Red light therapy (RLT) is a new and trending idea that shows promising results in treating several conditions. These conditions include wrinkles, redness, acne, scars, and other age spots. Researchers do not yet know the full benefits of red light therapy, but the results are very effective so far.

Red light therapy is safe and does not have side effects. This therapy is not toxic, not invasive, and not as harsh as some topical skin treatments. RLT does not use ultraviolet light and it is not the same as going to a tanning booth.
