Red light therapy (RLT) has gained popularity as a non-invasive treatment for skin rejuvenation and overall skin health. By using specific wavelengths of light—particularly 630nm, 660nm (red light), and 810nm, 830nm, 850nm (near-infrared light)—this therapy stimulates cellular repair, boosts collagen production, and reduces inflammation. Here’s how it works and why it’s beneficial for your skin.
Boosts Collagen & Elastin Production
Wavelengths like 630nm and 660nm penetrate the skin’s upper layers, stimulating fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis. Increased collagen reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Reduces Inflammation & Redness
660nm and 810nm light have anti-inflammatory effects, making them ideal for treating acne, rosacea, and eczema. They calm irritated skin and accelerate healing.
Enhances Wound Healing & Repair
Near-infrared wavelengths (810nm, 830nm, 850nm) reach deeper tissues, promoting cellular energy (ATP) production. This speeds up skin repair, reduces scarring, and improves overall texture.
Fights Acne & Bacteria
630nm light has been shown to reduce acne-causing bacteria while decreasing excess sebum production, leading to clearer skin.
Improves Circulation & Skin Tone
Red and near-infrared light enhance blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. This results in a healthier, more radiant complexion.
Frequency: 3-5 sessions per week (10-20 minutes per session).
Consistency: Visible improvements typically appear after 4-6 weeks.
Safety: RLT is pain-free and has no known side effects when used correctly.
Red light therapy is a science-backed, non-invasive solution for youthful, glowing skin. Whether you target 630nm for acne, 660nm for anti-aging, or 810nm–850nm for deep repair, consistent use can transform your skin’s health.
