Red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation skin therapy, which uses red or near-infrared LED light to stimulate natural cellular processes in the skin.
When this light reaches the skin’s deeper layers, it enhances circulation, increases cellular energy (ATP), and triggers repair mechanisms, resulting in brighter, firmer, and healthier-looking skin over time.
It is frequently used to treat a wide range of dermatological conditions, including:
Photobiomodulation refers to the way specific light wavelengths (usually between 600–900 nm) interact with cells to increase energy and healing. In red light therapy, these wavelengths stimulate the mitochondria—our cells’ energy centers, boosting collagen synthesis and reducing oxidative stress.
The result is healthier, more resilient skin with improved tone, texture, and clarity.
Red light therapy is suitable for most individuals and can be customized for both medical and cosmetic concerns. It’s especially beneficial for:
Because it is heat-free and pain-free, red light therapy is also ideal for patients who cannot tolerate stronger lasers or peels.
Compared to treatments like laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, or XTRAC lasers, red light therapy offers a gentler alternative for improving skin tone and reducing inflammation.
Key differences include:
This makes it a versatile option for both short-term glow and long-term skin health.
A typical red light therapy session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.
You’ll rest comfortably while a panel of LED lights is positioned close to the treatment area. The light is bright but not hot, and most patients describe the experience as soothing.
You may need a series of treatments for best results, depending on your skin condition and goals. Red light therapy is often paired with other services for enhanced outcomes.
The cost of red light therapy depends on the number of sessions, the size of the treatment area, and whether it is combined with other therapies.
