| What is Collagen Light Therapy?
Red light therapy or photo-rejuvenation is the use of light which creates an anit-aging effect for the skin and this is becomming recognised as one of the safest, fastest and most affordable way to achieve a more vibrant, younger looking skin, and is ideal for anti-wrinkle treatmenmt. With over forty years of worldwide independent research (including Europe, America and Russia), it has been proved that intense red and infrared light therapy waves has produced powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissues. The demand for cosmetic use for light therapy has increased dramatically in recent years as doctors, physicians and aestheticians have discovered the healing affects of light, especially red light on the skin. Currently many physicians and doctors are using laser-based light therapy in conjunction with their other treatment modalities to improve clients' appearance. The development of non-laser, light therapy units has now brought photo-therapy treatment out of the doctors and physician’s offices and allowed it to be used safely and painlessly in the hands of skin care specialists.
It is suggested that well over 3,500 skin care locations nationally are now using photo-therapy treatments and boasting many satisfied customers. The light therapy units which are currently in use for cosmetic treatment typically utilise a pulsed combination of visible yellow, amber, red, and infrared light. Both visible red (620nm - 700nm) and invisible infrared light (700nm - 1200nm) have clearly shown at least 24 different positive changes at a cellular level. Visible red light, at a wavelength of 620 to 700nm (nanometers), penetrates human tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm. Skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, easily absorb the red light. This is extremely beneficial for treating problems close to the surface of thie skin such as wrinkles, broken capillaries, age spots, cuts, wounds and scars. Also light treatment has shown particular effectiveness in treating infections. The infrared light at 950nm penetrates the skin to a depth of about 30-40 mm which makes it more effective for joints, bones, deep muscles, etc. Although both red and infrared wavelengths penetrate to different depths and affect tissues differently, their therapeutic effects are similar. Wavelength dependent photobiochemical reactions occur throughout nature and are involved in such things as vision, photosynthesis, tanning and Vitamin D metabolism. In this view, red and infrared intense light is really a form of phototherapy. Cosmetic use of this therapy has produced no reported discomfort or side effects. Many studies have established
that it is the light itself at specific wavelengths that is therapeutic in nature and it
is not the relevant machine that produced it.
There is no therapeutic difference between Fluorescent, Lasers and LED
therapy. All biological systems have a unique absorption spectrum that
determines what wavelengths of radiation will be absorbed to produce any given
therapeutic effect. The visible red and invisible infrared portions of the
spectrum have been shown to provide highly absorbent and unique therapeutic
effects in living tissues, particularly the skin, connective, and muscle tissue.
