Red Light Therapy
Here's how it works...Red light therapy penetrates your skin, sinking through the outer layer (epidermis) through the dermis, down to the fatty layer. Once it has reached that layer, the red light stimulates the skin cells. That's when the skin cells go back to their youthful purpose: producing plenty of collagen, elastin, and the other proteins that give young people such smooth, firm skin.
As our bodies age, our skin loses its ability to produce enough of these elements and that's why it develops unsightly sags, wrinkles, and dry patches. Red light therapy is essentially a time machine that takes skin back to it's adolescence. After a series of treatments, the skin regains its earlier luster leaving your skin looking young and toned. The collagen has been revitalized and the skin increases it's production of elastin which leads to smooth supple skin. The treatment is completely harmless and painless unlike any other cosmetic treatment that may promise similar results. By stimulating the growth of collagen and elastin, red light therapy will promote the skins natural cell activity. This means skin will look and feel softer, fine lines and wrinkles will be smoothed away and spots will fade. Customers have also reported healing of cracked heals, soothing of psoriasis, the reduction of acne and even cellulite. However, none of these claims have been medically proven, not yet at least.
The only draw back to red light therapy is the treatment time commitment. It takes 20 minutes 3 or 4 times a week for 10 - 12 weeks. After the desired effect has been achieved then it only requires once a week to maintain. It's like going to the gym. If you go in hoping to lose 20 pounds, you don't quit going after you've lost the weight. It's a commitment... you need to realize it is not an overnight cure. Those magical results take time. You will be disappointed if you think you are going to see results the next day. Although stretch marks respond quit well, typical results take 60 - 90 days.
Taking a "before" picture is highly recommended, especially a close up shot of the fine lines around eyes and mouth. We look at ourselves in the mirror all the time so the subtle differences just blend in. That's why a picture is so great. The bottom line is... this is a program that takes time and commitment. Nothing this good happens over night.
You need fresh clean skin. It is best to shower right before to remove all traces of moisturizers. By removing that extra layer of lotion on the surface of the skin, the light can penetrate more evenly and efficiently. If you don't have time to shower, be sure to wash your face, chest and hands right before doing the red light therapy.
Who shouldn't use red light therapy? People who have photo-sensitivity or those taking antibiotics or other medication that make them sensitive to light should not use red light therapy. It is also not recommended for women who are pregnant and any one suffering from epilepsy. All ages can benefit from red light therapy. Starting red light therapy before fine lines become deep wrinkles will mean a shorter commitment and speedier results. People rave how red light therapy has not only gotten rid of wrinkles and age spots but has healed their dry cracked heals, cleared up psoriasis and soothed persistent acne. The industry just doesn't know yet about everything red light therapy can do. Studies are now being done on inflammation and sports injuries.
Red light therapy is more than a moisturizer... it's a step back in time to the dewy days of youth.
