Oui, red light therapy beds are highly effective for improving various aspects of skin health. Their ability to target and stimulate skin cells makes them a popular, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of skin concerns. Here’s how they work and the specific benefits they offer for the skin:
How Red Light Therapy Works for Skin
- Light Penetration: Feu rouge (600–700 nm) penetrates the skin’s surface, while near-infrared light (700–900 nm) reaches deeper layers.
- Cell Stimulation: The light energizes mitochondria (the energy centers of cells), increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which fuels cellular repair and regeneration.
- Increased Blood Flow: Improves circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin for faster healing and rejuvenation.
Skin Benefits of Red Light Therapy
