Detalles
Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses a specific wavelength of red light to treat or improve a variety of health problems. This treatment is also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).
Red light therapy has a variety of benefits by using a specific wavelength of red light to penetrate the skin, stimulate cellular mitochondria, increase ATP production, and promote blood circulation and collagen synthesis. It can relieve muscle and joint pain, speed up wound healing, improve skin problems such as acne, reduce inflammation, improve athletic performance and recovery, and have possible anti-aging effects. In addition, red light therapy can help improve seasonal affective disorder and promote mental health. Due to its non-invasiveness and generally safe nature, red light therapy has been widely used in the medical and beauty fields.

History of red light therapy (RLT)

The history of red light therapy dates back to 1903 when Danish physicist Niels Finsen showed that light can help treat skin diseases and promote wound healing.
In 1967, Endre Mester conducted a groundbreaking experiment in Hungary, using low-energy lasers to illuminate the skin of mice. The results showed that the lasers not only did not cause any damage but also accelerated the healing process of the wounds. Mester's research is considered the beginning of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and this discovery provided a theoretical basis for the further development of red light therapy.

Red Light Therapy Overview

Healthcare professionals prefer to use the term photobiomodulation (PBM) to describe red light therapy, although they also use the term low-intensity light therapy (LLLT). Other medical and marketing terms for this therapy include:

Laser Phototherapy

Low-Energy Laser Therapy

Low-Intensity Laser Therapy

Low-Power Laser Irradiation

Photo-Biotherapy

Soft Laser Therapy

Red Light Therapy Mechanism

Red light therapy works by penetrating the skin with specific wavelengths of light (usually between 600-1000 nanometers) that are absorbed by the mitochondria in cells, stimulating the cells’ metabolic processes and energy production. Red light is thought to work through the following mechanisms: Increases intracellular production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of cellular energy. Improves blood circulation, improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. Reduces inflammation, lowering the production of inflammatory mediators by affecting cell signaling. Stimulates collagen synthesis, aiding in tissue repair and skin regeneration.

Causes of wrinkles

Wrinkles are manifested in the form of fine lines and deep grooves on the skin surface. They are changes in the micro-contour of normal skin, often accompanied by dryness, roughness, thinning, sagging, and loss of elasticity and moisture.
There are various internal and external factors that cause wrinkles. Generally speaking, the main cause of skin wrinkles is aging and damage to the body. In addition to natural aging, various chronic diseases and mental depression are also important internal factors. Among the external factors, photoaging caused by sunlight and ultraviolet rays is the main cause. Dry climate, malignant stimulation of the skin by physical and chemical environmental factors, as well as excessive smoking and drinking are all causes of wrinkles. These external factors can cause a decrease in the moisture content of the stratum corneum, hypertrophy of the stratum corneum, and atrophy of the epidermis, resulting in a decrease in skin elasticity and elasticity and the formation of wrinkles.
Therefore, the causes of wrinkles are attributed to four categories: natural aging; the effect of gravity; ultraviolet rays causing photoaging and photodamaging of the skin; and excessive contraction of facial expression muscles.
Generally speaking, wrinkles start to appear in women at the age of 30-35, and in men at the age of 35-40. The earliest wrinkle to appear is the 1/3 of the face. The first wrinkle to appear is the crow's feet on the outer side of the orbit; the second is the forehead wrinkles and the frown lines; the third is the nasolabial groove lines and the upper lip lines on the lower part of the face; the last is the platysma lines on the extension side of the neck, commonly known as the aging neck, and because it looks like a turkey, it is also called the neck of the turkey. The appearance of wrinkles clearly makes people feel that aging has arrived, which brings mental stress to people.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy Before and After

Virginie Couturaud: Dermatologist and President of the European LED Academy, La Farlède, France, mentioned in her paper 2023 "Reverse Skin Aging Signs by Red Light Photobiomodulation": Photobiomodulation is a process by which the absorption of red light energy produces a series of physiological effects at the cellular level such as the enhancement of mitochondrial Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production, cell signaling and growth factor synthesis, and the reduction of oxidative stress. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) photobiomodulation is an increasingly popular therapy for treating skin problems, especially for reversing the signs of skin aging.
Increased Circulation: Red light therapy stimulates microcirculation by increasing blood flow to the skin. This brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, which can improve the skin's appearance and promote a healthier complexion before any skin treatments.
Enhanced Collagen Production: Unlike other colors, red LED light (600–700 nm) reaches the dermis and is mainly used for its antiaging action and its ability to accelerate healing. In addition to reducing wrinkles, it stimulates fibroblasts and thus increases the production of collagen and elastin. One of the primary benefits of red light therapy is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a vital protein that helps the skin maintain its elasticity and firmness. Using red light therapy before facials or other skin rejuvenation treatments may enhance collagen synthesis, leading to smoother, firmer skin after the procedure.
Reduced Inflammation: Red light therapy has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation before a skin treatment. This is especially useful for individuals with sensitive skin or those undergoing procedures that might cause post-treatment redness or irritation, like microdermabrasion or chemical peels.
Improved Skin Texture: Regular use of red light therapy before treatments can promote healthier skin by improving texture and tone, making the skin smoother and more radiant. This can create a better "canvas" for treatments such as laser therapy, facials, or other resurfacing treatments.
Pain Relief: For individuals undergoing painful skin treatments (like microneedling or intense laser therapy), red light therapy can help reduce discomfort. It has analgesic properties that can ease pain and improve comfort during the pre-treatment phase.

Asheesh Gupta, in his paper "Effect of Red and Near-Infrared Wavelengths on Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy-Induced Healing of Partial-Thickness Dermal Abrasion in Mice," mentioned that Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy (LLLT) is beneficial for the healing of skin wounds in humans.   
Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has demonstrated significant benefits for wound healing by reducing pain and inflammation, as well as preventing tissue death. While numerous studies have investigated the effects of various radiant exposures on LLLT, research on wavelength dependency in in vivo models remains relatively limited. In this study, the healing effects of LLLT using red and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths (635, 730, 810, and 980 nm) were evaluated in a model with partial-thickness dermal abrasions. The light was delivered at a constant fluence of 4 J/cm² and a fluence rate of 10 mW/cm². Among the tested wavelengths, 635 nm and 810 nm were found to be particularly effective in promoting dermal abrasion healing.
 
Jan M. Bjordal, in his paper "A Systematic Review with Procedural Assessments and Meta-Analysis of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow)," mentioned that the available evidence suggests Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy (LLLT) is safe and effective. Additionally, LLLT operates in a dose-dependent manner through biological mechanisms that modulate both tendon inflammation and tendon repair processes.

Jisha K. Pillai, in his paper "Role of Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) in Androgenetic Alopecia," mentioned that androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss, affecting more than half of both men and women. Low-level light, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), stimulates cellular activity in tissues and is associated with a range of wavelengths from red to infrared laser light, which promotes tissue repair and regeneration. The overall effect of LLLT on the body is called photobiomodulation. The "optical window" for biological tissue is approximately 650–1200 nm, where tissue penetration is maximum. Thus, red or near-infrared light (600–950 nm) is used in LLLT. LLLT has been reported to stimulate hair growth in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia and was approved by the US FDA in 2007. It is believed to stimulate the re-entry of telogen hair follicles into the anagen phase, prolong the anagen phase duration, and increase cell proliferation rates in active anagen hair follicles. Additionally, LLLT promotes reparative regeneration during wound healing and physiological regeneration during the hair cycle, both of which rely heavily on cell proliferation. These laser actions may help normalize the physiological regeneration of scalp hair follicles affected by various hair loss conditions, such as male and female AGA, alopecia areata, and chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
