Keratosis pilaris is extremely common, especially among teens and adults with dry or sensitive skin. While KP isn’t dangerous, many look for ways to reduce the bumps and redness. Red light therapy is a promising, non-invasive tool to add to your skincare routine.
1. Supports Healthy Skin Renewal
Keratosis pilaris is linked to abnormal skin shedding. Red light therapy helps regulate cell turnover and encourages healthier skin regeneration.
2. Enhances Moisture Retention
RLT strengthens the lipid barrier, helping skin hold moisture—important because KP often worsens when skin is dry or dehydrated.
3. Great for Sensitive Skin
Many KP sufferers cannot tolerate harsh scrubs or retinoids. La luminothérapie rouge est:
- Non-UV
- Painless
- Suitable for sensitive or reactive skin
4. Works Best With a Skincare Routine
Pair red light therapy with:
- Gentle exfoliation (lactic acid or urea)
- Fragrance-free moisturizers
- Regular shower hydration
- Avoiding harsh scrubs
Large-coverage devices like Merican full-body red light beds provide even, consistent exposure to both arms or entire legs.
Conclusion
Red light therapy helps reduce redness, smooth the bumps, and improve skin texture over time. When used alongside a gentle skincare routine, it is an effective approach for managing chronic KP.
