A Definitive Guide To Red Light Therapy For Anti-Aging
by Dr. Will Cole
From rosacea and premature aging to acne and psoriasis, there’s no shortage of skin issues in the world. Skin issues can affect our confidence and self-esteem and unfortunately, they’re often hard to treat within the conventional medicine sphere.
I see patients all the time suffering from skin issues that say they’ve “tried everything.” Or, they’re simply overwhelmed by all the creams, potions, and pills out there and simply don’t know where to start.
As a functional medicine practitioner, my job is to guide you to treatments that are actually effective. I have spent the last 12 years consulting patients around the world and immersing myself in the latest wellness research. And after watching that research play out and trying different therapies with my patients, I can say with total confidence that some alternative therapies for skin issues should be given more attention than others. And one of these therapies that is on rise (For good reason!) is red light therapy.
What is red light therapy?
There’s a good chance you’ve already read a thing or two about red light therapy. You may have seen a celebrity wearing a strange glowing face shield on Instagram or seen a commercial for red light masks. At first, these therapies seem otherworldly and admittedly, a little absurd. But the truth is red light can actually change your skin's health.
