Do red light therapy or home red light devices help produce collagen?

Question

As stated above

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It's not very effective for collagen building. Sculptra is a great product for improving collagen building, but for best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for you question, but I don't think there is a lot of science behind "LED light therapies" and permanent results.  Search of FDA approval of these devices and what they are approved to treat.  Bulk heating treatments work really well for collagen building and skin tightening.  We use a radio frequency (RF) device called Pelleve that produces a controlled amount of heat in the treated area to stimulate collagen production and skin tightening.  Best of luck.
