Red LED for light therapy you need to know

  • What causes aging?
The aging of human skin is affected by numerous factors. As a result of internal and external factors, the skin changes constantly from infancy to adulthood. Structural and functional changes occur within the dermis layer. The dermis layer is the supporting layer and the epidermis is the outer visible layer of skin. The skin’s metabolism and natural functions start declining from the age of 25. Aging means that the cells of our skin are unable to replenish themselves properly and over time the skin’s natural protective external barrier to defend against bacteria is weakened. This results in a dry complexion, wrinkles, sensitive skin, and loss of skin elasticity. After the age of 45, the skin will start to become thinner – making it more vulnerable to damage caused by environmental factors. Research studies, by many experts, and dermatologists indicate that red light emitted by LEDs stimulates and activates the production of collagen and elastin. These are the main proteins that contribute to our skin’s elasticity, texture, and tone.
 
  • What can I expect from the use of Red LEDs?
Based on research, red LEDs may improve skin tone and texture, control pigmentation spots, help reduce pore size, encourage vibrant-looking skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The red LED also stimulates blood circulation and repairs elastin fibers within.
 
  
  • Is red LED safe?
Using red light emitted from therapy lamps is one of the few methodologies that gently and harmlessly reduces the signs of aging. Red lamps are free from ultraviolet light and are considered pain-free – no healing or downtime is involved. Invasive anti-aging procedures such as microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and other injections, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing can have serious side effects. When using red light therapy lamps, a physician should be consulted if light-sensitive medication is prescribed or if the consumer suffers from increased sensitivity to light. Some people may also experience brief warmth (“glow”) following the use of red LEDs. Finally, as with all other technologies, red light cannot be used indiscriminately with other products that may cause side effects.
 
 
  • Are there any precautions needed when using red light LEDs?
We recommend the use of protective eyewear specially designed to reduce the level of brightness. We also suggest consulting with your cosmetic expert or directly contacting the manufacturer of your red LED light device. Each unit is unique depending on the number, wattage, and density of lamps in the system. People with the following conditions should avoid exposure to LED red light:
 
if you are photo-allergic or take medication or use cosmetics that may cause light sensitivity
if you suffer from porphyria
if you suffer from epilepsy
if you take cortisone or steroid injections
 
 
  • How does red light emit from LEDs penetrate the skin?
Studies have shown that visible red light penetrates the bottom of the dermis down to the fatty layer and it also has beneficial anti-inflammatory properties. While red light stimulates the skin’s ability to produce collagen and elastin, it also increases oxygen and nutrients. Red light in the visible light spectra between 600nm and 700nm also stimulates the skin cell’s vitality and permeability. Laboratory studies have shown that skin cells grow up to 150 to 200% faster and deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue when exposed to certain light wavelengths.
 
 
 
 
  • How does using red LED light differ from laser treatments?
Red light is non-invasive, natural, pain-free, and does not cut, burn, or break the skin as do laser treatments. There is also no downtime. Ablative lasers use heat and concentrated light to vaporize or remove tissue. Red LED therapy produces no vaporization or burning of tissue and therefore no inflammation or burning. Research has shown that using red LED lamps is one of the few available non-invasive “tools” that work naturally to alleviate the appearance of aging skin, such as wrinkles and mottled skin tone.
