Red Light Collagen Therapy Q & A
First of all...Is your treatment for the face only?
A. Our Collagen Red Light Therapy treatments are a "head to toe" treatment, so you can work on a whole host of areas at once! No awkward hand-held devices...just relax and enjoy powerful therapeutic benefits of a full body treatment!
Q. What does the FDA say about the safety of Red Light?
A. According to the FDA, red light at 633nm has a "non-significant risk" and is completely safe for the eyes. We recommend that individuals with the following conditions should avoid exposure to red light devices.
- If you are photo-allergic or take medication or use cosmetics that may cause light sensitivity
- If you suffer from porphyria
- If you suffer from epilepsy
- If you take cortisone or steroid injections
Q. Does the red light equipment emit UV? Will it damage the skin?
A. Red Light treatment bed lamps utilize visible light at 633nm, but contains no UVA or UVB.
Q. What skin type does red light effectively treat?
A. Collagen Red Light Therapy is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. It is recommended that your skin be clean and you use a PH balancing product for effective light absorption.
Q. How does Red Light Therapy work?
A. As we age, we produce less collagen which results in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to thin, dry skin. Red Light Therapy penetrates deep into the dermis layer, stimulating cells that produce collagen. New collagen moves to the surface of the skin, reducing fine lines and winkles. The increase in collagen production smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also shown red light delivers powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue.
Q. What can you expect from Red Light Therapy treatments?
A. Your Red Light Treatment will improve skin tone and texture, including pigmentation/age spots, reduce pore size, aid in developing vibrant, healthier-looking skin, and reduce wrinkles. Anti-aging red light therapy stimulates circulation and repairs elastin fibers within tissue to help keep skin firm and supple.
Q. Does Red Light Therapy aid in recovery from sports injuries and wound healing?
A. Red Light Therapy offers athletes noninvasive treatment for soft tissue injuries, providing recovery and pain relief. NASA conducted research throughout the 2000s indicating that the red light stimulated energy production within cells, effectively providing enough fuel to boost tissue regeneration and accelerate the healing process. Red Light therapeutic equipment can aid in your recovery. We recommend you consult your physician. Research has shown that near-infrared light emitted from red light therapy acts as a catalyst on cytochrome oxidase, an enzyme that sends a signal to the mitochondria, structures within a cell that produce adenosine triphosphate. ATP provides the fuel each cell needs to power its biological processes, including regeneration and healing. As the red light penetrates the skin, continuously reaching the light-sensitive cytochrome oxidase within the body's cells, ATP production increases for the duration of the treatment, accelerating the recovery of injured tissue.
Q. Is there an age requirement?
A. This is not legal requirement. Parental guidance is suggested for younger individuals.
Q. How does Collagen Red Light Therapy differ from Laser Treatments?
A. Collagen Red Light Therapy is non-invasive, natural, pain free and does not cut, burn, or break the skin as do laser treatments. Red Light Therapy also does not have any downtime or recovery after treatment. Abrasive lasers use heat and concentrated light to vaporize or remove tissue. Collagen Red Light Therapy lamps produce no vaporization or burning of tissue and therefore no inflammation or burning. Research has shown that using collagen red light therapy lamps is one of the few available non-invasive tools that work naturally to alleviate the appearance of aging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, Rosacea and mottled skin tone.
Q. Does Red Light Therapy treat acute and chronic pain?
A. Red Light Therapy can offer a surgery and drug free alternative to relieve pain, aches and vastly speed up any healing processes. Red Light devices have been in use in several clinical trials and shows great promise as a treatment in healing bone marrow transplant patients and has also been found to offer some relief for cancer patients as well. Red Light Therapy penetrates deep into skin, tissue, muscle and joints. Even bones where the red light stimulate healing and repairative processes. This process provides the following benefits.
- Increases circulation and boosts the formation of capillaries which deliver more oxygen throughout the body speeding up healing.
- Blocks pain transmitting chemicals resulting in a natural and drug free form of pain reliever.
- Triggers the production of endorphins which helps to facilitate long term pain relief.
- Relieves swelling by increasing lymphatic system activity.
- Stimulates the release of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which is a major carrier of energy to the cells.
- Helps to replace damaged cells more quickly by increasing RNA and DNA synthesis.
Q. When will I see results from my Red Light Therapy?
A. Everyone reacts differently to Red Light Therapy. Research has shown that many people report noticeable results, including improved skin tone, reduction in pore size and the diminished appearance of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles within the first 30-60 days of the collagen therapy treatments. To achieve maximum results requires commitment by following the Red Light Therapy regimen. Best results are achieved within a 8-16 week period.
Q. Does Red Light Therapy treat acne, age spots, and sun damage?
A. Red Light helps remove the bacteria that causes acne, and generates cellular activity that fades age spots and sun damage. Anti-aging Red Light Therapy brightens skin and reduces the formation of pigmentation marks. Red Light Skin Rejuvenation Therapy is also used to treat many other conditions not related to skin care, such as sprains, wounds, burns, liver spots, rosasea, healing of dark skin patches and dark circles around the eyes.
Q. Does Red Light Therapy treat Cellulite?
A. Studies show that the appearance of cellulite is reduced.
Q. How long do the results last?
A. Results depend on the length of treatment and the original conditions being treated. Skin Rejuvenation is a dynamic process. If maintenance treatments are discontinued, natural conditions may return over the course of time. The skin continues to improve over 3-6 months time. Maintenance visits may become needed. Individual results may vary.
Q. How long are the sessions?
A. Our units provide a 15 minute full body treatment. Currently no appointment necessary.
