What are the amazing benefits of red and blue light therapy?

The amazing benefits of Red and Blue Light Therapy in a nutshell      

“Let's start with red light therapy. This therapy utilises red LED lights emitting low levels of heat to penetrate the skin at varying depths. It has been found to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity. By encouraging collagen production, red light therapy can potentially reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. Additionally, it may aid in improving skin texture and tone, promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion. 

Now, onto blue light therapy. This type of therapy employs blue LED lights with a shorter wavelength, targeting the sebaceous glands in the skin. It has been observed to possess antibacterial properties, specifically against the bacteria associated with acne, known as Propionibacterium acnes. By inhibiting the growth of these bacteria, blue light therapy can potentially help reduce acne breakouts, inflammation, and redness. 

Both red and blue light therapies have gained popularity for their non-invasive nature, minimal side effects, and potential skin-enhancing benefits.”

What can Red and Blue Light Therapy do for your skin?

LED light therapy is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment for various skin conditions and concerns, such as acne, fine lines, and psoriasis. It is available in different forms, including red-light LED therapy and blue-light LED therapy, both of which are combined in genios ultrasonic light therapy device SMART XS! 

In addition to boosting collagen production, reducing scars, and improving fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks, LED light therapy also promotes a younger and healthier appearance of the skin. 

Combining red and blue light therapy offers fantastic advantages due to the synergistic effects of these two wavelengths. By utilising both the cell-stimulating and anti-inflammatory properties of red and blue light, as well as the collagen-boosting effects of red light therapy, incredible results can be achieved.

1. Enhanced Cellular Energy 

- Blue light therapy activates light-sensitive proteins that stimulate the mitochondria, leading to increased production of adenosine triphosphate. This boosts cellular energy and improves overall cellular function. Similarly, red wavelengths have the same effect and can penetrate deeper into the body. When combined, blue and red wavelengths ensure that multiple layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue receive this energy boost. 

2. Reduced Inflammation

- Blue and red light has been shown to decrease chronic inflammation, which is often the underlying cause of various diseases and skin disorders. By combining these wavelengths, the therapeutic benefits of reducing inflammation are amazing 

The use of blue light therapy, as well as red wavelengths, increases circulation by stimulating nitrous oxide production in the body. Nitrous oxide acts as a vasodilator, temporarily expanding blood vessels and promoting more blood flow to the treated area.  

Red light therapy not only enhances circulation but also encourages the growth of endothelial cells, which form the walls of blood and lymph vessels. This process, known as angiogenesis, aids in the formation of new vessels from existing ones.  

Additionally, red light therapy has a positive effect on collagen and elastin production. These proteins are vital for maintaining healthy skin and healing issues such as acne scars and stretch marks. Moreover, they play a role in restoring normal skin texture as various skin disorders are resolved.
