What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses LED light wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity, boost collagen, improve circulation, and promote overall skin and body wellness.
How does Red Light Therapy work?
Using a PDT (Photodynamic LED Red Light Therapy) Photon Mask, different light wavelengths (red, blue, yellow, and infrared) penetrate the skin at various depths. Each wavelength provides unique benefits—from reducing wrinkles to combating acne-causing bacteria and even supporting muscle recovery.
What are the benefits of each Red Light Therapy color?
-
Red Light: Stimulates collagen, reduces fine lines, improves circulation, supports muscle recovery.
-
Blue Light: Fights acne bacteria, calms irritation, improves skin clarity.
-
Yellow Light: Reduces redness, improves circulation, promotes relaxation and toxin removal.
-
Infrared Light: Penetrates deeply to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and aid in workout recovery.
Is Red Light Therapy safe?
Yes! This treatment is FDA-cleared for skin rejuvenation and acne therapy. It is safe for all skin types, painless, and requires no recovery time.
How long does a Red Light Therapy session take?
Each session lasts about 20 minutes. It’s quick, comfortable, and can easily be added to your self-care or skincare routine.
Is there any downtime with Red Light Therapy?
Nope! You can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment—no downtime, no redness, just refreshed skin and improved wellness.
How many sessions do I need to see results?
Results vary by individual and treatment goals. Many clients notice improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity after just a few sessions, with best results seen after consistent treatments.
Can Red Light Therapy help with more than just skin?
Yes! While it’s highly effective for anti-aging and acne, Red Light Therapy also supports muscle recovery, reduces inflammation, and can promote relaxation and mental well-being.
Who is a good candidate for Red Light Therapy?
Anyone looking to improve skin appearance, reduce acne, minimize fine lines, or support whole-body wellness can benefit. It’s safe for most people, though we recommend consulting with our providers if you have specific medical concerns.
