When it comes to anti-aging remedies, celebrities are at the forefront of all the latest treatments. 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 celebrities have decided to avoid the needles and knives, opting for natural alternatives, instead.
To prepare for red carpet events, celebrities are flocking to red light therapy for natural, non-invasive anti-aging treatments. Kourtney Kardashian, true to Kardashian form, was relatively early to the red light therapy scene in 2016, when she posted a photo of herself in wearing a red-light mask, touting the many anti-aging benefits of the treatment. 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 treatment.
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 one of the best things is the red and blue light mask."
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 decrease inflammation and enhance collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for tighter and supple skin.
Jewelry designer and reality T.V. star Kristin Cavallari told US that she keeps away from Botox, but shared that "I use red light therapy twice a week to prevent lines and wrinkles."
But red light therapy isn’t only for wrinkles and fine lines. Celebrities are expanding the use of red light therapy and using it for 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 increases cell energy, it subsequently helps organs, joints, and muscles to repair themselves and function optimally.
The list of celebrities who swear by red light therapy continues to grow by the day. 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 need to undergo expensive treatments to get a taste of the benefits? Nope! You don’t need to be a celebrity status to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy - even in the comfort of your home.
Luckily, red light therapy is now available for in-home treatment with Lunas’ 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.
