RLT Increases Collagen + Repairs Skin

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red light to improve the health and appearance of the skin.\

It is thought to work by acting on the "power plant" in your body's cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation.

More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work. Red light therapy increases collagen production by:

Stimulating fibroblast production: Fibroblasts are cells that produce collagen. Red light therapy increases fibroblast production, which makes collagen.

Increasing expression of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid: Treatment of human skin cells with low-level red and infrared LED lights were found to significantly increase hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS2) and elastin (ELN).

Increasing total soluble collagen: Infrared radiation increased the amount of total soluble collagen and soluble elastin in fibroblasts.

Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin: Red light therapy penetrates the skin at a cellular level and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for healthy skin.

Red light therapy has been shown to increase natural collagen levels without side effects. 

It is an emerging treatment that holds a lot of promise
