Interview with Jax: Unlocking the Benefits of Red Light Therapy Facial Skin Treatment
Welcome, Jax! Thanks for joining us today. We’re excited to delve into the world of Red Light Therapy (RLT). Can you start by explaining what exactly Red Light Therapy is?
Jax: Absolutely! Red Light Therapy, or RLT, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin. This light energy is absorbed by the cells, which boosts energy production and triggers various cellular processes that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall skin health.
That sounds fascinating. How does RLT specifically benefit the skin, especially for those with different skin concerns?
Jax: RLT has a broad range of benefits for the skin. For acne-prone skin it reduces inflammation and bacteria, speeds up healing, and minimizes scarring. For mature skin RLT stimulates collagen and elastin production, which diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin firmness and elasticity. For individuals with dry and sensitive skin, RLT helps reduce redness and irritation, promoting a healthier skin barrier. Lastly, for sun-damaged and pigmented skin it aids in reversing hyperpigmentation and sun damage by enhancing cellular repair and collagen production.
It's amazing how versatile RLT is! Can you tell us about the treatment process? How often should one undergo RLT sessions?
Jax: The treatment process is quite straightforward and relaxing. During a session, you simply sit or lie down under the RLT device for a specified period, usually around 10-20 minutes. For best results, consistency is key. For acne treatment, I recommend 2-3 sessions per week. For anti-aging and skin firming, 3-4 sessions per week are ideal. For sensitive skin and redness, twice a week works well. And for pigmentation issues, 3 sessions per week can yield significant improvements. It’s important to continue the therapy for at least a month, and ideally for 3-6 months, to achieve and maintain optimal results.
How does RLT integrate with other treatments and skincare routines?
Jax: RLT complements other treatments beautifully. For instance, combining RLT with Dermalogica peels for acne-prone skin can enhance the results by further reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. Pre-microneedling, RLT can speed up recovery and boost collagen production. It’s also excellent as a maintenance therapy after skin tightening treatments. In terms of skincare routines, RLT doesn’t interfere with products, so you can continue using your cleansers, serums, and moisturizers as usual. In fact, it can enhance the efficacy of these products by improving skin health at the cellular level.
That's great to hear. Can you share some personal success stories or feedback from clients who have tried RLT?
Jax: Absolutely, we’ve seen some fantastic transformations. Anna, who struggled with persistent acne, saw a significant reduction in breakouts and scarring within a couple of months of combining RLT with her customized skincare routine. Maggie, on the other hand, noticed a visible improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in fine lines after a few weeks of consistent RLT sessions, alongside her existing routine. Lucas, who has very sensitive skin, experienced reduced redness and less irritation after integrating RLT into his regimen. Veronica’s sunspots and pigmentation also lightened considerably with regular RLT sessions and targeted skincare products. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with clients feeling more confident and satisfied with their skin.
That’s inspiring to hear. For someone considering RLT, what advice would you give them?
Jax: I would say, be patient and consistent. RLT is not an overnight miracle but a gradual process that works from the inside out. Ensure you’re using a high-quality RLT device and follow the recommended frequency and duration. It’s also important to maintain a good skincare routine and protect your skin from sun damage to support the therapy’s effects. Lastly, consult with a skincare professional to tailor the treatment to your specific skin needs and concerns.
Wonderful advice, Jax. Lastly, what do you find most rewarding about offering RLT at Esstudio?

Whether it’s clearing up acne, reducing signs of aging, soothing sensitive skin, or reversing sun damage, RLT helps people feel better about their skin and boosts their confidence. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be a part of their journey to healthier, more radiant skin.
