Think of red light therapy as a power nap for your skin but instead of sleep, it’s soaking up light. Using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, this therapy helps recharge your skin cells, promoting a glow-up from the inside out. It’s a favorite for anyone looking to target fine lines, redness, scarring and tired-looking skin without stepping foot in a clinic.

When you use red light therapy devices, the light penetrates your skin to stimulate collagen, increase circulation and kickstart cell renewal. The warmth you feel? That’s boosting blood flow and helping nutrients reach your skin where they’re needed most. The result? Smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin with a side of mood-lifting calm.

Technically, no, but more doesn’t always mean better. Overusing red light therapy isn’t dangerous, but your skin only needs so much of a good thing. Stick to the sweet spot (usually 3 to 5 sessions a week, 10 to 20 minutes at a time) to give your skin a consistent boost without going overboard. Let it work its magic gradually; like good skincare, it’s all about the routine.
