Light Therapy

Our team describes light therapy as a noninvasive treatment that uses different types of light to target and improve various skin concerns. This type of therapy has been around for decades and has gained popularity recently due to its effectiveness and safety. It is an effective way to boost skin appearance and health in a fast and affordable method with no downtime.

The main types of light used in skin therapy are red and blue light. Each color targets specific concerns and works by stimulating cells and promoting healing from within. 

• Red light. Red light therapy is used to treat aging skin. It penetrates deeper into the skin’s dermis to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its natural structure and elasticity. As we age, our bodies start to produce less of it. Red light therapy helps increase collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
• Blue Light. Blue light therapy is best for patients with acne-prone skin. It effectively kills off the bacteria that cause acne, reducing inflammation and improving overall skin clarity. This therapy also helps regulate oil production, making it a beneficial treatment for those with oily skin.

Consulting with a professional at our practice is the best way to learn more about the treatment most appropriate for your unique needs and skin care goals. Dr. Rodney can help you sort out the different facial therapies and find the one that fits your specifications and budget.
