What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy is a safe, non-invasive way to improve your skin health. It works by delivering red and infrared light to the skin, which can help to boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone and texture.
Planet Fitness offers red light therapy in all of its locations, so you can enjoy the benefits of this treatment no matter where you live. To use red light therapy at Planet Fitness, simply follow these steps:

3. Stand in front of the red light panel, making sure that your entire face is within the target area.
4. Hold still for 3-5 minutes while the light penetrates your skin.
5. Repeat 2-3 times per week for best results.
How does it work?
Red light therapy is a type of phototherapy that uses red low-level wavelengths of light to treat various skin conditions, such as wrinkles, scars, and psoriasis. Phototherapy with red light is sometimes referred to as “red light therapy,” “infrared therapy,” or “LED therapy.”
Red light therapy works by increasing the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen and elastin are two proteins that are responsible for the structure and elasticity of the skin. As we age, our bodies produce less and less collagen and elastin, which can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Red light therapy can be used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. Red light therapy can also be used to treat conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.
To use red light therapy at Planet Fitness, you will need to purchase a membership or day pass. You can then book an appointment for a red light therapy session at the front desk. During your session, you will be positioned in front of a panel of LED lights that will emit red and infrared light. The session will last for 15-20 minutes.
What are the benefits?
Red light therapy has a number of benefits, including:
-Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
-Improving skin texture
-Treating acne
-Reducing inflammation
-Speeding up wound healing
-Improving circulation
-Stimulating collagen production
When used regularly, red light therapy can help to give you a more youthful appearance by smoothing out wrinkles, improving skin texture, and increasing collagen production. It can also help to treat acne and reduce inflammation.
