Red light therapy beds are very good at improving different parts of your skin. They target and stimulate skin cells, which makes them a popular, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of skin concerns. Here’s how they work and the specific benefits they offer for the skin:
How Red Light Therapy Works for SkinLight Penetration: Red light (600–700 nm) goes into the surface of the skin, while near-infrared light (700–900 nm) reaches deeper layers.
Cell Stimulation: The light energises the cells’ energy centres (mitochondria), increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which fuels the repair and regeneration of cells.
Increased blood flow: improves circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin for faster healing and rejuvenation.
The benefits of red light therapy for the skin include:
