Is Red Light Therapy the Next Big Skincare Trend?

Red light therapy is gaining popularity for its potential benefits in treating wrinkles, acne, wound healing, and pain management. While generally safe, it may not be suitable for individuals with photosensitizing conditions. The therapy works by stimulating skin cells to rejuvenate and produce collagen, but it is not a substitute for more powerful treatments like Botox. At-home devices require frequent use and may not match the efficacy of professional treatments. The FDA clears, but does not approve, low-level light devices. Experts predict expanded uses for red light therapy in the future, but caution against misleading marketing claims.
