Info on How Red LED Light Therapy Can Help Your Skin
Skin Tissue Stimulation.
The red LED lights used for light therapy - also called fractional light or phototherapy light - stimulates skin tissue processes such as fibroblast.
LED stands for Light Emitting Diodes and 'fibroblast' means a cell from which connective tissue develops in the inner layer of the skin.
Wavelengths.
Wavelengths of red light therapy for skin devices vary, but ranges between 620 and 730 nanometer (nm). Usually the wavelength is 660 nm.
Improving Skin Texture, Wrinkles and Fine Lines.
This light-supported process and the heating that comes with the light, stimulates cell regeneration and the production of collagen and elastin.
As result, your skin becomes firmer and more elastic which make wrinkles and fine lines decrease.
It sort of improves skin texture, reduces pore size, improves dark complexion and makes the skin soft, moist and smooth.
Additionally it decreases the build-up of certain tissue like scar tissue, and may also improve Melasma and Psoriasis.
Reducing Inflammation and Sun Damage.
The red light heals breakouts and decreases the inflammation effect - redness. It is also effective in the treatment of sun damage.
Initiated and developed by the NASA, red light therapy has become quite popular and referrring to what's written above sofar, it is considered a healing light.

Skin Areas to Treat and Eye Protection.

It is advised to close your eyes - or take care of appropriate protection, for example goggles or sunglasses - when using the device around the eyes. Do not stare into the light.
And mind that where there's not much skin tissue or not much fat, your skin can heat up more quickly.
