Hollywood’s Hot New Secret: Unveiling the Red Light Revolution (and Beyond) in Skincare

This desire for beauty and in particular the search for the Fountain of Youth in Hollywood has taken celebrities down some rather wacky roads. But recently, a new trend appears, and, to some extent, it can be called both revolutionary and, at the same time, rather, umm…bright. This is about Red Light Therapy and Hollywood celebrities are rosy with the anticipation of the health benefits it brings.

We no longer have to guess from a post on Facebook or an Instagram story of the beauty regimen that someone is using Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Miranda Kerr, and Lady Gaga are proudly flaunting their light-based wellness routines online. Gwyneth and Miranda have been vocal about their love for infrared saunas, while Lady Gaga’s post with a futuristic red mask has fueled endless speculation.

Beyond Red Light: Unveiling the Spectrum of Light Therapies

However, the story doesn’t stop at red light. Celebrities are embracing a wider range of light-based therapies to achieve optimal health and a radiant complexion. Let’s delve deeper:

  • Jennifer Aniston and the Power of Infrared Saunas: Aniston is a big proponent of infrared saunas, using them 5-6 times a week for post-workout detoxification and glowing skin. Infrared saunas use invisible light waves to penetrate the body, promoting sweating and potentially aiding in relaxation and weight loss.
    US Cryotherapy gave a shoutout to Jennifer Aniston for her dedication to infrared saunas and mentioned their exclusive sauna deals.
  • Gwyneth Paltrow’s Glowing Devotion: Gwyneth Paltrow is a long-time advocate for infrared saunas, crediting them with increased relaxation and a healthy glow. Her endorsement in a Goop feature further solidified the trend’s popularity.
  • Miranda Kerr’s Holistic Haven: Miranda Kerr is a fan of HigherDose, a wellness company known for its infrared saunas and chromotherapy treatments. Chromotherapy utilizes different colors of light to address various concerns, adding a holistic touch to her beauty routine.
  • Lady Gaga’s Light for Life: Lady Gaga’s battle with fibromyalgia has led her to explore various therapies, including infrared saunas and cold exposure. She finds the combination helpful in detoxifying her body and managing chronic pain.

Red Light Therapy: Science Meets Celebrity

That being said, infrared saunas and chromotherapy are more general in their use while red light therapy is applied only to the skin. Scientists have claimed that these red LEDs can boost amount of collagens needed by skin to bring out youthful skin, erase skin lines and ravel, and increase blood circulation. The flexibility of panels, as well as red-traffic devices, including those in panel and handheld formats, also plays to celebrities’ benefit. Along with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston, actress Emma Roberts is also a big fan of red light therapy and infrared saunas for her wellness regimen.

The Takeaway: Mapping out the New Future of Personalized Wellness

Popularization of phototherapies in Hollywood shows that the focus is gradually moving towards individualized and integrative types of health management. Therefore, even though what is currently trending is red light therapy and infrared saunas, these treatments are not all that they seem. Seeking the dermatologist’s opinion when implementing new therapy is important.

As it is clear first of all, it is necessary to mention that the main prerequisites of a healthy skin tone are connected with a rather complex strategy. Not only beauty therapies, but we have also witnessed how disciplined they are about their meals intake, water intake, makeup removal, and daily moisturization, and stress levels contributing to that pretty skin. Red light and infrared saunas should therefore be considered as powerful boosters to this all-encompassing care.
