RED LIGHT THERAPY FAQ

 Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that’s showing promise in treating wrinkles, redness, acne, scars and other signs of aging.  

• Red light therapy is nontoxic, noninvasive, and considered safe for all skin types. You do not have to use any harsh topical substances or heat, both of which can irritate or burn the skin.
• Red light treatment does not use ultraviolet (UV) light.

Red light therapy works 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. 

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.

 Red light therapy is promoted as a treatment for some common skin conditions, including to:

• Improve wound healing
• Reduce stretch marks
• Reduce wrinkles, fine lines and age spots
• Improve facial texture
• Improve psoriasis, rosacea and eczema
• Improve scars
• Improve sun-damaged skin
• Improve hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia
• Improve acne

 The optimal frequency of red light therapy sessions can vary depending on the condition you're treating. Most experts recommend using red light therapy at least 5-6 times per week for best results. Some general guidelines on how often to use red light therapy for specific conditions:

• Skin health: 5-7 times per week for 10-20 minutes per session.
• Pain relief: 3-5 times per week for 20-30 minutes per session.
• Wound healing: 5-7 times per week for 10-20 minutes per session.
• Acne treatment: 5-7 times per week for 10-20 minutes per session.

It's important to note that these are general recommendations, and the frequency of red light therapy sessions may vary depending on your individual needs and goals.
