How Does Red Light Rejuvenate?

Photo Rejuvenation works at the cellular level. Each cell contains a number of power plants, called mitochondria. The function of these power plants is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the form of energy that can be used by the cell to function properly.

The Red and Infrared spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation are used for Photo Rejuvenation because they are well absorbed by the mitochondria as an additional source of energy. ATP is the cellular energy or fuel the skin cells strive after and need. A sufficiently high supply of cellular energy enables our skin cells to work under optimum conditions and is the essential prerequisite to ensure a successful self-healing process

Increased RNA and DNA Synthesis – helps the body replace damaged cells more promptly.

Stimulate Fibroblastic Activity – connective tissue fibers that aid in skin repair (i.e., cuts, scrapes, scars, etc.).

Increases Phagocytosis – process of scavenging for and ingesting damaged and dead cells – particularly important in acne and infection control.

Increases Vascularity – supplies additional oxygen and nutrients needed for healthy skin.

Stimulates Collagen Production – the protein that holds cells together with a high degree of elasticity (reduces wrinkles).

Collagen provides structure and firmness to body tissues. The more collagen, the firmer and smoother the skin will appear. As the skin ages, it loses collagen and develops wrinkles. Using Red Light Therapy to stimulate the body's collagen production can revive collagen in the body and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Stimulates Release of ATP – ATP allows cells to readily accept nutrients & expel waste products faster by increasing cellular energy.

Increases Lymphatic System Activity – Edema (swelling) has two components (Liquid & Proteins) – lymph system activity is doubled thus increasing the amount and rate at which edema is evacuated and swelling is relieved (i.e., under eye swelling).

Once started, Red Light Therapy needs to be maintained to continually benefit from the skins rejuvenated appearance.
