We smear, scrub and mask a lot in our lives, all in the hope of a healthy, radiant skin. But did you know that you can also improve your skin from the inside out, without creams or needles?
Red light therapy makes this possible: a natural, safe and effective way to strengthen your skin.
In this blog you will discover what red light therapy does for your face, why it works, and how you can easily incorporate it into your skin care routine.
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that exposes your skin to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light.
The most commonly used wavelengths are around 660 nanometers (red light) and 850 nanometers (near infrared).
During a session you will feel a soft, warm glow on your skin. But there is more going on beneath the surface:
Your skin cells, especially the mitochondria (the energy factories of your cells), absorb the light.
This process, called photobiomodulation , enhances cell activity and stimulates natural healing and rejuvenation.
What does red light therapy do for your face?
Red light therapy offers multiple benefits for your facial skin. Here are the main effects:
1. Increase collagen production
Collagen is essential for firm, elastic skin.
As we age, natural production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging.
Red light stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen, making the skin firmer and smoother.
Result: fewer fine lines and a more youthful appearance.
2. Improve blood circulation
Red light stimulates the formation of new capillaries in the skin.
This ensures a better supply of oxygen and nutrients, and a more efficient removal of waste products.
Improved blood circulation gives your skin a fresher complexion and promotes natural recovery.
3. Reduce inflammation
Many skin problems, such as acne, rosacea and eczema, are the result of inflammation.
Red light has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps reduce redness, swelling and irritation.
This makes red light therapy ideal for people with sensitive or problem skin.
4. Accelerate skin recovery
Damaged skin, scars and pigment spots heal faster under the influence of red light.
The therapy stimulates the production of new skin cells and supports the natural healing process.
Even after intensive facial treatments, such as peels or microneedling, red light can significantly shorten recovery time.
5. Regulate sebum production
Excessive sebum production contributes to acne and oily skin.
Red light helps to balance the sebaceous glands, making the skin calmer and less likely to develop pimples.
Is red light therapy safe for daily use?
Yes, red light therapy is safe for daily or frequent use as long as you use a good quality device.
No harmful UV light is used, so there is no risk of skin damage or pigment spots.
Most people experience red light as relaxing and calming.
In addition, the treatment is suitable for almost all skin types, including sensitive skin.
After treatments such as peels, microneedling or laser, red light therapy can even accelerate the skin's recovery.
How to use red light therapy in your skin care routine?
Applying red light therapy at home is easy. Follow these steps for optimal results:
-
Cleanse your face thoroughly. Clean skin absorbs light better.
-
Place the red light device between 15-40 centimeters from your face.
-
Let the light shine on your skin for 10 to 20 minutes. Relax and let the light do its work.
- Repeat this treatment at least 4 times a week for best results.
You do not need to use any creams or serums during the treatment.
Simply lighten up, relax, and your skin will be strengthened from within.
