NAD+ plays a role in skin health and aging. Here’s what the research says. NAD+’s Role in Skin 1. Collagen Production NAD+-dependent enzymes support: Collagen synthesis Elastin production Skin structure maintenance 2. DNA Repair Skin cells are constantly exposed to: UV damage Environmental toxins Oxidative stress NAD+ supports DNA repair mechanisms that fix this damage. 3. Cellular Energy Skin cells need energy for: Cell turnover Wound healing Barrier function Moisture retention Research Findings NMN and Skin 2021 (Cell Reports): ...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and the foundation of youthful skin. Red light therapy is one of the most effective ways to boost collagen production. What is Collagen? Collagen provides structure to: Skin (firmness and elasticity) Bones (strength and density) Joints (cartilage and connective tissue) Blood vessels (flexibility and integrity) Collagen production declines ~1% per year after age 25.

Eczema affects 31 million Americans. Can red light therapy help calm the inflammation? How RLT May Help Eczema 1. Inflammation Reduction RLT reduces inflammatory markers: Decreases cytokines that drive eczema Calms overactive immune response Reduces redness and swelling 2. Skin Barrier Support RLT may strengthen the skin barrier: Supports ceramide production Improves moisture retention Reduces transepidermal water loss 3. Itch Relief By reducing inflammation: Less itching Reduced scratching Better sleep Clinical Evidence Limited But Promising Some studies show improvement in atopic dermatitis Inflammation reduction is well-proven More research needed for eczema specifically Treatment Protocol Parameter Recommendation Wavelength 660nm (red light) Duration 5-10 minutes per area Frequency Daily Distance 6-12 inches Timeline 4-8 weeks for improvement Important Notes RLT is not a cure for eczema Continue prescribed treatments Consult your dermatologist Individual responses vary Related Articles Red Light Therapy for Skin Care Red Light Therapy Safety

Psoriasis affects 8 million Americans. Red light therapy may help manage symptoms. How RLT May Help Psoriasis 1. Slows Cell Turnover Psoriasis involves rapid skin cell growth. RLT: May slow abnormal cell proliferation Reduces plaque formation Normalizes skin cell cycle 2. Reduces Inflammation RLT calms the overactive immune response: Decreases inflammatory cytokines Reduces redness and swelling Calms irritated skin 3. Promotes Healing RLT supports tissue repair: Stimulates healthy skin cell growth Reduces scarring Improves skin texture Clinical Evidence Phototherapy History Psoriasis has been treated with light therapy for decades: ...

Stretch marks affect up to 80% of people. Can red light therapy help reduce their appearance? How RLT May Help Stretch Marks 1. Collagen Remodeling Stretch marks are caused by collagen breakdown. RLT: Stimulates new collagen production Helps remodel scar tissue Improves skin structure 2. Increased Blood Flow Better circulation to stretch marks: Delivers nutrients for repair Removes damaged tissue Promotes healing 3. Reduced Inflammation Chronic inflammation in stretch mark tissue: ...
