How Red Light Therapy Can Help Reduce Redness After Aesthetic Treatments

At Erase & Embrace Tattoo Removal in Temecula, we’re all about helping you get the results you want—with as little downtime as possible. Whether you’re coming in for microneedling, laser tattoo removal, or a laser facial, one common side effect is temporary redness or inflammation right after your session.

That’s where Celluma Red Light Therapy comes in. It’s one of the best-kept secrets in the aesthetic world for speeding up healing, calming irritation, and getting you back to your day faster.


First—What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses low-wavelength red light (typically in the range of 630–660 nm) to stimulate your skin’s natural healing processes.

It’s completely painless, doesn’t generate heat, and has been shown in studies to:

Reduce redness and inflammation
Boost collagen production
Speed up cell repair and regeneration
Improve circulation and oxygenation
Calm post-treatment sensitivity


Why We Recommend Red Light Therapy After Laser & Microneedling

If you’ve ever had a laser treatment or microneedling session, you know that temporary redness, warmth, or even slight swelling is totally normal. That’s your body’s natural response as it begins to heal.

But adding the Celluma Red Light Therapy immediately post-treatment helps calm that inflammation faster, reduce visible redness, and kickstart your skin’s repair process.

We especially recommend it after:

  • Microneedling (especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin)
  • Laser tattoo removal
  • Pigment or sun spot treatments

What to Expect During a Red Light Session

After your primary treatment, we’ll guide you to our RLT area, where you’ll relax under a specialized LED panel for about 10–20 minutes. The red light is gentle—no UV, no heat, and no discomfort.

Most clients describe it as warm, soothing, and surprisingly relaxing. Some even use the time to meditate or nap.


The Science Behind Red Light Therapy

So how does red light actually work?

Red Light Therapy stimulates mitochondrial function in your skin cells—the part of the cell that produces energy (ATP). More ATP = faster cellular repair, more collagen synthesis, and reduced inflammation.

In clinical studies, RLT has been shown to:

  • Reduce erythema (redness) and swelling
  • Enhance wound healing
  • Support collagen and elastin regeneration
  • Improve skin texture and tone over time

It’s also safe for all skin types and tones, which makes it a universal post-treatment solution.


Should You Add Red Light Therapy to Your Treatment Plan?

If you’re looking to:

Reduce redness and downtime
Speed up skin healing
Improve your overall results
Look and feel better, faster

—then yes, Red Light Therapy is a smart addition to your aesthetic routine.

At Erase & Embrace in Temecula, we often include RLT as part of your post-care plan when needed. We also offer standalone red light sessions for clients who want regular skin-boosting support between more intensive treatments.
