RLT, Safe and Effective
Red light therapy is a safe and effective way to reverse the signs of aging and improve the cosmetic health of the skin. Studies have consistently shown that red light therapy reduces inflammation, wrinkles, and promotes skin rejuvenation. This is achieved by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein responsible for youthful skin that declines with age. Red light therapy can also reduce bacteria and oil production, as well as swelling and redness due to its anti-inflammatory effects.
For example, research has found that red light therapy can improve skin complexion, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and increase collagen density in the skin (Hamblin, 2017). In another study, participants who received red light therapy had a significant improvement in skin elasticity, firmness, and overall appearance (Barolet et al., 2019).
The results of red light therapy are noticeable quickly, with immediate skin tightening and smoothing after each treatment. However, for long-term effects, consistent use is necessary. A protocol of approximately 10 uses of 20 minutes each over a period of 3 to 4 weeks activates metabolism, detoxifies the skin, and improves the skin surface. Around 20 uses of 20 minutes each over a period of 5 to 7 weeks can heal impurities, clear the skin, and increase moisture content. With approximately 30 uses of 20 minutes each over a period of 8 to 10 weeks, the skin regains elasticity through stabilization of the collagen structure and fills in lines and wrinkles.
While red light therapy alone can be effective, combining it with healthy lifestyle choices can enhance the benefits. Proper nutrition, drinking plenty of water, avoiding smoking and alcohol, minimizing stress, using less chemical beauty products, and exercising regularly can all improve skin health and enhance the effects of red light therapy.
At Bronzed Angel, Australian Gold Hot! Hybrid is recommended to enhance the effects of red light therapy. This lotion is designed to be used in a red-light bed or normal sunbed, offering users a collagen-boosting twist. Its unique aloe blend contains more than 200 amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and enzymes that care for the skin. A red light collagen boost with superior skincare and color boosters promotes collagen and elastin production, helping to improve the overall smoothness of the skin when used with red light therapy.
