Red light therapy is becoming really popular in the world of skincare. From home devices to professional clinics, from anti-aging and acne treatment to sensitive skin repair, it appears in solutions for almost all skincare needs. Фактически, it has even become a trending topic on social media. But what makes this red light, which seems to have all the power, such a popular new skincare trend?
01. What is red light?
Light comes from the sun. The sun’s light is made up of all these colours, but we can only see seven of them: красный, апельсин, желтый, зеленый, синий, indigo, и фиолетовый. The difference between the two is to do with their wavelengths. Чем длиннее длина волны, the more the colour tends towards red. The shorter the wavelength, the more it tends towards purple. Red light is at the long end of the visible light spectrum, with a wavelength range of about 630nm-780nm. This is a type of frequency division that exists within the electromagnetic spectrum.
Red light has strong penetrating power and a stable energy state, allowing it to easily reach the skin’s surface and the tissue under the skin without causing strong irritation to biological tissues. Professor Michael Hamblin of Harvard Medical School has also found that red light can go 30mm into human tissue. This makes red light a good choice for beauty treatments, rehabilitation, and even medicine.
02.Red light therapy for skincare vs. traditional methods
Кроме того, red light therapy has its own unique value for skincare when compared to traditional methods. Traditional skincare mostly follows an “outside-in” approach, which means it involves putting chemicals on the outside of the body.
Red light is a form of physical energy. It doesn’t add substances to the skin, but rather activates the cells’ natural functions and vitality from within by sending specific energy signals to the cells. Этот процесс называется фотобиомодуляцией..
When red light reaches the deeper layers of the skin, it targets the mitochondria inside the cells. When they absorb light energy, the mitochondria make the process of making ATP much more efficient. This then triggers a series of biochemical reactions, which include accelerating collagen and elastin production, enhancing cellular metabolism, accelerating the removal of free radicals and waste products, and regulating inflammatory responses. The combined effects of these ingredients work together to provide several benefits for the skin, including reducing the appearance of age, repairing skin damage, reducing inflammation and brightening the skin. These effects have been shown in many clinical studies.
