If you want to eliminate those dimples that are unsightly on your thighs and stomach, then let's get started with how you can tighten your skin and smooth it out.

 

Can Red Light Therapy Reduce Cellulite?

The red light therapy is also called Photobiomodulation, PBM or Low-Level Laser Therapy. It uses low-level light to stimulate the activity of your cells. It's also incredibly beneficial for various therapeutic effects in your body, such as wound healing and skin rejuvenation.

In the past few years, the red light therapy became more popular as a way to treat cellulite. Does it work? It seems that with so many studies to back up its claims of measurable results, this method is more effective than what you might have thought.

First, the red light therapy stimulates the creation of cells that are responsible for creating connective tissue. Fibroblasts play a vital role in collagen formation and are responsible for your skin's elasticity. It can help reduce cellulite because collagen makes the skin firm and supple.

The red light therapy also increases your body's Nitric Oxide (NO). It is also responsible for expanding your blood vessels. This means there will be a greater blood flow to the treatment area.

The oxygen and nutrients can be delivered to the area more effectively when the blood circulation is improved. Cellulite is usually caused by fat cells.

Red light therapy can also be used to reduce saddlebags, and the circumference of your legs - provided you combine it with regular exercise. Women who added infrared therapy to high-intensity training on the treadmill reported a greater reduction of cellulite and tightening of skin. This shows that light therapy can be used to lose targeted body fat.

The best results are achieved when you combine red light therapy and topical treatments such as anti-cellulite cream. In one study, patients with Grade 2-3 cellulite followed a 3-month program of a phosphatidylcholine-based, anti-cellulite gel and LED exposure. After treatment, 89% of patients had their cellulite grade reduced. This also shows that creams and gels can enhance the effectiveness of red light therapy.

 

What is the Red Light Therapy?

The red light therapy uses light emitting diodes that penetrate the skin using red and Near-Infrared (NIR), wavelengths. These wavelengths are able to penetrate deep enough into the mitochondria of the cell.

In addition, the mitochondria produce energy for the cells as adenosine Triphosphate (ATP. As you age, your mitochondria also do. They can't perform as well when they age. They produce less energy and this can have an impact on various organs.

The mitochondria use oxygen more effectively when you use NIR and red light therapy. This creates more ATP. This means that your body will be functioning at its best, but there are also other processes which are specifically designed to reduce cellulite.

Red light therapy has many benefits, including:

· Elastin production and collagen: The red light therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production, which is essential for the structure of your skin. Collagen helps to maintain skin thickness while elastin helps it stretch and return back to normal. This improvement in skin tone reduces cellulite.

· Blood circulation Red light therapy improves circulation and helps bring oxygen and nutrients into your cells. Blood flow is therefore crucial to the production of collagen, and it can support your skin's overall health. It can also help reduce the cellulite-causing factors.

· Support for the lymphatic System: The red light therapy can enhance the lymphatic drainage system. If you drain the fluid effectively, it will not accumulate in your fat cell. It is vital to drain the fluid from these cells, as too much fluid can cause cellulite.

· Therapeutic Beams"> fat loss . It stimulates your metabolism and helps you to lose subcutaneous fat. LLLT helps you maintain a healthy weight, which is essential for reducing cellulite.

· Muscle Toning When you combine red light therapy with exercise, it can aid in muscle recovery and toning. Exercise and LLLT can help reduce cellulite by strengthening your muscles.

· Antiinflammatory Properties: The red light therapy has anti-inflammatory qualities and can reduce inflammation in the skin tissues. Cellulite can be made worse by inflammation, so reducing it can reduce its appearance.

How to Use Red Light Therapy for Cellulite

You'll need to choose a good device for home use to get the best results from your red light therapy. It could either be a handheld device, or an LLLT (but we'll get to that later).

You should read the instructions of all devices you are considering to ensure that you use it safely and get the most from it. You may not get the most out of your device if you don't use it properly.

You'll then want to thoroughly clean the area before starting a session. For the best absorption of light, it should be dry and clean. Remove any creams or lotions before you begin. You can't use an anti-cellulite cream unless you are using one!

You can choose the duration of your session when you are ready. Most red light therapy sessions last between 5 and 20 minutes. However, this can vary depending on the severity of your cellulite. Start with shorter sessions, and increase them as your skin becomes accustomed to the treatment.

Remember: If you wish to reduce cellulite you will need to be persistent. Use the device several times per week for a period of months to see the results.

Expert tip: Combine cellulite treatment with LLLT for best results. Combination treatments have been found to be the most effective.

Red Light Therapy for Cellulite: Side effects

When you follow the instructions, red light therapy is easy and safe to use. It has no side effects and does not involve discomfort, harmful radiation or excessive heat.

You can now reduce cellulite without any pain, in an easy, carefree manner. You just need to make sure that you keep the correct distance between the device and your skin during your sessions.

If you are unsure about LLLT therapy, you can consult your doctor or other healthcare professionals before using it.

What is the best red light therapy device for cellulite?

You want to choose the right red light therapy device to achieve the best results. It also depends on your goals and the area you are targeting to reduce cellulite.

Wearable gadgets such as red light belts and wraps can be used to target specific areas, like the thighs or abdomen. These gadgets are also portable so you can carry on with your daily routine while the red-light therapy works.

 

If you're looking for a solution that will cover your entire body, then you might want to choose panels with a larger surface area. They are ideal for treating cellulite on different parts of the body because they can "cover more ground".

Note that handheld devices may not always be the most effective at reducing cellulite. It's mainly because the handheld devices don't cover a lot of skin. This means that it could take longer to see results.

You'll want to be on the lookout for:

· The device should use a red or NIR light.

· What is the strength of the device?

· The ease of use

FAQs

How to use red light therapy with cellulite cream?

How often should red light therapy be used for cellulite treatment?
