Shedding Some Light on Tanning and Red Light Therapy: Red Light Therapy vs. Tanning

Tanning and red light therapy are two services that people can find in their local tanning salons. However, only red light therapy is found in dermatologist clinics. This preference to red light therapy over tanning is because of three differences between the two namely: the light used for the treatment, the cells they stimulate, and their effects on skin health.

UV Rays vs. Red Light

The most basic and most essential difference between tanning and red light therapy is the light that they use. While the harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays are used in the tanning process, a gentler red light is required in the red light therapy. Because of this, dermatologists strongly advise against tanning.

According to various scientific studies and researches, UV rays are harmful to the skin. Although these rays can give people that beautiful sun-kissed look, too much exposure to UV rays can cause a plethora of skin problems even skin cancer. With tanning it seems that aesthetics give precedent to health, and this is something that dermatologists and skin care experts cannot stand. However, too little sun is also not beneficial at all. The trick is to find the right balance of light exposure for people, something that red light therapy promotes.

After extensive researches and trials, NASA scientists found that using red light is extremely beneficial to both plant and human life. Initially used as growth light for plants in space, the red light was later on used to speed up the healing process of astronauts’ wounds in space. Further research allowed found that aside from healing wounds, red light can also stimulate the skin’s production of collagen and elastin.

So, while tanning is the prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays, red light therapy is a NASA-researched and dermatologist-approved therapy that produces the most positive effects on human skin.

Melanin vs. Collagen and Elastin

Another major difference between tanning and red light therapy is the cells that they stimulate. Although increased cell production is good, triggering different cells produces different effect. As tanning stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin, red light therapy stimulates the skin’s production collagen and elastin.

Melanin is the skin’s pigmentation, and tanning stimulates its production. However, it is important to know that increased melanin production is the skin’s defense mechanism against harmful light. This means that when people subject themselves to tanning, they are actually trying to harm themselves and their bodies are trying to cope and prevent further damage. No wonder dermatologists strongly advise against it!

On the other hand, red light therapy encourages the production of collagen and elastin. These two components are responsible for the texture, firmness, elasticity, and over-all appearance. Furthermore, collagen and elastin are crucial for the skin’s repair. That is why NASA has been using red light technology to heal the astronaut wounds for years.

As tanning excites the body’s defense mechanism of melanin production, red light therapy encourages skin health and repair.

Premature Aging vs. Anti-Aging

Lastly, as continuous and prolonged tanning does not only promote premature aging and possibly skin cancer. Red light therapy, however, is all for anti-aging and skin health.

Tanned skin undeniably has a certain appeal to it, but various studies have shown that tanning before the age of 35 increases the chances for the appearance of premature wrinkles. Although little sun is bad, too much sun is far worse. Scientific studies found that too much exposure to the sun and UV rays increases the chances of having melanoma or skin cancer.

As studies enumerate the disastrous effects of too much UV rays, experts found that red light therapy is strongly associated with anti-aging. With an increased production of collagen and elastin, the skin looks clearer, brighter, and younger. Blemishes and swelling is eradicated and youthful natural glow is restored. This is why, unlike tanning, experts say that multiple use of the red light therapy is allowed and encouraged.

Hence, it is very clear that the safe, pain-free, and non-invasive red light therapy is the better skin treatment between the two.
