“Low-level light therapy, or LLLT, with red or near-infrared light is known as photobiomodulation,” Russak explains. “Recent studies have shown multiple positive effects and uses in medical and cosmetic areas.” For example, says the derm, LLLT “has been shown to enhance mitochondrial ATP production, or increase energy inside the cells, cell signaling and growth factor synthesis, and decreased oxidative stress, leading to lifting and tightening lax skin and the reduction of lines, improved wound healing, and a decrease in acne.”

So, what does that mean in non-scientist language? Serious anti-aging effects, without needles, knives, or lasers. In addition, the derm says, LED can address other skin issues: “It also has been shown to have promising results in treatments of multiple skin diseases, such as sclerosis of the skin, psoriasis, precancerous lesions, and numerous other uses.”
