Say Goodbye to Dull Skin: 15 Reasons Why Red Light Therapy Can Lead To Your Ultimate Glow Up

Red Light Therapy (RLT), using low-wavelength red light to enhance skin, is a rising beauty trend with a 262% global search increase. It stimulates mitochondria production in skin cells, aiding in healing and growth.

Enhancing Circulation

According to Healthline, RLT may improve circulation by making new capillaries, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a natural glow.

Skin Detoxification

Red light therapy promotes detoxification. By increasing blood flow, it removes skin-layer toxins for a clearer, radiant skin surface. Toxin removal often improves skin health & appearance.

Preventing sunburn

It's time to consider UV protection for summer. Besides sunscreen, regular red light therapy helps avoid sunburn, as shown by 'LED Photoprevention' research. Experts from Fresha say red and near-infrared light prepare skin for UV radiation, reducing redness and hyperpigmentation like SPF15 does, preventing sunspots and skin cell damage.

Sun Damage Repair

Red and near-infrared light prepares skin for UV radiation and may reverse signs of sun damage. It promotes tissue repair, diminishes sun spots and photoaging for even skin tone and glow.

Reducing inflammation

Sun exposure can worsen skin conditions like eczema & psoriasis due to heat & sweat. This causes itching & flaking. According to dermatologist Elizabeth H. Page, red light therapy’s anti-inflammatory properties can alleviate these symptoms.

Enhancing Moisture Retention

Red light therapy potentially improves skin hydration, enabling better moisture retention for a plumper look. This makes skin light-reflective, creating a natural, healthy glow.

Reducing wrinkles

Red light therapy battles premature aging and sun damage by boosting collagen production. Gitnux research shows it can reduce wrinkles by 36% over ten weeks. It promotes skin strength, elasticity, and hydration, lessening fine lines.

Wound Healing

According to the NCBI, red light therapy boosts skin healing, improving texture and luminosity.

Improving scarring

Red light therapy can speed up wound healing and soften scars, including acne and keloid scars, by boosting collagen production. Sunscreen is still advised to protect against scar discoloration.

Treating Acne

Red light therapy can manage acne by reducing inflammation and acting as antibacterial treatment, leading to lesser breakouts, reduced acne scars, and more radiant skin complexion.

Pore Size Reduction

Red light therapy reduces pore visibility by improving skin texture and elasticity, resulting in a smoother skin surface and enhanced overall skin texture.

Promote hair growth

On average, 50-100 hair strands fall out daily. More hair loss in summer can be due to buildup of dirt and sweat. Research shows red light therapy boosts circulation and encourages hair growth, especially for alopecia sufferers.

Promoting Antioxidant Activity

NCBI suggests RLT promotes skin's antioxidant activity, protecting against oxidative stress and free radical damage, helping maintain skin integrity and glow.

Enhancing Skin Barrier Function

The skin's barrier defends against environmental harm and stays hydrated. NCBI suggests that red light therapy strengthens this barrier for healthy, luminous skin.

Enhancing Product Absorption

Red light therapy could increase skin permeability, enhancing skincare product effectiveness. It could lead to better absorption of ingredients, improved nourishment and a radiant glow.
