Red Light Therapy

The blurb for Red Light Therapy: 

Red light therapy (RLT) is an emerging treatment that’s showing promise in treating wrinkles, redness, acne, scars and other signs of aging. Many researchers say more clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment. If you’re interested in red light therapy, ask your healthcare provider if this is an option for your skin issue.

Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, doing things like repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.

Red light therapy may work in skin health to:

Stimulate collagen production, which gives skin its 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?
