Great skin tone is the goal of many people, but affordability is often the stumbling block in treatment. Using the Photizo Blush light therapy device has been shown to produce tangible results in stimulating the production of collagen and fibroblasts, resulting in improved skin tone.
A fibroblast is the most common type of cell found in connective tissue. Fibroblasts secrete collagen proteins that are used to maintain a structural framework for many tissues. They also play an important role in healing wounds.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, especially type 1 collagen. It’s found in muscles, bones, skin, blood vessels, digestive system and tendons. Collagen benefits are so striking because this protein is what helps give our skin strength and elasticity, along with replacing dead skin cells. When it comes to our joints and tendons, in simplest terms, it’s the ‘glue’ that helps hold the body together.
As we age, our body’s collagen production begins to slow down, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Other lifestyle factors — like eating a diet high in sugar, smoking and high amounts of sun exposure — also contribute to depleting collagen levels.
The red and infrared light therapy used in the Photizo Blush has been shown to help with improving the overall skin tone, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
How will light therapy help to stimulate the production of collagen and fibroblasts for better skin tone?
- Increases circulation and the formation of new capillaries. This brings an immediate healthy glow to the skin, as new capillaries mean more oxygen and nutrients to each skin cell.
- Increases lymph system activity. This reduces swelling and puffiness, as the lymph system is actually made more efficient over time, resulting in healthier skin overall.
- Causes the release of ATP, or raw cellular energy. This provides energy to the cells to make the most of the additional blood, oxygen, nutrients, detoxification, growth, and repair.
