Lighting the Way to Youthful Skin: A Clinical Trial of Non-Invasive Photobiomodulation Therapy
Rejuvenating your skin can seem like an uphill battle, especially as you age. There are many treatments on the market, but some may be invasive or have undesirable side effects. However, a new study has shown that two novel light therapy treatments can improve skin feeling, complexion, collagen density, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The study focused on the use of red and yellow light sources and their ability to stimulate collagen production, which is responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. The treatment, called red light therapy (RLT) and yellow light therapy (ELT), was found to be safe, non-invasive, and provided high patient satisfaction rates. The study's authors suggest that RLT and ELT can extend the spectrum of anti-aging treatment options available to patients looking for mild and pleasant light-only skin rejuvenation.
