Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a burgeoning treatment that is showing promise in treating wrinkles, redness, acne, scars, and other signs of aging. At our boutique clinic in Cincinnati, many of our patients are re-discovering the self-confidence and joys that Red Light Therapy can bring to their skin improvement.

Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses a low wavelength of red light to improve your skin’s appearance by reducing wrinkles, scars, redness, or acne. It does this by influencing your mitochondria, considered to be your body’s “power plant”. When these cells are impacted by additional energy, it causes the other cells to become energized, which in turn repairs your skin, boosts new cell growth and enhances skin rejuvenation.
The following are just some of the ways that Red Light Therapy is beneficial to you:
Even though RLT is still a relatively new technology, it is safe, effective, and can be used on any skin type and skin color. Our Cincinnati patients have benefited from improvements in the following areas:

If you are interested in trying Red Light Therapy in the Cincinnati area, the first step is to contact Elite Medicine and schedule your consultation. When you come in for this appointment, you will be able to meet with Dr. Shelli Ridge who will be able to address all of your questions, look at the area or areas of treatment needed, and discuss the best treatment plan for you. After crafting your treatment plan, and if you agree with it, our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you select the best date and time for your treatment.
When you come in for your Red Light Therapy, you should make sure that you have a clean and makeup-free face. You will begin by putting on safety goggles and lying still on your back. Your technician will place the Red Light Therapy device above your face. The device will emit very low-frequency waves into your skin, stimulating the mitochondria, which energize the other cells in your body.
The treatment usually lasts about 20 minutes.
Following your treatment, you will be able to return to your daily activities. It is strongly recommended to avoid the sun for the next several days and to apply quality sunscreen to ensure a positive and healthy recovery.
The cost of Red Light Therapy in Cincinnati will depend on several factors, but primarily how many treatments you will require.
