How does Red Light Therapy work?
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 work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, specific cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.
Red light therapy may work in skin health to:
-
Stimulate collagen production, giving skin 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.
