Experts confirm: the LED treatment with red light is remarkable in calming inflammatory skin conditions, reducing wrinkles through collagen stimulation, and also counteracting hair thinning.
This is not a passing trend without real foundations: red light LED therapy boasts many benefits for the skin, and beyond. This type of treatment, proudly non-invasive, has undoubtedly gained popularity thanks to testimonials from stars who are fans of red light therapy, from Kourtney Kardashian, who many years ago shared on Instagram a story showing her wearing a red LED light mask, to Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson, and Jennifer Aniston. But what are the real effects of red light therapy, also highlighted by a recent study by Fresha? We asked two experts who enthusiastically offer a red LED light protocol in their respective practices.
The benefits of red LED light treatment

Usage advice for red light therapy
Explains skin expert Yana Batalava, founder of Yanabeaute in Milan: «red LED light is generally safe for all skin types, but it is particularly recommended for skin showing clear signs of aging, or with sun damage and inflammation. It is better to avoid its use in cases of health conditions such as porphyria, and also if taking medications that increase light sensitivity, due to the risk of photosensitive reactions. Combining red light with LED lights of other colors is beneficial: it is an excellent way to achieve a complete and synergistic skin care protocol, addressing multiple blemishes and needs. For example, blue LED light is effective against acne thanks to its antibacterial properties, while green LED light can help reduce spots and redness. Using multiple colors in the same session can therefore target different skin issues simultaneously, maximizing the treatment’s benefits».
