Red light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to support healthier-looking skin and enhance your overall rejuvenation plan. By delivering targeted wavelengths of light to the skin, this treatment may help support collagen production, calm visible redness, and encourage the skin’s natural recovery processes.
At AW Plastic Surgery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, red light therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or as a complement to other aesthetic services, depending on your goals. Whether you are looking to refresh dull skin, support recovery after treatment, or explore non-invasive options for skin rejuvenation, our team can help you determine whether red light therapy is a good fit.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also sometimes referred to as LED light therapy or photobiomodulation, uses low-level red and near-infrared light energy to support natural cellular activity within the skin. Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, red light therapy does not damage the skin’s surface, making it a comfortable option for patients looking for a gentle approach with little to no downtime.
This treatment is often used to support overall skin health and may help improve concerns such as:
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Mild redness or visible inflammation
- Skin recovery following certain aesthetic treatments
Because red light therapy is highly versatile, it may be recommended on its own or as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan.
Are You a Candidate for Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy may be a great option for patients who want to improve their skin without downtime, discomfort, or invasive treatment. It is often a good fit for those looking for a gentle way to support healthier skin, maintain results from other treatments, or enhance their skincare routine with professional in-office care.
You may be a candidate if you are interested in:
- Supporting collagen production
- Improving overall skin tone and texture
- Refreshing tired or aging skin
- Enhancing recovery after select treatments
- Exploring non-invasive skin rejuvenation options
The best way to determine candidacy is through a consultation with our team. We will review your concerns, medical history, and treatment goals to recommend the most appropriate approach for your skin.
The Red Light Therapy Process at AW Plastic Surgery
Consultation: Your experience begins with a personalized consultation at AW Plastic Surgery. During this visit, we will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and determine whether red light therapy makes sense as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader rejuvenation plan with complementary services such as BBL laser treatment or dermal fillers that may enhance your overall results.
The Treatment Session: Red light therapy sessions are typically quick and comfortable, often lasting just 10 to 20 minutes depending on the treatment area and your individualized plan. During the session, you will relax while the light treatment is delivered to the targeted area. Most patients find the experience soothing, with little more than a gentle warming sensation.
Treatment Course: While some patients appreciate a refreshed appearance after early sessions, red light therapy generally works best as a series of treatments. Because results develop gradually, consistency is often key to achieving the best outcome.
Recovery and Results: There is typically little to no downtime after red light therapy. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Wilson's attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of his work. I HIGHLY recommend him! His nurses and staff are very attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring, making the recovery process smooth and stress-free. I'd give more than 5 stars if Google reviews let me.
Gale P.
Dr. Wilson called me personally after the surgery to see how I was doing! Who does that today? Anytime I needed to speak to someone in his office they called me back within minutes! His surgical skills are meticulous and he is a perfectionist! I couldn’t be happier.

AW Plastic Surgery is the best! From the minute I entered the office I felt comfortable and relaxed! Dr Anthony and his entire staff were informative and helpful, but more importantly, just great people. Truly an incredible experience from start to finish.
