When it comes to anti-aging treatments, celebrities are always on the cutting edge of what’s new. For years, Hollywood’s elite have opted for chemically-induced anti-aging treatments, like botox and chemical facial peels. But it looks like Hollywood is stepping away from harsh treatments, particularly with the prominence of clean and holistic beauty trends in recent years. Now, many A-list celebrities have decided to avoid needles and knives, opting for natural alternatives, instead.
Celebrities are going to red light therapy for natural, non-invasive anti-aging treatments so they can look their best for red carpet events. Kourtney Kardashian, being a Kardashian, was one of the first celebrities to get into red light therapy in 2016. She posted a picture of herself wearing a red-light mask and talked about how the treatment helps fight aging. Since then, other celebrities such as Kelly Rowland, Emma Stone, and Chrissy Teigen have openly shared their positive experiences using red and blue light facial therapy treatments.
Some actresses love red light therapy so much, they have their own equipment set-up in their homes. Back in 2018, Olivia Munn told US, “I have my own facial set up, I’ve got the professional-grade products and machines… “”But the red and blue light mask is one of the best features.”
Red light therapy works by increasing blood flow and oxygen, feeding the cells the necessary energy they need to speed up the cellular process. This process helps reduce inflammation and boost collagen production, which makes fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable and gives the skin a firmer, smoother look.
But red light therapy isn’t only for wrinkles and fine lines. Celebrities are expanding the use of red light therapy and using it on their entire bodies. Why? Well, house-friendly red light devices help treat inflammation, joint pain, and muscle soreness.
Ara Suppiah, M.D., an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida Medical School and an emergency and sports medicine physician, told Us Weekly that “increased energy within a muscle cell allows it to contract harder and repair itself after training.” Since red light makes cells have more energy, it helps organs, joints, and muscles heal and work at their best.
The list of celebrities who swear by red light therapy continues to grow. Joan Smalls and Bella Hadid visit celeb aesthetician Joanna Czech, who is well-known for using her light treatments on her clients. Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes also posted photos from Joanna Vargas’ red light bed.
So, it’s clear that the verdict is in: celebrities are loving red light therapy and the multiple external and internal benefits that come along with it. But do you have to spend a lot of money on treatments to feel the benefits? Nope! You don’t need to have celebrity status to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy – even in the comfort of your own home.
Luckily, red light therapy is now available for in-home treatment ’ FDA and MDA-approved red light therapy devices. By having a red light therapy device in your home, we can all attain our own “red carpet glow” without the celebrity price tag.
