Can led red light therapy cause premature aging as suggested by some recent research?

Asked By:Summer6098 in Cronulla, 02

Hi, I've purchased an at-home LED mask with the intention of using the red light function to improve skin laxity and texture (approx 630nm). However, I've read some alarming journal articles that suggest that exposure to red light can actually accelerate aging long-term. Interested to hear some professional opinions. Thank you
