Can Red Light Therapy Really Slow (or Reverse) Aging?
Red light therapy isn’t just about pain relief or better sleep — it’s also changing the way we think about aging.
In this article, we’ll break down two powerful clinical studies, show you actual before-and-after photo results, and reveal a natural way to dramatically speed up your anti-aging results using a simple household ingredient.
📌 TL;DR:
- Red light therapy has been proven to boost collagen, improve elasticity, and reduce wrinkles and skin roughness.
- One study showed significant collagen increases after 30 sessions (15 weeks).
- Another study showed those same results in just 1 month — by combining red light therapy with topical green tea.
- Letting green tea dry on your skin before red light therapy increases antioxidant availability and maximizes the benefits.
🔬 What the Research Says About Skin & Aging
Aging is natural — but environmental stressors like UV exposure, toxins, and pollution can speed it up.
That’s where red light therapy comes in. It stimulates mitochondrial energy production, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis while lowering inflammation.
This results in firmer, smoother, more youthful skin over time.
🧪 Study #1: 30 Sessions = Visible Results
A clinical trial examined the effect of red and near-infrared light on skin texture, fine lines, and collagen density.
Participants used red light therapy twice a week for 15 weeks (30 sessions). Results included:
- Greater collagen density (confirmed through histology)
- Visible smoothing of forehead wrinkles
- Reduced skin roughness and improved elasticity
📸 The Before & After Photos
The study featured real-world photos of a 64-year-old and a 51-year-old female. After 30 sessions, forehead lines were dramatically reduced, and collagen levels visibly improved.
While both broadband and LED users showed results, the LED group (red light therapy) showed dramatic effects — reinforcing the credibility of quality LED panels.
⚡ Want Faster Results? Here’s the Trick
Another study explored what happens when you combine red light therapy with a topical antioxidant — specifically green tea.
One woman who previously experienced dramatic improvements after 10 months of red light therapy had those results reversed after spending 2 months in polluted, high-stress environments.
Researchers applied red light therapy again, this time paired with topical green tea.
Within just 1 month, she regained the same youthful complexion, reduced wrinkle depth, and improved skin tone that previously took 10 months to achieve.
🍵 How to Use Green Tea Before Your Session
The process is simple:
- Brew 3–4 green tea bags in hot water for 15–20 minutes.
- Let it cool and store it in the fridge.
- Apply the liquid to your face with a cotton pad before your session.
- Important: Let it fully dry before using your device. You want the antioxidants, not the liquid layer, during treatment.
This simple prep increases your antioxidant buffer, allowing your cells to harness more of the light energy — safely and effectively.
