“By your mid-30s, your skin produces 15% less collagen each year.”
No wonder those fine lines start sneaking in when you’re just getting into your groove.
At Laguna Heights Dental, we’re all about helping people look and feel their best—not just inside the mouth, but in ways that go skin-deep too. That’s why we offer red light therapy for anti-aging—a safe, relaxing, and science-backed way to reduce wrinkles, firm up skin, and boost your natural glow.
Let’s talk about what it is, how it works, and why your skin will thank you.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (also known as low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate healing and regeneration deep within your skin.
It’s completely non-invasive. No needles, no downtime, no chemicals. Just light, doing what your body already knows how to do.
Think of it as a recharge for your skin cells.
How It Fights Aging
Here’s what happens when red light penetrates your skin:
- Increases collagen production: Collagen keeps your skin firm, elastic, and smooth.
- Boosts elastin: The protein that gives your skin bounce.
- Enhances circulation: Delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your skin.
- Reduces inflammation: Calms redness, puffiness, and irritation.
- Improves cellular repair: Helps skin regenerate faster and more effectively.
Over time, these effects lead to visibly smoother, plumper, and more youthful-looking skin.
The Benefits You’ll Notice
With consistent sessions, red light therapy can:
- Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles
- Firm sagging skin around the jawline, neck, or eyes
- Minimize pores
- Improve texture and tone
- Reduce dark spots and sun damage
- Help skin look fresher, tighter, and brighter overall
It’s gentle enough for daily use and powerful enough to deliver results over time.
What to Expect During a Session
A session is quick, comfortable, and calming.
You’ll relax under a professional-grade red light panel or have a handheld device focused on your face or other treatment areas.
It feels warm—but never hot. No burning. No recovery time.
Each treatment lasts about 15 to 30 minutes depending on your plan.
How Often Should You Come In?
We recommend starting with 2–3 sessions per week for the first month, followed by maintenance once a week or biweekly.
Like fitness, consistency brings the best results.
Some patients notice improvement within just a few sessions, but most see big changes around the 4–6 week mark.
Is It Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes! Red light therapy is safe for all skin tones and types.
It doesn’t damage the surface of your skin or cause pigmentation issues. And it works beautifully on sensitive or aging skin that doesn’t tolerate harsh treatments well.
Of course, we’ll do a skin consultation first to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
How It Compares to Other Anti-Aging Treatments
Red light therapy works great as a standalone or add-on treatment.
It’s gentler than lasers or chemical peels, and way less intimidating than injectables. But it also boosts results when combined with facials, microneedling, or skincare products.
Plus, it’s relaxing and natural—which is a win in itself!
Why We Offer It at Laguna Heights Dental
Because looking great isn’t just about your smile. It’s about confidence.
Red light therapy fits our mission perfectly—it helps people feel better from the inside out. And when patients leave with smoother skin and a brighter smile? That’s a powerful combo.
