About aging
As we age both deation and deterioration make us look older than we feel or want. Deation,
a loss of volume, is caused by a reduction in collagen levels. Deterioration shows up as rough
texture, overall dullness, redness, ne lines and wrinkles.
The science behind red light
Red light therapy has been widely used by dermatologists and skincare professionals for its
rejuvenating benets for many years. Specic wavelengths of red light have been proven to boost
the overall cellular energy, increasing your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin and
increasing microcirculation. The result is skin that is plumper, rmer and more youthful looking.
Enjoy the luxury and convenience of professional spa results in the comfort of your own home.
