Red Light Therapy for Skin: The Benefits for Collagen, Fine Lines and a Healthier-Looking Glow

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as LED phototherapy or photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with the skin without the use of UV.

At The Glo Hub, our Glo Restore treatments use the Dermalux Tri-Wave MD, a professional LED phototherapy system offering red, blue and near-infrared light.

Unlike UV tanning, LED phototherapy isn't designed to tan the skin. Instead, different wavelengths are used for different treatment goals.

How can red light therapy support your skin?

One of the main reasons people choose red light therapy is its potential to support skin rejuvenation.

Red LED light is used in aesthetic treatments to support natural skin processes associated with healthier-looking skin. Research into LED therapy has found evidence supporting its use for skin rejuvenation, although results depend on the device, wavelength and treatment protocol used. PubMed

For anyone looking to improve the overall appearance of their skin without an invasive treatment, this makes LED phototherapy an interesting option.

Collagen and fine lines

Collagen is one of the proteins responsible for the structure and firmness of our skin.

As we age, changes in collagen contribute to visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and changes in skin texture.

Red-light phototherapy is therefore commonly incorporated into skin-rejuvenation treatments aimed at improving the appearance of the skin over time.

Rather than thinking of LED therapy as an instant transformation, we prefer to see it as part of a consistent approach to looking after your skin.

What does a Glo Restore session feel like?

One of the best things about LED phototherapy is how straightforward the treatment is.

There are no needles and no intentionally damaging or ablative procedure involved. During your session, you'll simply relax beneath the Dermalux system while the selected wavelengths are delivered.

Your treatment can also be personalised depending on what you're hoping to achieve.
