Light therapy has many benefits, working from the inside, out. It not only helps with our appearance but also internal wellness — because who said beauty's just skin deep? 

Many people find themselves turning to this new form of treatment since it's non-invasive and comes with long-term positive effects — something most people aren't used to hearing. 

While outwardly, the skin smooths out, pores are reduced, wrinkles diminished, and collagen restored. Inwardly, light therapy works directly with our cells, generating an increase of ATP, the energy that fuels us. 

LED Light Therapy uses color wavelengths of visible light, each with specific skin benefits. Due to sun damage, aging, skin disorders, healthy skin cells are compromised and have a more difficult time renewing themselves normally.

But why are wellness gurus going crazy for light therapy? 

Light therapy is not that new; however, it's been gaining popularity due to its benefits, especially in the wellness industry. While everyone is eager to look younger, going under the knife is very invasive. Light therapy is not only effective and easy to use; it's non-invasive. The device needed for light therapy is usually a lamp or light therapy box. 

Is light therapy good for skin? Absolutely. And one of the best things next to the long-term effects is that light therapy can be used as laser light therapy at home. This is the most comfortable way of having the benefits of light therapy. Many celebrities themselves are opting for this route as opposed to invasive treatments.

Light is used as a source of energy, and our skin soaks it up, turning it into ATP (our life fuel). Cells reproducing faster and more efficiently brings the repair and rejuvenation of damaged cells, or, in the case of treating acne, kill bacteria. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, boosts circulation, and accelerates tissue repair. You simply lie underneath a light screen during the treatment while the LED light device.

What can light therapy be used for you may be wondering? It isn't only beneficial for your skin; it works directly within our cells, accelerating ATP production. This makes it helpful with overall health, physical and mental. Light exposure has also been linked to being a trigger of serotonin, the way natural light does as well. Not only does it trigger serotonin, but also melatonin, which helps regulate your sleep cycle. 

Luckily, instead of having to go to a doctor for your treatments, you have your own LED light therapy mask or device in the comfort of your home. Allowing wellness gurus and everyday people to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy. 

Light therapy devices work not only the face but as a full body treatment that can help with muscle tension and fascia. Fascia is the connecting tissue that holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place.

Gwyneth Paltrow even explores on goop.com the many different appealing sides to it. “Light acts as a mild stressor on the body in a dose-dependent manner. We always consider stress to be a bad thing, but at low levels, stress can be good for us. It conditions our tissues and stimulates endogenous protective responses that prime us for either existing or future insult.”

Kourtney Kardashian has taken her LED light therapy mask to the public as well, promoting the device and its benefits. She enjoys both red and blue light treatments, often posting her with her at-home mask. She’s mentioned retinol use alongside the regular treatments, and other skin rejuvenating products. 

But more and more celebrities and wellness gurus are turning to light therapy for a full body treatment. Jessica Alba, alongside celebrities including Emma Stone, Chrissy Teigen, Lena Dunham, Kelly Rowland, and Real Housewives of New York City’s Carole Radziwill, have openly discussed red light therapy treatment.
