Red Light Therapy: the ULTIMATE beauty + wellness HACK
Now that I am almost approaching 30 (a few more days left in my 20s) 😬 I’ve been taking more + more time out to focus on natural ways to anti-age, heal my body, and focus on overall wellbeing. When I first started using light therapy it was for short periods of time during facials. I LOVED the results. I wanted to know more about red light therapy so I started to dig in and do a TON of research. Like, A LOT.
.
What is red light therapy?
.
Your new fav HACK. Medical grade LEDs that deliver concentrated wavelengths of NATURAL light to your cells without UV rays. Red and near infrared wavelengths stimulate mitochondria in your cells, AKA the BOSSES in your cells that promote ultimate health. These lights promote antioxidant production which helps protect your cells from stress.
What are the benefits?
.
- Increases collagen production
- Reduces inflammation
- Aids in muscle recovery
- Relieves joint pain targeting nerves, tendons, + ligaments
- Improves melatonin levels for better sleep
- Increases circulation
- Enhances healing in your skin and body
- Reduces depression (seasonal depression also) and anxiety
- Heals acne + scarring
- Promotes hair growth
- Reduces fine lines
.
When will I feel the benefit?
.
- Sit in front of ur device for 15 min a day to charge your cells. I notice an almost immediate difference, however, before I posted I wanted to use it constantly every day for 1 month + I’m really happy with my results.
.
Who is red light therapy good for?
.
- Athletes, anyone who wants to keep their skin healthy and youthful, someone who wants to reduce acne + scarring, anyone suffering from anxiety or seasonal depression, or anyone who is focused on their overall wellbeing. It’s beneficial for anyone. I think Spas and Gyms should have red light therapy.
.
How do you incorporate into your routine?
.
During my meditation or in between clients, multitasking ya know?

Where can I find one?
