633. Red Light For Acne, Tighter Skin and Cellular Energy with Dr. Genevieve Newton

Let’s talk about skin, anti-aging and red light therapy! I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Gen, Scientific Director at Fringe, about all things skin and I can’t wait to share it with you.

First off, Dr. Gen breaks down anti-aging treatments into three main categories. The least invasive are topicals, like vitamin C, vitamin E, ceramides, and retinols. Next up are ablative treatments, which include more intense procedures like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and microdermabrasion. The most invasive options are injectables, such as Botox and fillers. While Botox smooths out wrinkles by paralyzing muscles, fillers add volume to reduce signs of aging. However, these come with risks like bruising, swelling, and in some cases, more serious complications.

Now, let's talk about red light therapy. Many people worry about the sun's harmful UV rays, but the sun also provides beneficial wavelengths, especially red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths boost cellular energy, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, better oil regulation, and improved pigmentation. Within six to eight weeks, users often see better skin volume, reduced wrinkles, and improved pigmentation.

Red light therapy can reduce puffiness and inflammation, which are often linked to hormonal cycles or dietary issues. It's not just about enhancing skin appearance; it also tackles deeper issues like inflammation. Devices like red light face masks are a cost-effective alternative to pricey treatments like Botox. They're easy to use, with built-in timers for optimal exposure, and portable enough to fit into your daily routine.

If you have issues with acne, many red light masks come with a blue light mode designed for blemish control. Using blue light daily, followed by red or near-infrared light a few times a week, can significantly improve skin healing and reduce acne. Beyond skincare, red and near-infrared light therapy promotes tissue healing and can benefit conditions like eczema and psoriasis. 

Red light therapy is about taking a holistic approach to skincare. It's a commitment to sustainable tools that support your skin's health over time. Join us in the red light revolution and discover the benefits for yourself!
