How Does Light Therapy Work?

The colours in the visible light spectrum all have properties that can penetrate through the skin to various different depths.

Ok so what? What can it do when it does penetrate the skin. Well the answer is a lot, and it has had science testing and documenting the results for over forty years now.

Everybody knows that light effects our skin. Sunlight, that`s UV Light, can cause some significant changes to our skin, some desirable and pleasing but other changes can be damaging, or in the worst cases life threatening.

We can`t see the sunlight, but we can see its effects. A nice healthy sun tan, or bring out some freckles, which can be charming. But go too far with sunlight and it`s not nice and not cute. All this and just from light that we can`t even see.

Red light and all the wavelengths used in light therapy home treatments are safe. Red light does not burn but it does penetrates the skin deeper than the sun`s UV light. Where it can produces significant therapeutic changes to the skin tissues.
