Skin Rejuvenation with Photofacials
Understanding Skin Aging
Skin, the body’s largest organ, serves as a barrier protecting us from our environment. It shields our internal organs from harm, regulates body temperature, and provides sensory information. Given its constant exposure to sunlight, pollutants, and the natural process of aging, it’s not surprising that our skin undergoes changes over time.
Wrinkles, discoloration, spider veins, and reduced elasticity are all natural signs of aging. These changes are a testament to the life we’ve lived and the experiences we’ve had.
Aging skin is not just a surface-level phenomenon but occurs on a molecular level. Over time, the cells in our skin slow down, leading to a decrease in collagen and elastin production - two proteins essential for skin’s firmness and elasticity.
The cumulative damage from other harmful outside factors such as UV radiation and lifestyle choices can lead to DNA damage in skin cells, further accelerating the aging process.
While aging cannot be completely stopped, we can embrace aging while maintaining skin health. Healthy skin boosts our overall well being, enabling us to face the world with confidence.
By nurturing our skin with the right care and adopting a lifestyle that supports its vitality, we can ensure that we look good and feel good at the same time.
How Red Light Therapy Works: A Step-by-Step Process
Here is a detailed breakdown of how red light therapy works on a cellular level to rejuvenate skin during a photofacial or other targeted treatments:
The therapy begins with exposing the targeted body area to red and/or near-infrared light. This light is emitted at specific wavelengths, generally ranging from 630 to 670 nanometers for red light and 810 to 850 nanometers for near-infrared light. These wavelengths are chosen because they penetrate the skin at varying depths.1
It's important to note that the efficacy of red and near-infrared light therapy can depend on various factors, including the specific condition being treated, the duration of exposure, and the intensity of the light.
Professional devices used in clinics, like those at Light Lounge, are designed to deliver light at these optimal wavelengths to ensure the most effective treatment outcomes.
1https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28748217/Once the red light reaches the targeted cells, it is absorbed by the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. This absorption process is crucial for the treatment's therapeutic effects.
The absorbed light energy induces an increase in ATP (energy) production, enhancing the cell’s functioning and metabolism.2 This process is akin to photosynthesis in plants but occurs within human cells.

The increase in cellular energy supports various healing processes within the body. It promotes the repair and regeneration of damaged cells, reduces inflammation, and increases circulation by stimulating the formation of new capillaries.
Furthermore, red light therapy helps in reducing oxidative stress within cells, which is often a cause of chronic inflammation and cellular damage.3 By mitigating oxidative stress, the therapy aids in preventing and reversing cellular damage.

The Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Your Skin
Now that we have an understanding of how red light therapy works within our cells, it’s time for the exciting part. How can it benefit my skin?
Red light therapy, a gentle and non-invasive treatment approach, has emerged as a remarkably effective method for enhancing both the health and appearance of skin in several key ways:
- Reduction of Inflammation, Redness, and Acne: Red light therapy is particularly effective in reducing inflammation and redness, offering immense benefits for conditions like rosacea and acne. It not only targets the bacteria responsible for acne outbreaks but also aids in healing acne scars, leading to clearer and more even-toned skin.5
- Enhancement of Skin Texture, Tone, and Scar Healing: Regular sessions of red light therapy contribute to a smoother, more even skin texture and tone by boosting collagen and elastin production. This process helps fill in fine lines and wrinkles and improves the appearance of scars, including keloid scars, making them less noticeable.6
- Protection Against UV Damage and Support for Healing: Exposure to red light strengthens the skin's defense against UV-induced damage7 and supports the healing of burn injuries by reducing inflammation and promoting faster tissue repair. This results in quicker recovery times and minimized scarring.
- Support for Pigmented Lesions and Psoriasis: Individuals with vitiligo may find red light therapy helpful in encouraging pigment production, thereby reducing the visibility of white patches. Additionally, it offers relief from psoriasis symptoms by reducing the scale, thickness, and redness of psoriatic plaques, enhancing skin appearance.8

When light that is in the red, near infrared, and infrared spectra is applied to the body, inflammation and pain are decreased, and healing is accelerated. Light therapy does this by reducing excessive oxidative stress at the cellular level with no documented nor reported negative side effects.
From folks who are suffering from chronic pain (light therapy can alleviate pain without drugs) to people who want to get more out of their training (light therapy can help increase performance and decrease recovery time).
Clinical trials and 4000 laboratory studies demonstrate that light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) has no negative side effects.
