it took almost 40 years to be widely used in clinical dermatology/surgery. It has been demonstrated that LLLT is able to increase collagen production/wound stiffness and/or improve wound contraction. In this review, we investigated whether open and sutured wounds should be treated with different LLLT parameters"


What about scarring improvement?

"A correlation between scar duration and improvement through LLLT could be found. No negative effects of LLLT were reported."




" in addition, no adverse effects were reported. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an efficient and safe therapeutic modality for post-burn hypertrophic scars in children, with no side effects, and should be considered a part of combination therapy for better results"


Conclusion

First and foremost, light therapy is effective and most importantly it's safe.  Whether you are using it for healing injuries & scars, wrinkles, rejuvenation or boosting collagen, research has demonstrated positive results .
