Our Services: Red Light Collagen Therapy

WHAT IS RED LIGHT COLLAGEN THERAPY?

Red Light Collagen Therapy is quickly becoming the safest, fastest, most painless AND most affordable way to achieve vibrant, younger-looking skin.  Collagen and elastin are crucial proteins within the skin that form the intricate structure for healthy looking skin.  They give your skin bounce, resilience, structure, and keep your skin looking youthful. 

Your skin is continually under attack from outside forces such as sun exposure, toxins, chemicals, and free radicals and unfortunately as you age collagen production slows way down.  The combination of these factors causes your collagen to break down and become brittle resulting in lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.  A strong and healthy production of collagen keeps your skin looking and acting younger, smoother, and healthier.

Originally developed by NASA to improve wound healing and tissue growth in space, as well as help tired, fatigued astronauts on their return to earth, Red Light Therapy is photo bio-stimulation via exposure to lights in the red and infrared wavelength, which heals, repairs, and stimulates collagen and elastin production. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

In wavelengths between 630-660 nanometers, red light and infrared light have the ability to penetrate deep into the layers of your skin.  Once the wavelengths have permeated the skin, they energize cells, heal and repair damage, rejuvenate, renew, and boost collagen and elastin production. 

A unique cell called the fibroblast is responsible for creating collagen and is vital for a healthy production of this protein.  As the light permeates and seeps into your skin, blood, and tissue, it ignites an energetic process that wakes up your cells and proteins

Because skin has a high content of blood and water, the red light wavelengths are readily absorbed and provide the necessary energy to kick-start the fibroblasts and promote strong, beautifully healthy skin.  The result is more collagen and elastin, meaning firmer, younger-looking skin, and more capillaries, which means better circulation, increased wound-healing, and scar tissue reduction.

WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?

For anti-aging benefits and deep skin rejuvenation, red light therapy is suitable for everyone.  It is particularly beneficial for people over the age of 25.  At this age, the body gradually loses the ability to make youthful collagen, hence our appearance starts to age.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
Results vary depending on your skin type and age.  However, the following is a guideline for the frequency of exposure and corresponding expected results:
