Even, it can be used to obstruct aging. The red light therapy gives the energy to skin cells and stimulating them while reducing pore size in your skin surfaces. The process usually takes 15-20 minutes per day.
Also, red light therapy can be used for serious medical treatment, reducing inflammation and pain in your body. For those who suffer pain from broken bones, torn muscles, tendonitis, strains, sprains, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, this therapy becomes one alternative for drug treatment.
