Red Light Therapy

How Does It Work?

Over time, our skin undergoes natural wear and tear, much like how a well-used piece of fabric starts to thin and lose its strength. Cells become less efficient, collagen production slows down, and environmental stressors take a toll.

Red light therapy (RLT) acts like a gentle reset button, using low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to recharge and restore skin cells, promoting repair and rejuvenation.

RLT stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy source for cells, helping to make them stronger and more resilient, accelerating the skin’s healing process.

Beyond boosting ATP production, red light therapy directly targets the mitochondria within skin cells.

Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of the cell, responsible for fueling cellular activities. By stimulating these mitochondria, RLT increases ATP levels, providing skin cells with the energy they need to function at their peak.

This surge in energy not only enhances repair and regeneration but also improves the skin’s ability to combat external damage, reduce oxidative stress, and maintain a healthy, youthful glow. With more energy, skin cells work faster and more efficiently.

The benefits extend beyond just ATP production. Red light therapy also enhances blood circulation, ensuring that more oxygen and nutrients reach skin cells, which accelerates the healing process. It reduces inflammation by lowering oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage cells over time.

Additionally, RLT increases the production of important skin molecules like collagen and elastin, which help to rebuild and strengthen the skin’s structure.

Overall, red light therapy stimulates the body's natural repair mechanisms, allowing the skin to heal more efficiently, combat signs of aging, and maintain a healthy, glowing appearance. This holistic approach rejuvenates the skin at the cellular level, improving its overall health and resilience.
