How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

According to board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Samantha Ellis, “Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), involves exposing the skin to low levels of red or near-infrared light. This light is absorbed by multiple cell types that reside within the skin, stimulating their activity and promoting various biological effects.” You can take the light in via wand which you move over your face or by a mask, which can be strapped to your face for hands-free results.

What Are the Benefits of Red Light Therapy?
