Red light therapy has become popular for the treatment of skin conditions and other skin related issues because of its use of low wavelengths of red light. Here are some of the key advantages;
1. Benefits the skin and makes it look great
- Increases Collagen Production: Red light therapy can increase the production of collagen, which in turn reduces fine lines, wrinkles and improves skin flexibility.
- Makes skin tone and texture better: Red light therapy can help to achieve the color balance of the skin, decrease the redness and make the skin surface more smooth.
- Reduces Acne and Breakouts: Red light therapy can help with acne as it reduces inflammation and kills the bacteria that causes the acne.
2. Redness
- Red light therapy has anti-inflammatory effects, so it can help with conditions like rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.
- It can also assist with sunburns and other skin inflammation.
3. Wound Healing
- The therapy can increase the rate of tissue regeneration and therefore is beneficial for scars, cuts and other skin damages.
4. Minimizes Signs of Aging
- Red light therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps to minimize wrinkles, fine lines and loose skin.
- It may also increase skin firmness and elasticity.
5. Boosts Circulation
- Red light therapy increases blood flow to the skin, which means that the skin cells get more oxygen and nutrients, and thus the skin looks and feels better.
6. Non-Invasive and Pain-Free
- Some of the skin care treatments are invasive, painful and have down time, red light therapy is not one of them.
7. Easy to use and Convenient
