It is well known that natural light is essential for our health. Our skin is not only receptive but has an intrinsic mechanism to utilize it to furnish the body’s requirements to function properly. The use of red light as therapy has recently been growing in popularity in the skincare industry, and not without good reason. Newer research has shown how this modality provides benefits to skin [1] and hair growth [2]. The effects are not just limited to ‘looking good’ but also curing a number of dermatological problems that can interfere with one’s appearance, including acne, scars, wrinkles, and even burns [3].
On top of that, red light therapy doesn’t destroy the skin on application owing to its regenerative properties. Our skin and hair have cells known as fibroblasts and keratinocytes, respectively. The former produces collagen, a building material that keeps our skin flexible, while the latter makes up the structure of hair. We lose a lot of these cells as we grow older, but red light directly stimulates these cells and causes their increased proliferation.This is how the anti-ageing effect is achieved!
Even more impressive are the effects on stem cells, which give birth to all the aforementioned cells. Additionally, red light stimulates an organelle in our skin known as mitochondria, which acts as a ‘powerhouse’ of a cell and provides energy to run cellular functions, thereby keeping it alive. As a cherry on top, red light increases blood circulation in the skin, giving you not only that 'glow' but also making you feel good.
When compared to conventional laser treatments, red light therapy shows better outcomes than ablative/non-ablative light therapy and eschews all the side effects while being more economical in the long run.
