Red Light Therapy is a process of emitting light wavelengths through the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing and regeneration processes. Red light therapy has been making waves in health and wellness as a natural treatment for a variety of skin conditions. Harnessing the cell-stimulating and anti-inflammatory effects of red, blue, and NIR wavelengths together, along with the collagen-boosting effects of red/NIR light therapy can lead to incredible results. Red light therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production and circulation while reducing inflammation. This can turn back the clock on skin with sun damage such as sun spots.
