Red Light Therapy For Health
So, you’ve heard of red light therapy but you aren’t sure what it is. This will help. What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy involves the use of safe, gentle, and effective red light wavelengths to naturally stimulate the body’s production of collagen. This, in turn, helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and scars and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Why would I want that? When you’re under 25 years of age, your body produces collagen to keep your skin firm. Once you pass that age your body’s collagen production starts to diminish drastically. In your late twenties, you start to see lines coming in where there were none before. Especially in areas where your skin is very thin, around the eyes and the forehead, etc.
Who is it for? Red light therapy can be used on all skin types and by anyone interested in reducing wrinkles and improving skin tone.
Why use it? Red light therapy is an alternative for anyone who’s not interested in needles or surgery to improve their skin’s appearance.
How often should I use it? Red light therapy should be used three to four times a week to achieve the best results. Using red-light therapy several times in one day will not give you better results. Think of red light therapy and your skin the same as you would a house plant and watering. If the plant requires a gallon per week, you wouldn’t pour the entire gallon on it at once because it won’t absorb all of it in one session. The best way to maximize the effects of the therapy is by using “Salon Quality” skincare products specifically formulated for red light therapy.
How much does it cost? South Beach Tanning Company has memberships for as low as $39.99 monthly. They have two red light therapy units. The Poly Pro treats your face and neck area while you relax in a massage chair and the KBL Pure Beauty, which treats the entire body has an innovative vibration plate that firms and tones muscles, reduces the appearance of cellulite, and increases circulation.
