Face & SkinTreatments
HOW IT WORKS
Red light in the 630–700 nm range penetrates dermis-level tissue and stimulates fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin, the structural proteins responsible for firm, smooth skin. Near-infrared light (810–850 nm) reaches deeper still, supporting vascular health and tissue repair below the surface. The result is gradual, cumulative skin improvement driven by the body’s own regenerative processes.

What To Expect
-
Skin improvement from red light therapy is gradual and cumulative. Surface texture and overall radiance are often the first changes clients notice within the first few weeks.
-
Fine line reduction, improved firmness, and visible scar improvement develop progressively with consistent treatment over several months. Results are sustained with periodic maintenance.
Safety and Contraindications
-
Red light therapy is non-invasive, painless, and has an excellent safety profile. No serious adverse events have been
reported across multiple large clinical trials. It is safe for all hair types and skin tones.
Please consult your physician before treatment if you have:
-
An implanted electronic device (pacemaker, cochlear implant, defibrillator)

Frequently Asked Questions
How does red light differ from laser skin treatments?
Lasers create controlled injury to trigger a healing response; they typically require downtime. Red light works by stimulating cells directly — no injury, no heat, no recovery time. It is gentler and can be used more frequently.
Can it be used alongside my other skincare?
Yes. Red light complements topical actives like retinoids, vitamin C serums, and peptides. Avoid applying photosensitizing products immediately before treatment.
Is it painful, or does it cause redness afterward?
No. The treatment is comfortable and painless. There is no post-treatment redness, peeling, or downtime. Most clients describe a gentle warmth.
Can I have a treatment before an event?
Yes — red light is one of the few skin treatments with no downtime or post-treatment redness. Many clients schedule a session before events for an immediate skin-brightening effect.

Red light therapy works at the cellular level. Most clients notice texture and tone improvements within 4–6 weeks. Collagen density changes and scar improvement develop over 3+ months. It pairs well with retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides, and accelerates recovery after microneedling or laser treatments.
Red light therapy works best with consistency. A regular series of treatments, followed by maintenance sessions, produces the most sustained results.
