If you’re interested in learning more about Red Light Therapy and what it can do for you, this overview will provide valuable insight into this beneficial treatment. Read on to discover what RLT can do for you.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy uses red, near-infrared, and sometimes blue light energy to stimulate cell regeneration. Using low level wavelengths, RLT is gentle yet effective. It penetrates the skin to reach several layers of tissue. The cells absorb the light energy, which accelerates cellular repair. This rejuvenation process offers a wide variety of benefits for your health and appearance.
Uses for Red Light Therapy
- Facial esthetics. RLT can stimulate cell regeneration to smooth wrinkles and tighten loose skin. It also helps boost the natural production of collagen.
- Jaw contouring. For sculpting purposes, RLT can reduce fat cells in various areas of the body where it tends to accumulate, such as the jaw and neck. This can help slim the face and reduce the appearance of jowls.
- Acne. The blue light in RLT eliminates bacteria that causes acne, and the red light reduces inflammation and accelerates healing.
- Pain. RLT stimulates healing and reduces inflammation in the muscles and other tissues to treat pain. It also helps increase circulation to treated areas, which helps speed up the healing process.
- Hair restoration. The regenerative capabilities of RLT can stimulate hair growth for both men and women.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
