could be described as the degradation of the metabolic process. For as long as we can remember, humans have pursued ways of minimizing the effects of ageing.

So how can we safely and effectively reduce and even reverse the effects of ageing?

Collagen

When it comes to ageing, a significant factor that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and joint pain is due to a decrease in collagen levels. Collagen is the main structural protein found in your skin and other connective tissue. Collagen literally holds our bodies together.

Increased fibroblast proliferation is just one benefit of LED red light therapy. Fibroblasts make collagen fibers, so it stands to reason that the more, and healthier, fibroblasts we have in the skin, the more and better collagen fibers are made. And as we all know, collagen synthesis and maintenance is the bedrock of anti-ageing.

Healthy collagen levels are what give us a glowing complexion, firm skin, strong nails, dense bones, and healthy hair. It is also essential in keeping muscles, joints, and tendons in healthy working order. Simply put, the more our bodies produce collagen, the better we’ll look and feel as we get older.

Signs of ageing

Fibroblast cells are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, the two most common proteins in connective tissue. However, as we age, our fibroblasts become compromised resulting in lower levels of these proteins. We might start noticing decreased elasticity in our skin, wrinkles, and our joints may not move as freely as they used to. This is because lower levels of collagen lead to breakdowns in cartilage which can cause inflammation, soreness, stiffness, arthritis, and prolonged recovery time after physical activity. Other common signs of ageing can include:

Skin deterioration
Melasma
Arthritis
Inflammation
Chronic joint and muscle pain
Keratosis

If you're experiencing one or more of these signs, then it could be an indicator your collagen levels are deficient.

Now that we've established a base understanding of why collagen is essential as we age, let's look at the most groundbreaking and natural way to effectively generate more collagen in your body using the anti-ageing effect of LED light therapy.
