Red light therapy (RLT) is a therapeutic technique that uses low level wavelengths of red light to help treat skin conditions, such as wrinkles and psoriasis. It is an emerging treatment that is showing promise in treating wrinkles, redness, acne, scars, and other signs of aging. Some of the benefits of RLT include:
-
Promoting wound healing and tissue repair: RLT has been shown to increase circulation and ATP production throughout the body, which may help speed healing during times of illness. It also stimulates lymph system activity and phagocytosis, the process of cells cleaning.
-
Reducing pain and inflammation: RLT has been shown to reduce inflammation or edema, and it is a potentially effective treatment for pain in people with certain conditions.
-
Treating skin issues: RLT may help treat skin issues, like stretch marks and wrinkles, and skin conditions, such as psoriasis, scars, and acne.
-
Repairing muscle tissues: RLT has been shown to help repair muscle tissues.
-
Promoting healthy aging: RLT has been shown to diminish the look of scars and signs of aging, leaving clients with an overall smoother skin texture.
However, more clinical research is needed to fully support its claimed benefits. Some possible negative effects of ingredients used in RLT include blocking the pores and preventing the skin from breathing. It is important to speak with a doctor before starting any treatment, and you may need several treatments before noticing any difference in your body.
