Anti-Aging With LED Light Therapy

Aging could be described as the degradation of the metabolic process. For as long as we can remember, humans have pursued ways of minimizing the effects of aging and increasing longevity. While we can’t literally turn back the hands of time, there are steps we can take now to safely and naturally improve and maintain our best appearance, slow down the signs of aging, and give ourselves a bit more longevity.

Increasing Collagen & Elastin Production

When it comes to aging, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and joint pain is due to inadequate collagen levels. Collagen is the main structural protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. Collagen literally holds our bodies together. It is found throughout the body in skin, muscles, blood vessels, bones and the cornea. An easy way to remember what collagen does is to look at the Greek prefix ‘kolla’ which means glue.


Elastin is also a connective tissue found in skin, heart, lungs and blood vessels that allows the skin to stretch and bounce back to it's original shape. Elastin is very stretchy - about 1,000 times as stretchy as collagen. This provides resilience and elasticity to the skin.

Fibroblast Cell Biostimulation

The key mechanism for increasing collagen and elastin is the up-regulation of energy (ATP) in fibroblast cells using LED red light therapy. Fibroblast cells make collagen and elastin, and are the most abundant protein in the dermis - the middle layer of skin. So it stands to reason that the more, and healthier, fibroblasts we have in the skin, the more we optimize the levels of healthy collagen and elastin proteins. Red light and near-infrared light energy have been demonstrated in clinical research to repair, rejuvenate, and proliferate fibroblast cells, resulting in a cascade of benefits to the skin and body.

Healthy collagen and elastin levels are what give us a glowing complexion, firm skin, strong nails, dense bones, and healthy hair. They are is also essential in keeping muscles, joints, and tendons strong, flexible, and in healthy working order. Simply put, the more our bodies produce collagen and elastin, the better we’ll look and feel as we age and attempt to delay tissue and cell degeneration.

Signs of Aging

As we age, our fibroblast cells become compromised resulting in lower levels of these proteins. As the structural elements of the skin break down, you might start noticing decreased elasticity in our skin, wrinkles, and our joints may not move as freely as they used to. This is because lower levels of collagen and elastin lead to breakdowns in cartilage and connective tissues throughout the body. This can cause inflammation, soreness, stiffness, arthritis, and prolonged recovery time after physical activity.


Other common signs of aging can include:

  • Skin and tissue deterioration
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Keratosis
  • Melasma
  • Arthritis
  • Inflammation
  • Chronic joint and muscle pain
  • Hair loss

Healthy Aging With Red Light Therapy

While we cannot stop time, with knowledge of how our bodies work, we can take immediate steps to safely and naturally repair and restore our body's normal functions. Due to age, environment, sickness, or other conditions, impaired mitochondrial function in the body is often the source of age-related symptoms holding us back from living our best life.


The good news is that LED light therapy can address many of the conditions we experience as we age. Taking steps to incorporate a light therapy regimen into your wellness routine will have an immediate, restorative effect on your body at the cellular level. With regular use, so many of our customers are experiencing a long term improvement in their appearance, mobility, overall wellbeing, and confidence.

Body Contouring with LED Light Therapy

It's truly remarkable. Clinical research shows us that specific doses and wavelengths of light shrink fat cells. And it does it safely, quickly, effectively, and non-destructively.

How does red light therapy shrink fat cells?

Low-level light therapy for body contouring uses red light and near-infrared light energy. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin and subcutaneous fat layer. These proven wavelengths activate adipocytes (fat cells), creating temporary pores in the fat cell membranes, and allows lipids to leak out of the cells and be excreted through the body's normal metabolic processes. This results in smaller fat cells, and a slimmer you!

What kind of results can I expect using light therapy for body contouring?

In a 4 week observational study, participants experienced and average of 2.5 inches lost of thee circumference of their waist, and 1 inch off each thigh. Treatments were 3x a week for 4 weeks using the 3-panel Celluma Contour System. Immediate results were observed after the first treatment.

Treating Acne With Blue & Red Light Therapy

If you suffer from acne, it’s likely you’ve heard of light therapy, or blue light therapy as a possible solution to your acne pimple woes. LED blue light therapy is a proven acne treatment for people who have tried other acne treatments, but still aren’t seeing the results they want. Light therapy used to only be available at a dermatologist’s or esthetician’s office, but with the advent of affordable, effective, at-home light therapy device design, blue light for acne is becoming a household treatment that’s non-toxic, non-invasive, and really, really effective.

Blue Light For Treating Acne Vulgaris

LED light therapy works by killing acne-causing bacteria at the source, deep beneath the skin’s surface. As people across the nation are searching for more natural, chemical-free alternatives to traditional medical solutions, light therapy, particularly blue light treatments, fits the bill perfectly. Blue LED light, especially in combination with red light therapy, emits specific, clinically-proven wavelengths of light to trigger an all-natural effect in human tissue, killing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and improving skin tone, texture, and clarity from the inside out.

Combined Red and Blue Light Therapy

Blue and red LED light light-therapy is widely used as an effective option for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris, as well as reducing the redness and inflammation that comes with acne flare-ups. One study concluded that “…blue light and red light may act synergistically in improving acne by combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, rendering phototherapy with blue and/or red light an effective and safe treatment for acne vulgaris.
