Transform Your Skin with Advanced Light Therapy at JIYA
Aging skin losing its radiance and elasticity? Collagen, the protein that provides structural support to skin, tends to decrease with age, leading to loss of elasticity, expression lines and wrinkles. Fine lines and dullness making you look older than you feel? Photobiomodulation stimulates collagen production, which improves the general appearance of the skin. At the Jindal Institute for Youthful Aging (JIYA), Dr. Sumeet Jindal offers cutting-edge Photobiomodulation therapy that harnesses the power of light to restore your skin’s natural glow and vitality from within.
What Is Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a procedure that uses light to modulate cellular functions and biological processes. Also known as red light therapy or low-level laser therapy, PBM works by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria, allowing cells to work more efficiently, repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation.
This FDA-cleared treatment uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (typically 600-700 nm) that penetrate deep into the dermis. Red LED light reaches the dermis and stimulates fibroblasts to increase production of collagen and elastin. Unlike aggressive procedures, PBM therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation without downtime or discomfort.
How Does PBM Therapy Rejuvenate Your Skin?
The science behind PBM therapy reveals its powerful effects on skin health at the cellular level. The treatment stimulates collagen production, increases fibroblast production which makes collagen, increases blood circulation to tissue, and reduces inflammation in cells.
When red light energy enters your skin cells, it triggers multiple beneficial processes:
Collagen Stimulation
Phototherapy stimulates collagen production through cellular photobiomodulation effects. This natural collagen boost helps restore skin structure and firmness lost to aging.
Enhanced Cellular Energy
PBM enhances mitochondrial ATP production at the cellular level. This increased energy allows skin cells to repair and regenerate more effectively.
Improved Circulation
The therapy promotes better blood flow to treated areas, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen while removing cellular waste products.
Reduced Inflammation
PBM therapy naturally decreases inflammatory responses in skin tissue, helping calm redness and irritation while promoting healing.
Key Benefits of PBM for Skin Rejuvenation
Studies show overall improvement in skin quality with PBM, reversing visible signs of aging with results lasting up to one month after stopping treatment.
Wrinkle Reduction
PBM helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. The increased collagen production plumps skin from within, smoothing out lines naturally.
Improved Skin Texture
The therapy improves facial texture by promoting cellular turnover and enhancing the skin’s natural renewal process.
Enhanced Skin Elasticity
Regular PBM treatments restore bounce and firmness to aging skin by rebuilding the collagen and elastin matrix.
Reduced Hyperpigmentation
PBM has been shown to be effective in treating dyspigmentation. The therapy helps even out skin tone and reduce age spots.
Accelerated Healing
PBM is widely used to accelerate healing after aggressive aesthetic treatments, reducing inflammation following procedures.
Natural Glow
By improving cellular function and circulation, PBM therapy restores your skin’s natural luminosity and healthy appearance.
