Red Light Therapy: How It Works and Why You Should Try It for Your Face

What is Red Light therapy?

Have you ever wondered about the secret behind that radiant glow some people seem to have?

As aesthetic professionals, we’ve seen many trends come and go. But red light therapy is one treatment that’s caught our attention. At Wellaholic, we’ve noticed more customers asking about this innovative approach to skincare. We’ve seen its effects on various skin types and conditions. Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin. It aims to improve skin health and appearance.

In this article, we’ll explain how it works and why it might be worth trying for your face. We’ll share our experience and insights from working with this technology at our clinics.

A Brief History of Red Light Therapy

We’ve seen the rise of red light therapy firsthand at Wellaholic. It’s amazing how far this technology has come since its early days. Back in the late 1800s, a Danish doctor named Niels Ryberg Finsen started using light to treat skin conditions. He even won a Nobel Prize for his work in 1903!

Fast forward to the 1960s, and we saw the birth of low-level laser therapy. This was a game-changer in the world of light treatments. At Wellaholic, we’ve noticed how our customers love the effects of these modern red light therapies. They often tell us about improvements in their skin and overall well-being. It’s exciting to think about how this technology will keep evolving in the future.

“Red Light Therapy helps to rejuvenate our cells, allowing them to work more efficiently and effectively.”

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

We’ve seen remarkable results with red light therapy at Wellaholic. This treatment uses low-level wavelengths of red light to target the skin and cells. The magic happens when the light penetrates the skin and reaches the mitochondria, our cells’ energy factories.

When the red light hits these tiny powerhouses, it boosts their energy production. This extra energy helps cells repair themselves faster and work better overall. We’ve noticed that our customers often report improved skin texture and reduced inflammation after a few sessions. It’s exciting to see how this simple, non-invasive treatment can make such a big difference in skin health and healing.

What are the Benefits of Red Light Therapy?

I have personally witnessed the amazing transformation that red light therapy can bring to both the health and appearance of the skin. When my clients consistently use our red light devices, they notice improved circulation that boosts collagen production. This leads to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Red light also reduces inflammation and promotes lymphatic drainage. I love how it helps detoxify the skin, reduce puffiness, and give my clients’ complexions a healthy glow. It’s a versatile treatment too – great for anti-ageing, soothing conditions like psoriasis, and more.

The results speak for themselves. With the right light and a regular treatment plan, my clients see noticeable changes quickly. Diminished wrinkles, a more even skin tone, an overall healthier look and feel. Red light therapy is a game-changer I recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade their skincare routine.

How Often Should Red Light Therapy Be Used for Optimal Results?

When my clients ask me how often they should use red light therapy for the best skin results, I usually recommend 3–5 sessions per week, 10–20 minutes each time. Consistency is key. Regular treatments allow the benefits to really kick in, whether it’s boosting collagen, reducing inflammation, or improving overall skin tone.

The great thing is, you can easily do this at home with a quality device. I suggest positioning the light about 6 inches away for treating issues like wrinkles and acne scars. For more general skin maintenance, 12–18 inches works well. And the cool thing is, the results are cumulative, so sticking with a routine is what really makes the difference.

Of course, everyone’s skin is unique, so it’s good to listen to your body too. Some people like daily sessions, others do better with just a few times a week. The key is making red light therapy a regular part of your skincare. When you do that, you’ll start seeing firmer, smoother, more radiant skin in the mirror.

How long does it take for Red Light therapy to work?

At Wellaholic, we’ve seen that the time it takes for red light therapy to show results can vary from person to person. Generally, our customers start noticing improvements after about 4 to 6 weeks of regular treatments. However, some people may see changes sooner, while others might need more time.

We always tell our customers that consistency is key. For the best results, we recommend 3 to 5 sessions per week, each lasting about 10 to 20 minutes. It’s important to keep in mind that red light therapy isn’t a quick fix. It works by gradually stimulating your body’s natural processes. So, while you might not see dramatic changes overnight, with patience and regular use, most people experience noticeable benefits over time.

Does Wellaholic offer Red Light Therapy?

We’re excited to share that at Wellaholic, we do offer Red Light Therapy as part of our LED Cell Regeneration Facial. This treatment is a key component of our WellaFacial Ultimate Anti-Ageing Facial package. We’ve seen amazing results with our customers, who love how it improves their skin’s elasticity and reduces blemishes.

We often recommend starting with 2-3 sessions per week for the first few months. After that, you can switch to weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Of course, we always tailor the treatment plan to each person’s unique needs. If you’re curious about trying Red Light Therapy, drop by any of our outlets and we’ll be happy to chat more about it!
