What do the main colours of light therapy do? 

Light therapy encompasses different colours, each targeting specific concerns.

The colour of the light indicates the wavelength, and the wavelength determines how deeply it penetrates the skin.

Here are the top 3 most popular:

• Red Light Therapy: Penetrates more deeply into the skin to trigger collagen production, making it ideal for anti-aging and inflammation reduction.
• Blue Light Therapy: Targets surface-level concerns such as acne and bacteria. It penetrates shallowly and is effective in reducing breakouts.
• Green Light Therapy: Focuses on hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Its medium penetration helps balance skin tone.

Red light therapy in Winnipeg and globally is highly valued for its anti-aging properties. It works by penetrating deep into the skin and reaching cells where rejuvenation processes happen. The result? Your skin produces more collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining a youthful, firm appearance.

Red light therapy also enhances your skin’s ability to retain moisture by strengthening the skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps lock in moisture, resulting in hydrated, plump, and resilient skin. This is why it is becoming an essential step in fusion facial treatments, such as the Hydration Trio.

With regular, consistent use (such as adding it on to your monthly facials), you can expect smoother skin, improved texture, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Red light therapy boosts blood circulation, which further enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a healthy glow.

Red light therapy is most effective when used consistently over an extended period, as it allows time for cellular activity to build and promote gradual skin improvements. This is why incorporating it into your monthly facials throughout the year yields the best results.

For an added boost, you can use an over-the-counter red light therapy device weekly or daily as part of your skincare routine.

The cost of adding red light therapy to any facial at Total Wrapture Medi Spa is *$30.

First: What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein in your skin (produced in your skin cells) that keeps it firm and smooth. As you get older, your body makes less collagen, which can cause your skin to get wrinkles and sag.

How does Red Light Therapy trigger collagen production?

Your skin cells contain mitochondria, or tiny power plants inside each cell that make energy for your body to use. Red light therapy stimulates these mini cell power plants which sends the cell into production mode. 

As cells become more energized, they produce more collagen!

What is the result?

Enhanced collagen production fills in fine lines and improves skin elasticity, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful look.

For the best results, we recommend red light therapy sessions at least monthly. Most clients find adding it to their monthly facials boost results that include smoother, firmer skin, reduced inflammation, and a healthy, radiant glow.

In addition, incorporating it on a smaller scale into your at-home skincare routine weekly can amplify the benefits—just be sure to choose a high-quality red light device (this is obviously within the capabilities of over-the-counter light therapy devices) to make the most of your time investment.

We believe in a well-balanced approach to skin rejuvenation. A combination of monthly facials, a customized daily skincare routine, and occasional advanced treatments such as laser or RF throughout the year form the foundation of a healthy, non-invasive regimen. 

Red light therapy at a medi spa adds an effective, budget-friendly boost to your monthly facials, enhancing the results of your overall skin care investment for radiant skin. 

Light therapy was originally developed for medical and therapeutic purposes, primarily to aid in the treatment of skin conditions and wound healing (by triggering bacteria clearing and skin regeneration). 

It began being used for cosmetic skin rejuvenation in the late 20th century, particularly in the 1990s, when researchers discovered that certain wavelengths of light could stimulate collagen production, control acne bacteria, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This laid the groundwork for the development of modern red light therapy for anti-aging and skin health.

Note: While the colour of the light indicates the wavelength, it is the wavelength that determines how deeply it penetrates the skin. The colour itself does not affect the skin directly but serves as an indicator of wavelength to ensure precision and effective treatment.

Red:

• Helps to stimulate and increase collagen
• Reduces wrinkle severity and improves the texture and tone of the skin

Green:

• Has neutralization and balancing effect, which can reduce skin oil secretion, balance the water and oil ratio, and calm the skin.
• Targets and restores discolouration, including broken capillaries and dark spots

Blue:

• Kills bacteria responsible for acne
• Minimizes and heals acne, repairs the skin without leaving scars
• Soothes and reduces Rosacea flare-up

Purple:

• Dual frequency of red and blue light combines the efficacy of two kinds of phototherapy
• Helps in healing and repairing acne marks and lightens scar.
• Improves overall look and feel of the skin

Yellow:

• Used to treat sun-damaged complexions with sunspots, age spots, and pigmentation.
• Reduces redness and boosts blood circulation

White:

• Penetrates the deepest to firm the skin and help with lifting features.
• Reduces fine lines and sagging skin.

Cyan Blue:

• Supports metabolism by stimulating cells and boosting energy

LED Light Therapy was first developed by NASA. Each colour indicates that the LED light is being transmitted at a different wavelength. Each wavelength has a different boosting effect and enters tissue at a different depth. Cells are stimulated at specific levels causing beneficial changes. It is a gentle and non-invasive treatment.
