Those who have spent any time with me either getting a facial treatment, following me on social media or honestly on any given day know light therapy (RLT) is an ever emerging dermatological treatment that has become increasingly popular as a treatment for skin conditions and as an anti-aging remedy.

RLT is the application of red and near-infrared light to the surface of the skin and is believed to stimulate the production of new blood vessels, in--

which help reduce irritation, redness and pain associated with these conditions. Additionally, RLT -

production is decreased, which occurs with age and sun damage, it can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of aging. Research has shown collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Red light therapy can also be used to treat skin damage caused by the sun, as well as other environmental factors. RLT has been shown to increase the production of melanin, the pigment that provides skin its color and helps protect it from the sun ’ s ultraviolet (UV) rays.
