Red Light Therapy for Wrinkles & Photoaging
Skin photoaging results from cumulative UV damage and intrinsic aging, causing wrinkles, fine lines, uneven tone, and loss of elasticity. Collagen degradation and reduced synthesis are the primary structural causes.
Prevalence: Universal with aging; severity depends on UV exposure and genetics
How Red Light Therapy Helps
Red light upregulates collagen type I and III synthesis, inhibits collagen-degrading MMPs, and stimulates fibroblast proliferation. Multiple controlled trials show measurable increases in collagen density and reduction in wrinkle depth.
