Red LED light therapy
What is red light therapy?
Red LED light therapy (633 nm) is a safe, effective, and natural treatment option for skin rejuvenation. Backed by a strong base of peer-reviewed clinical research, red light treatments improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and boost collagen production for both men and women. This makes it an ideal solution for achieving smoother, youthful-looking skin.
Penetrates skin more deeply than the other wavelengths and helps improve more advanced signs of aging. Used to treat everything from pigmentation and acne, to rosacea, hair loss and uneven skin tone. Red LED light therapy adds maximum power to any skin rejuvenation treatment.
How does it work?
Just as plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, humans use various wavelength colors to trigger natural reactions in the skin. Each color penetrates the skin at different depths, producing unique effects.
LED light therapy is most widely recognized for boosting collagen production and diminishing wrinkles, a benefit primarily linked to the power of red light therapy. Find all the benefits listed below.
Benefits of red light therapy
Boosts collagen
Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to firm and lift skin. Diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
Increases firmness
By providing structure and support, helping to tighten the skin and reduce sagging, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Improves wrinkles
By boosting collagen, red light therapy smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, improving overall skin texture.
Better skin tone
Increases blood flow, helping to even out skin tone and reduce redness.
Speeds up healing
It promotes cell regeneration, accelerating the healing of wounds, scars, and blemishes.
Stimulates hair follicles
Promotes cellular activity in hair follicles, which can reactivate dormant follicles and stimulate new hair growth.
Reduces redness
By calming inflammation and improving blood flow. It helps repair damaged skin cells, strengthens weak capillaries, and reduces irritation.
Hydrates skin
Enhances the skin's barrier function, improving its ability to retain moisture. This results in plumper, more hydrated skin.

Frequently asked questions
DO RED LIGHT MASKS ACTUALLY WORK?
Yes, red light masks are effective. They use low-level wavelengths of red or near-infrared light that penetrate the skin, helping to stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture.
DOES IT HELP WITH WRINKLES?
Red light therapy is beneficial for a variety of skin concerns, including reducing wrinkles, improving skin tone, stimulating collagen production, healing acne scars, promoting hair growth, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall skin health.
DOES RED LIGHT THERAPY WORK FOR HAIR LOSS?
Yes, red light therapy has been shown to stimulate hair follicles, increase blood circulation to the scalp, and promote hair growth, making it a popular treatment for hair loss, especially for androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness).
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DO RED LIGHT THERAPY?
For optimal results, red light therapy is typically done 3-5 times a week. The exact frequency can depend on the device you're using and the specific treatment goals.
DOES IT HURT TO USE?
No, red light therapy is completely painless. You may feel warmth from the light, but there should be no discomfort or pain during the treatment.
HOW LONG SHOULD YOU DO RED LIGHT THERAPY?
Each session typically lasts between 10-15 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the device used.
DOES RED LIGHT THERAPY TIGHTEN SKIN?
Yes, red light therapy can help tighten the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which improves skin elasticity and reduces sagging over time.
DOES RED LIGHT HELP WITH ACNE?
Yes, red light therapy can help with acne by reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and targeting acne-causing bacteria. It can also assist in healing scars left by previous breakouts.
IS RED LIGHT THERAPY SAFE DURING PREGNANCY?
While red light therapy is non-invasive and generally considered safe, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using it during pregnancy, just to be cautious.
HOW DEEP DOES RED LIGHT THERAPY PENETRATE?
Red light therapy penetrates the deepest into the skin, reaching a depth of 8-10 millimeters, where it stimulates the dermis to produce collagen and elastin.
WHAT IS THE LED FREQUENCY WAVELENGTH OF THE RED LIGHT THERAPY?
The LED frequency wavelength of red light therapy typically falls within the range of 600 to 650 nanometers (nm). This wavelength range is considered optimal for penetrating the skin and stimulating cellular processes such as collagen production.
DOES IT STIMULATE COLLAGEN?
Red light therapy stimulates collagen production by using specific wavelengths of light, typically between 600 and 650 nanometers, which penetrate the skin’s surface. When the red light is absorbed by the skin, it reaches deeper layers, where it activates fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
