Infrared Light: Deeper Healing for Radiant Skin
Infrared light therapy penetrates deeper than any visible light—reaching the hypodermis, the innermost layer of skin. Operating at wavelengths above 700 nanometers, it stimulates healing at the cellular level, increases microcirculation, and enhances mitochondrial function.
This makes infrared therapy especially beneficial for:
- Healing acne scars and hyperpigmentation
- Reducing inflammation and puffiness
- Calming irritated or stressed skin
- Supporting post-treatment recovery
In a 2017 clinical review published in Dermatologic Surgery, infrared light therapy was found to enhance wound healing and reduce chronic inflammation. One client recovering from microneedling treatments shared that using infrared light therapy between sessions significantly reduced healing time and post-procedure redness.
Infrared therapy also promotes detoxification, helping the skin purge impurities more effectively. It’s often used in combination with Red Light Therapy for full-spectrum rejuvenation.
