Red Light Therapy: The Non-Invasive Way To Treat Acne

by Dr. Kilcup | Mar 8, 2022 | Articles, red light therapy (photobiomodulation)

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Red Light therapy, has shown through extensive studies to improve acne and other skin conditions through regular treatments of 3-5 times a week. PBM actively boosts your cells with more energy, less inflammation, and a stronger ability to heal. This means that PBM helps get rid of acne, as well as hyperpigmentation, scars/wounds, leg ulcers, burns, cellulite and more without a single pill, cream, or serum. If it sounds too good to be true, it’s not! It truly is that good.

Red Light therapy is great for Acne!

Skin starts showing the first signs of aging around the late 20s to early 30s with wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and dyspigmentation (age spots). This is mostly due to how the body slowly starts to produce less collagen – a protein that helps hold you together. Amazingly, PBM actually helps your body to produce more collagen – causing you to look better! The added collagen helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and reduce skin discoloration. This makes PBM a really easy way to have better skin!

Why Use PBM Instead of Other Treatments?

Other treatments, like dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing, have intensive post-treatment care and may lead to complications such as pain, infection, bleeding, burns, scarring, and more. However, PBM does not have any of that. After Red Light Therapy treatment for acne, you can walk out of the appointment without pain. Another wonderful benefit of PBM is how it actually makes your skin absorb product better; which means that after treatment, you can apply a retin-a, moisturizer, eye cream – and get better results!

Overall, Photobiomodulation is the perfect way to improve acne, scarring, wrinkles, age spots, and many other skin conditions. If you have any of these skin problems, I suggest you book a PBM appointment today! Appointments are affordable and we have multiple payment options – including an UNLIMITED plan for $55 a month.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

Darrell is highly knowledgeable and really gets to the root of the problem. Unlike a lot of doctors, Darrell doesn't just throw prescriptions at issues. He will test and test - digging for the cause and then working on fixing the issue. He and his staff are professional, courteous, and a joy to be around.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
