Red Light Therapy with the LightStim®: Clinically Proven Skin Rejuvenation

Red light therapy is not all created equal. LightStim is the standard for most dermatological research studies that have been done. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support skin health, collagen production, and cellular repair. At Metzner Aesthetics, we use the LightStim, a medical-grade, FDA-cleared system trusted by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and aesthetic practices worldwide.

This treatment is gentle, relaxing, and effective—making it an excellent option for patients focused on long-term skin health and recovery.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) uses targeted wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity.

Unlike treatments that injure or resurface the skin, red light therapy works by:

• Supporting natural cellular repair

• Enhancing collagen and elastin production

• Improving circulation and oxygen delivery

• Reducing inflammation

It is completely non-invasive and requires no downtime.

​

What Makes the LightStim® Different?

The LightStim device is a high-output, professional system designed to deliver consistent, clinically effective light therapy over larger treatment areas.

Key advantages include:

• Medical-grade LED technology

• Optimized wavelengths for skin rejuvenation

• Even coverage for face, neck, and body

• Comfortable, hands-free treatment

This is not at-home red light therapy—it’s a clinical device designed for measurable results.

​

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

At the cellular level, red light therapy:

• Stimulates mitochondria (the cell’s energy source)

• Increases ATP production (cellular energy)

• Enhances collagen synthesis

• Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation

Over time, this leads to healthier, stronger, more resilient skin.

​

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Red light therapy may be ideal if you:

• Want to improve skin tone, texture, or firmness

• Are noticing early signs of aging

• Have sensitive or reactive skin

• Want a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment

• Are recovering from procedures like microneedling, peels, or injectables

It is safe for all skin types and tones when used appropriately.

​

Skin Concerns That Can Be Treated

Red light therapy can help improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Skin laxity and texture

• Dull or tired-appearing skin

• Redness and inflammation 

• Acne-prone or stressed skin

• Post-procedure healing and recovery

Results build gradually with consistent treatments.

​

What to Expect From Treatment

• Treatment time: 20–30 minutes

• Discomfort: None

• Downtime: None

• Results: Progressive improvement with a series

Many patients describe treatments as relaxing and restorative.

​

Red Light Therapy as a Complementary Treatment

Red light therapy pairs exceptionally well with:

• Microneedling & mesoneedling

• PRP or PRF-m treatments

• Chemical peels

• Injectable treatments (although cannot be used on the same day as botox or filler)

It helps calm inflammation, support healing, and enhance overall results—making it an excellent addition to comprehensive skin treatment plans.

​

A Skin-Health–First Philosophy

At Metzner Aesthetics, red light therapy is not positioned as a quick fix. It is used intentionally to:

• Support long-term skin health

• Enhance recovery after procedures

• Improve skin quality gradually and naturally

• Strengthen the skin over time

This approach prioritizes consistency, safety, and biologic skin support.
