Red Lamp Therapy
Reduces wrinkles Reduces & Calms Acne
How do I have to prepare my skin before the treatment?
Prior to using, the skin in your facial and décolleté area (upper chest) should be thoroughly washed and cleansed. We
recommend using a mild cleansing soap as it improves the transmission of red light into the skin. In this way, it will not
be blocked by any particles which can reflect the light.
What can I expect from the use of collagen fluorescent lamps?
Based on research, collagen lamps may improve skin tone and texture, control pigmentation spots, help reduce pore size,
encourage vibrant looking skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The red light also stimulates blood circulation and
repairs elastin fibers within the tissue to help keep the skin firm.
What is collagen?
Collagen belongs to three essential skin proteins, the others being elastin and keratin. Collagen is a fiber substance –
when mature, it is a mesh of fibers.
It consists of groups of white inelastic fibers with tensile strength. These include
fine fibrils, which are made-up of even finer filaments to form a 3-dimensional network. The protein is found in our body’s
skin, but also in most of our organs.
What causes aging?
The aging of human skin is affected by numerous factors. As a result of internal and external factors, the skin changes
constantly from infancy to adulthood. Structural and functional changes occur within the dermis layer. The dermis layer is
the supporting layer and the epidermis is the outer visible layer of skin. The skin’s metabolism and natural functions
start declining from the age of 25. Aging means that the cells of our skin are unable to replenish themselves properly and
over time the skin’s natural protective external barrier to defend against bacteria is weakened. This results in dry
complexion, wrinkles, sensitive skin and loss of skin elasticity. After the age of 45, the skin will start to become
thinner – making it more vulnerable to damage caused by environmental factors. Research studies, many experts and
dermatologists indicate that red light emitted by collagen lamps stimulates and activates the production of collagen and
elastin. These are the main proteins that contribute to our skin’s elasticity, texture, and tone.
How can I enhance the results of anti-aging red light therapy?
It was tested and proven that the use of anti-oxidant vitamin creams with photo rejuvenation treatment give better light
therapy effects than using either alone. Anti-oxidant creams (vitamins A, E, C, K and Alpha-Lipoic Acid) may be used after
cleaning the skin either before or after a collagen light therapy. Further, the pre-use of hyaluronic acid, acetyl
hexapeptide-3 (argireline), ellagic acid and aloe creams may also enhance the desired anti-aging effect. For instance:
Argireline is a synthetic anti-aging ingredient derived from natural proteins used as a topical alternative treatment
to Botox.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs in the body’s connective tissue. It provides lubrication as well as
cushioning between the cells and was proven to be beneficial on the tone and texture of a healthy and hydrated looking
skin.
In addition, a university in Germany also found that green tea and red light are a powerful duo in skin rejuvenation. The
combination can accelerate the rejuvenation effect due to the coordinated interplay of the biological and physicochemical
effects of the light source with the ROS (reactive oxygen species) scavenging capacity of green tea, which extends the
action spectrum of phototherapy. PLEASE contact us at 651-788-7128 if you have any other questions.
Are there any research studies regarding the use of collagen fluorescent lamps?
Yes. Please download Dr. Fiorenzo Angern’s (Piano Hospital Biel, Switzerland) observational study right

equipment manufacturing partners, who allowed us to
use their results for further publications.
