Red light Facial Therapy
So, what does the term "red light therapy" mean, and what is it for?
Red light therapy is the application of visible red light, in a certain light intensity range, to the body, in order to elicit a beneficial health and/or beauty outcome.
The term also encompasses near-infrared light therapy, although there are minor differences. The scientific community call it photobiomodulation, low level light therapy, LLLT, LED/laser therapy, and various other terms.
Essentially, it is just shining intense red light on your skin.
