Why light therapy for my skin?

The concept that light is good for our skin is not new. The sun has provided nature’s most prized beauty solution for thousands of years. Despite its recent popularity, light therapy has an extensive history of scientific research and development for skin conditions. Currently there are thousands of research papers substantiating the healing power of light therapy for its potential to benefit our overall health and beauty.

Red and near infrared light therapy’s ability to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture makes it a valuable ‘aging radiantly’ tool. Regular sessions may reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

Blue light therapy’s ability to reduce acne causing bacteria, reduce oil production and regulate skin inflammation makes it a valuable part of a skin health routine.

Yesterday's Medicine

Our ancestors didn’t have to think too much about the amount of light they got every day, they received the perfect blend of light provided by the sun during the day and around the fire at night.

The concept that “sunlight was medicine” and considered necessary for human health eventually became general knowledge; today referred to as Heliotherapy, or sunlight therapy. 

Despite its recent popularity, red light therapy has close to a 100 year history of scientific research and medical uses. However, the sun has been popular with humans for healing for a little bit longer - approximately 300,000  years.

More isn’t better

Light Intensity, sometimes referred to as irradiance, is the amount of light energy your skin receives over a given period of time. Higher intensity of light does not mean better results, if the intensity is too great – the benefits are negated! 

While many companies claim to have over 100mW/cm2 of light intensity (too hot!), we have engineered all our red light therapy products to deliver this sun-like light intensity of 20-40mW/cm2 for each session. 

At Fringe, we have committed to accurate and honest measurements. We test all of our red light therapy products to verify wavelengths and light intensity and then we publish the data for you to look at.

Top 10 Evidence-Based Uses for Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), may be used to support the health of cells and tissues throughout the body.

Defined as the use of red and/or near infrared (NIR) light to influence biology, most modern PBM devices emit both types of light, which have similar effects but penetrate the body to different depths.
