"Red light therapy or photobiomodulation works by delivering red and near infrared light into your skin. These wavelengths penetrate deep enough to reach your mitochondria. When mitochondria absorb red light, they produce more ATP, which is cellular energy. So with more energy, there's better repair, better regeneration. That results in things like younger skin, healthier joints, better functioning muscles, better circulation in your scalp to potentially promote hair growth. Studies with red light therapy show increases in collagen, elastin, and circulation, which means firmer, smoother, brighter skin."

Studies with red light therapy show increases in collagen, elastin, and circulation, which means firmer, smoother, brighter skin. And here's the kicker. It does all this without causing damage, unlike potentially with lasers or peels. I personally recommend masks or handheld wands that emit light at the wavelength between 630 to 660. For skin rejuvenation, we focus a lot of between like 630 and 633, although some great devices use between 640 and 660. And then when it comes to infrared, we're getting closer to like that 850 nanometer range. For skin rejuvenation, you want to aim for about 5 to 15 minutes per session. We do recommend like three to five sessions per week. The lights should feel warm, but definitely not hot. And yes, eye protection is super important. One study showed an 86% reduction in crows feet wrinkles after 12 weeks of just 9 minutes a day."
"Red light therapy is something that I have personally incorporated into my routine over the last three or four years and I have certainly noticed a difference. I've noticed that I have needed less Botox. Red light therapy has been definitely a great supplement to my skin routine. It is safe for all skin tones, but if you have melasma or very sensitive skin, you want to start slow. Melasma is related to increased oxidative stress in the skin. If you have better functioning cells, better repair and regeneration, you can theoretically improve melasma. A lot of people do report improvement with melasma. But you want to be careful because melasma is very light sensitive. If you look for the specific nanometer wavelength between the 630s range, it should not affect melasma, but you want to make sure that you're not using a device that is emitting a lot of heat because heat definitely can make melasma worse. Please avoid direct eye exposure. If you're pregnant or if you have light sensitivity or if you're on meds that can increase light sensitivity, you should talk to your doctor first. Red light is nonionizing, so that means it won't damage your DNA or burn your skin. More isn't better. Overuse might reduce the benefits or irritate your skin."

"I'm a huge fan of red light therapy because honestly this is one of the few things that you can do at home safely and that works. It's believed that the energy of red light therapy is transferred to the mitochondria of your cells causing them to create more ATP. Now mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells and as we get older our mitochondria don't function as efficiently, they're not these great powerhouses anymore, and so the idea behind red light therapy is that the energy from that red light will help to power those mitochondria that can essentially energize your cells, cause them to act and function as if they're more youthful. There are studies that look at red light therapy and they've actually taken split face studies where they have treated one side of the face with a sham laser and the other side with red light therapy and found a significant increase in the collagen and the elastin in the side that was treated with red light therapy. They've also seen an improvement in fine lines and the overall fullness of the skin afterwards."
