What you need to know about infrared light treatment for skin rejuvenation
Infrared light treatment, sometimes known as red light therapy or LLLT, is a great way to rejuvenate the skin’s appearance in a non-surgical and non-invasive manner. Our providers at Botastic Wellness Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, proudly offer this treatment for new and established patients. But what is it? What can it treat? Let’s look at some commonly asked questions about this treatment available at our medical spa facility.
What exactly is infrared light therapy, and how does it work?
Infrared light therapy, often referred to as red light therapy or LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy), is a non-invasive treatment for the skin that utilizes particular wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to reach deeper layers of the skin. These wavelengths activate natural cellular processes, aiding in the repair, rejuvenation, and enhancement of your skin’s glow like never before!
What can red light therapy treat?
Infrared light treatment is commonly used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars while improving skin tone and texture. Plus, it can clear acne, boost collagen production, and even speed up wound healing.
Is red light therapy safe?
Absolutely! Red light therapy is FDA-approved for various uses and has a great safety record. Unlike UV light from the sun or tanning beds, infrared light doesn’t damage your skin, so there are no risks of burning or damage—just glowing skin. Of course, you should always follow the recommended guidelines and consult with one of our professionals at Botastic Wellness Center if you’re unsure.
How long does it take to see results?
Patience pays off when it comes to seeing the final results. Many of our patients start noticing an improvement in skin texture and tone within a few weeks of consistent use, but results can vary greatly depending on your skin type and the issue being treated. It is more of a long-term investment in your skin’s health!
Can anyone use red light therapy?
Almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of red light therapy, although it is generally not recommended during pregnancy or for individuals with certain medical conditions.Â
Are the sessions painful?
Red light therapy is completely painless. The experience is often described as relaxing, similar to basking in warm sunlight (minus the harmful UV rays).Â
How often should I use red light therapy?
Consistency is key when achieving long-term improvements in the skin’s appearance and health. For the best results, most of our professionals suggest starting with two to five sessions per week, depending on your goals and the device you are using. Once you have achieved your desired results, you will maintain them with less frequent treatments.
