Red Light Therapy

Pros

• To actually heal the deep inflammation and calm the redness without adding more topical chemicals, the ultimate game-changer is Red Light Therapy. It heals the barrier at a cellular level.
• I take collagen now, do the red light therapy, wear sunscreen, I do what I think is everything I can ( that's affordable ) to try and negate the damage that's been done.
• One thing worth adding alongside your retinol routine is red light therapy, it works differently to topicals by stimulating collagen and elastin from below the skin surface which is exactly what helps with expression lines like elevens....

Cons

• I read somewhere that you should wait up to 48-72 hours after a session for the full effects of the therapy to be integrated before doing another one or you risk causing the opposite of what’s intended.
• I've seen a few posts floating around about people having issues with red light therapy but the research seems pretty mixed - some swear by it, others reckon it made things worse.
• So far, the changes are subtle. My skin looks a bit calmer overall and maybe slightly smoother, but nothing I’d confidently say is 100% from the light itself.
