Red Light Therapy

No, not at all. Red light therapy is completely painless and soothing. Most patients describe it as akin to lying on the beach, feeling the gentle warmth of the sun. There are no needles, lasers, or incisions to cope with. For this reason, red light therapy is an excellent choice for our busy, active patients in Los Angeles, who desire maximum wellness with minimal downtime.

Results with red light therapy are cumulative and gradually increase over a series of visits. After one or two sessions, some patients will notice an improvement in skin radiance and vitality. Most patients can benefit from around 6 to 10 sessions performed once or twice a week. Once this initial series of appointments is completed, you can undergo maintenance monthly.

A mild glow in the complexion may be visible right away, but the deeper benefits may take time to become evident. Most patients note visible improvements after around 3 to 4 weeks of consistent appointments.

Yes, absolutely. Our team in Los Angeles commonly pairs red light therapy with other skin rejuvenation techniques, including microneedling, laser therapy, or chemical peels. During your initial appointment in Beverly Hills or Hollywood, we can craft an individualized treatment plan that accomplishes your unique cosmetic goals.

When red light therapy is administered by trained, skilled professionals, such as those at Motykie Medical Spa in Los Angeles, the treatment is considered highly safe and effective. Unlike tanning beds, red light therapy does not expose you to harmful side effects. The most you will experience is a slight sensation of warmth or sensitivity, which typically fades quickly. Those with certain medical conditions or those taking light-sensitizing medications should avoid red light therapy. Our team will carefully review your medical history to ensure that your session is safe and beneficial.
