Benefits of Red Light Therapy

If you’re like us, you’ve probably tried countless different anti-aging products over the years and wasted hundreds of dollars. The good news is that a relatively new technology called red light therapy has actually been proven to have safe anti-aging effects on the skin and body. At Avanti Body in Vacaville, CA, we are passionate about the benefits of red light therapy and all the ways it can improve your body and your life. 

What is Red Light Therapy? 

For a more detailed answer to this question, check out our previous blog post. But the short answer is this: light therapy delivers safe, concentrated wavelengths of light to your body cells naturally. This means it doesn’t use chemicals, UV rays, or heat. These red and near infrared wavelengths of light stimulate the mitochondria of your body, similar to the way sunlight stimulates them. The mitochondria that are part of each cell in your body are often called the powerhouses of the cells because they create the energy your body needs to perform all of its functions. Red light therapy allows your mitochondria to create energy more efficiently throughout your body. 

How Does it Help Your Skin? 

  • Stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. Seventy percent of our skin is made of collagen, which is the main component of the dermis layer. Collagen is what gives our skin elasticity. It also makes our skin appear firm and supple, or in a word: youthful. Collagen production begins declining in our twenties, and by age 60, collagen production can decrease by as much as 75%! This decrease is what leads to lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Studies have shown higher levels of collagen in research participants who have received near infrared light therapy. The increased production of collagen will smooth out lines and wrinkles, smooth the overall texture of the skin, and it can even reduce pore size over time. Collagen cells grow slowly, so with some patience you can expect to notice results after about three months of consistent treatment.
  • Increases circulation and the formation of new capillaries. As new capillaries form they bring more oxygen and nutrients to each skin cell every day. This gives the skin an instant glow that makes it look healthy and youthful. 
  • Increases lymphatic system activity. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that the body uses to get rid of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. With the increased circulation that red light therapy creates, swelling and puffiness are reduced. This is because the lymph system is better able to remove excess fluids and toxins from skin cells. It also makes the skin less puffy over time as the lymph system becomes more efficient, resulting in long-term healthier skin. 
  • Stimulates the mitochondria. As we mentioned earlier, mitochondria create ATP (cellular energy). The extra energy created by stimulating the mitochondria through red light therapy allows the body to repair, detoxify, heal, rejuvenate, and on the whole, function at a more optimal level.
