How to treat a wound and help minimise your risk of scarring – PART 4: Try red light therapy to increase blood flow to speed up healing.
Try red light therapy
Red light and infrared have been proven to help boost collagen production and increase localised blood flow to speed up the healing process.
The better the lamps, the better the results obviously. Search for Healite, Medilux or Omnilux at professional joints.
Or, I you’re willing to invest at home, try the Lightstim or Omnilux brands (they also have the benefit of anti-ageing and the Omnilux is good for acne/rosacea too).
But you can get exposure from the original sources of infrared and red light during sunrise and sunset – as well as a boost to your Vit D. It’s usually a lower UV risk at this time too. Win win!
