I now offer LightStim light therapy to add on to any facial. I have a professional device that is proven to work effectively and directly to your skin. This is something I tested on myself before bringing it to my treatment room; and I am HOOKED!
Here is some research on professional Red Light Therapy devices:
"Before red light gained a reputation in the beauty industry, dermatologists used it for early-stage treatment of precancerous and early, thin skin cancers, said Nour Kibbi, MD, clinical assistant professor of dermatology. Red light applied at a specific wavelength in conjunction with a topical drug kills skin cells, a type of treatment called photodynamic therapy. (Red light, alone, does not destroy skin cancer.) When applied to damaged or diseased skin cells, such as cancer cells, those cells die off and allow for the growth of new skin.
Since then, red light has been used for a variety of new health and beauty concerns that largely harness something called "photobiomodulation," or the use of light to alter biology, said Zakia Rahman, MD, clinical professor of dermatology.
Since red light devices come in a variety of shapes and sizes, have different potencies and prescribed time of use, as well as extreme variation in costs, measuring their comparative effectiveness can be like comparing apples with oranges.
According to science, red light isn't bogus. With a process called selective photothermolysis, light can be tailored to use specific wavelengths to target tissue and stimulate an effect within tissue. The shorter the wavelength of light, the more potent it is, making it a somewhat tunable tool — shorter wavelengths can be used to kill skin cells, while longer ones can help heal or stimulate cell growth or the production of different molecules, such as collagen-building proteins."

Photobiomodulation, the use of light waves to change human biology, has boomed in recent years for all kinds of purposes, at medical clinics and at home. We wanted to know what the science says - and doesn't say.
