Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy
A lot of people are looking for ways to tone and hydrate their skin. As we get older, we may find ourselves looking for ways to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and keep our skin toned and tight.
For many people, Red Light Therapy has been revolutionary. It can help to minimize pores, wrinkles, and fine lines while giving the appearance of plumper, more hydrated skin, all without the risks associated with other skin therapies.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light therapies were first used in the early 1990s by scientists looking for ways to boost the growth of plants in space. Red LEDs were found to promote growth and photosynthesis of plant cells. It was then studied for use in medicine, with a particular focus on increasing the energy in human cells.
How Does the Process Work?
Unlike many anti-aging and beauty therapies out there, red light treatment has plenty of science behind it. When your body is exposed to the low-level wavelengths of red light, it produces a biochemical response, increasing the energy stored within your cells by strengthening the mitochondria. This increase in cellular energy can help them to work more efficiently and boost recovery. In your skin, this can increase collagen production, potentially helping with the healing of scars and other skin conditions, as well as minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
Add a photodynamic topical gel, and the effects can be even better. It is light-activated, meaning that it works perfectly with red light therapy to minimize pores, wrinkles, and other skin issues. It works by delivering the photodynamic ingredient to the skin encased in slycopspheres, a nanoparticle delivery system, to make it more stable and more effective. This stability makes the process much safer and more reliable, decreasing downtime and discomfort and reducing the risks often associated with other aggressive anti-aging techniques.
What Are the Results Like?
It’s important to keep in mind that results vary from patient to patient based on a number of factors. A series of treatment sessions may be required for optimal results. However, it all depends on the unique case. During a consultation, we can give you an idea of the kind of results you can expect.
