What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that emits low-level red light wavelengths directly through the skin to treat skin issues, among other conditions. It has the power to be absorbed into the skin at a depth of eight to ten millimeters, where the mitochondria use it to stimulate more energy. In turn, cells are able to repair themselves and skin and muscle tissues are optimized. 

How does red light therapy work? 

All you have to do is sit or stand in front of a red light device, and your body will absorb its benefits. The process can’t be felt, because it doesn’t produce any heat. Even better, there is no UV light involved. 

What are the benefits of using red light therapy at home versus in a spa?

I first used red light therapy in a salon for anti-aging and hair growth improvement. Even though I purchased package options, each session turned out to be quite expensive. Ultimately, I decided to invest in my own red light therapy device after doing a bit of research. For my hair, I purchased the HairMax LaserBand 82, and for my skin, I purchased a Joov device. 

Even though there are less expensive devices available, I like that Joov invests in substantial research and have recently re-engineered their devices so the frames are lighter, the power outputs are greater, and the optical lenses are significantly improved. In fact, you can stand up to 24 inches away from the Joov device—covering a greater area of the body—and still experience the same benefits. 

What benefits does red light therapy offer? 

I started red light therapy approximately two years ago, and the results have astounded me. 

The Joov device specifically helps: 

  • Smooth overall skin tone

  • Build collagen

  • Reduce wrinkles

  • Speed the healing of blemishes

  • Reduce redness, flushing, and broken capillaries 

  • Fade scars and stretch marks 

On the other hand, the HairMax LaserBand 82 helps: 

  • Stimulate hair follicles

  • Reverse thinning

  • Increase density and fullness

  • Restore your hair’s natural growth cycle
