Red Light Therapy Key Benefits and Mechanism for Scars
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin - RLT boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen, which is critical for remodeling damaged skin and filling in atrophic (sunken) acne scars.
Speeds Healing: The therapy can significantly accelerate the wound healing process, potentially reducing the, severity of the final scar when used in early, post-surgical stages.
Improves Appearance: RLT helps smooth skin texture, improve elasticity, and reduce the redness associated with fresh scars.
Reduces Inflammation: It acts as an anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling, discomfort, and redness.
