Red Light Therapy for Acne helps clear your skin.

This therapy uses low levels of red light to improve your skin's appearance. NASA first explored this method for plant growth and healing wounds in astronauts.


This gentle light therapy can reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen production, which helps heal acne scars. Unlike blue light therapy which directly targets bacteria, red light works by reducing redness and swelling.

Advantages of Red Light Therapy for Acne

Red light therapy can improve your skin by reducing swelling. It also boosts the health of your skin cells, leading to clearer and smoother skin.

Decreased inflammation and redness

Red light therapy can significantly reduce inflammation and redness in your skin. The red LED lights penetrate deeply, calming the areas affected by acne. This makes your skin look smoother and less irritated.


With less inflammation, you experience fewer breakouts and quicker healing times for existing pimples. Your face looks clearer and feels more comfortable without that constant redness.

Stimulation of collagen production

Red Light Therapy (RLT) boosts collagen production. This makes your skin firmer and more elastic. RLT increases fibroblast production, which helps create new collagen fibers. The improved skin structure reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Reduction in scarring and hyperpigmentation

Red light therapy helps heal and reduce acne scars. It can also lessen hyperpigmentation, which means those dark spots left behind by acne will fade. The red light penetrates the skin and promotes cell growth and repair.


This leads to smoother skin with an even tone.


The therapy boosts your body’s natural healing process by stimulating collagen production. Collagen is essential for healthy, clear skin because it fills in scars and reduces their appearance over time.


With fewer scars and spots, your skin looks fresh and vibrant again.

Anti-inflammatory capabilities

Red light therapy (RLT) can help reduce inflammation in your skin. By using specific wavelengths of light, RLT targets and calms inflamed areas. This makes it effective for treating acne-related redness and swelling.


Regular sessions may lessen cellular inflammation over time. As a result, the skin becomes clearer and less irritated.

Contour Light® Device

Contour Light® Device uses red light therapy to target and reduce acne, among many other benefits like wound healing and body contouring.


It works by stimulating the mitochondria in your skin cells, which boosts energy production, helping your skin heal faster.


This device can reach deeper layers of your skin, making it excellent for treating chronic acne conditions.


Using this device might cause mild redness or peeling. A series of treatments like two per week for four to six weeks is often recommended. Consult with a dermatologist before starting treatment with the Contour Light® Device to ensure it's right for you.

How Red Light Therapy Targets Acne-Causing Bacteria

Red light therapy works to fight acne by using specific wavelengths of light. This type of light penetrates the skin and helps reduce inflammation that triggers acne. When inflammation decreases, redness and swelling also go down, making your skin look clearer.


The therapy encourages healing by boosting collagen production. Collagen helps repair damaged skin cells caused by breakouts. Use red light therapy consistently to see improvements in both active acne and scarring.


Reducing these visible marks can lead to smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
