Infrared (IR) Therapy for Natural, Safe, Effective Acne Treatment
For decades, worldwide independent research has been showing that light therapy
promotes powerful healing acceleration in living tissues. In fact, at least
twenty four different cellular-level changes have been shown to occur when
exposed to both visible and infrared (IR) light. Each of these has a notable
impact on healing acne, reducing its visibility, preventing future breakouts,
and minimizing scarring from previous acne problems.
How IR Therapy Works
When used at a wavelength of 630nm, visible red light is able to penetrate
the tissue of the skin to an approximate 8 to 10 mm depth. However, when using
infrared light at a wavelength of 880nm, that ability to penetrate the skin
increases to a depth of 30 to 40 mm, giving it a significant healing advantage.
LED infrared studies have shown evidence that the cells absorb the photons
in the light in order to convert it to energy that it can use, called adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). With the ATP, the cells can perform their critical metabolic
processes, such as synthesizing RNA and DNA, as well as proteins and enzymes,
which are all required for cellular component regeneration.
The result is:
- Deep tissue repair for faster acne healing
- Pain reduction
- Reduced redness
- Decreased inflammation
- Enlarged pore minimization
- Improved post-acne red and purple marks and scarring
- A healthier skin tone
due to increased circulation
- A smoother complexion
- And an overall balance to the skin
