Is Red Light Therapy the Holy Grail of Skin Care? What do Kate Hudson, Emma Stone, Kourtney Kardashian, and Chrissy Teigen have in common? Flawless skin and a love for red light therapy! While sitting under a glowing red lamp or wearing a robot-like mask may feel silly, countless celebrities have shared their red light therapy journey. Before you add red light devices to your virtual cart, you should learn how this unique skincare treatment works and if it’s right for you. How Does It Work? Not just any red light will give you flawless skin, but low levels of red or near-infrared light (ranging from 620 to 750 nanometers), performs skin regeneration. How? Photobiomodulation is the process where skin responds to light wavelengths. Scientists have found that red light can penetrate the skin as deep as 6 millimeters below the surface and cause skin cells to work harder. This results in reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. If you’re still doubting the science behind red light therapy, then know that NASA was the first to discover the skin healing benefits of red light. The red light was first aboard a 1995 U.S. Spacelab mission for plant growth experiments. However, astronauts found that scratches quickly healed on their hands while tending to the plants. Nothing can heal in space, so NASA dedicated years of study to red light therapy. Now, we know that this form of light is proven to help skin rejuvenation!

All the Benefits of Red Light Therapy: Red light therapy is known to: • Boost collagen levels • Minimize wrinkles and fine lines • Treat acne • Heal scarring • Stimulate hair growth The advantages don’t stop there. Experts are still studying countless other positive effects. For instance, red light therapy may generate weight loss, promote brain health, treat injuries, and help those experiencing chronic pain. You can try red light therapy at medical offices, spas, tanning salons, or even your home! There are plenty of red light devices you can buy, and many are celebrity endorsed for those looking for that red carpet glow.
