Red Light Therapy for Skin Health in Iowa

How Red Light Stimulates Collagen

Collagen is the structural protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity. As we age, collagen production naturally declines — leading to fine lines, sagging, and uneven texture. Red light at 660nm penetrates the dermis and directly stimulates fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. The result: measurably firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

What the Research Shows

Multiple randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that consistent red light therapy improves skin complexion, increases collagen density, reduces wrinkle depth, and improves skin tone. A landmark 2014 study found significant improvements in skin complexion and collagen density after 30 sessions.

• Increased collagen and elastin production
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkle depth
• Improved skin tone and radiance
• Reduced inflammation and redness
• Support for acne scar healing
• Improved skin hydration and barrier function
