Red Light Therapy for Face: Benefits, Side Effects & Uses. Face Mask, Do They Work?

Red Light Therapy is a technology that uses light waves of a specific wavelength to stimulate cellular processes, promoting wellness and healing. 

This revolutionary type of therapy seems to generate some skepticism in people when they first hear about it because Red Light seems unbelievable after you know all the beneficial effects it can bring to your life...

Yet there are a myriad of medical and scientific studies that prove its actual effectiveness...

So the answer is yes!

YES, RLT is a natural, non-invasive and effective technology to treat many medical and pathological conditions.

To learn in more detail what major conditions Red Light can treat and cure, take a look at our interesting article "What is Red Light Therapy Useful for?".

Has your husband or children ever told you that you are getting old? 

Yes I know, it is not the best when you actually realize that age is advancing even though inside you still feel like a teenager sometimes…

According to some studies, the part of the body where you most notice the advance of age is the face.

In fact, the first signs of aging are characterized by increasingly thin and fragile skin that is dry to the touch, with bags under the eyes and the ever present wrinkles...

Surely to counter these effects of aging you have already tried anti-wrinkle creams, sunscreens, exfoliants but also serums based on hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to moisturize, brighten and stimulate collagen production…

But these remedies very often contain ingredients such as peptides, antioxidants and retinol or other ingredients that are otherwise not natural but artificially produced in a laboratory that can damage the nature of your skin. 

Alternatively, you can resort to more professional treatments such as botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels or Microdermabrasion and lasers however these too are artificial solutions to counter aging, not to mention the fact that they can involve invasive and expensive surgeries…

What if I told you that there is a natural and effective way to fight facial skin aging? 

Yes you got it right…

 

We are actually talking about RLT...

Which thanks to its working principle can firm, plump and elasticize the skin on your face!

As you may have already read in our other article "How Red Light Therapy Works?" you know that Red Light goes to raise the energy state of the mitochondrion which is the beating heart present in all the cells of your body.

Due to this as Dr. Tiffany J. Libby writes in an article released to CNN [1] explains

"By improving cellular function, Red Light therapy has been shown to increase the production of collagen [and] help with skin tone and texture as well as fine lines and wrinkles"

It is simple to understand that if the cells are functioning better then they are able to work more efficiently and therefore the facial cells are able to stimulate new cell growth, repairing the skin and improving skin rejuvenation...

At the microscopic level, the wavelengths that are emitted by the RLT device promote the production of fibroplasts on the face, which are directly responsible for collagen production…

Collagen is part of the connective tissue that makes up the skin and so more collagen means a stronger skin, more elastic and that glows!

If you still don't believe it, here is another medical study where Dr. Kelly writes in an article written in Forbes [2],

"It has been used to address signs of aging and skin damage, such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots by stimulating collagen production."

Red Light Therapy to date is promoted as a treatment for some common skin conditions, including:

• Improving wound healing.
• Reducing stretch marks
• Reduce wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
• Improve facial texture.
• Improve psoriasis, rosacea and eczema.
• Improve scars.
• Improve sun-damaged skin.
• Improve hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia.
• Improve acne.

So if you, too, in the morning in front of the mirror wish to get back your skin as strong and supple as when you were in your twenties now you know how!

RLT can definitely be your ally that together with a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, proper hydration and the right hours of sleep can definitely help you firm up and make your skin as juicy as it once was!
