On the application of glycolic acid before red light therapy
Those who want to use red light therapy often think about whether glycolic acid can be used before it. Glycolic acid has unique characteristics and has a great effect on the skin. It can exfoliate, remove the old cells on the surface of the skin, make the skin regenerate, radiate, and increase the permeability of the skin.

Red light therapy aims to use specific wavelengths of red light to penetrate the skin, reach the deep layers of the skin, promote cell metabolism, stimulate collagen production, and help the skin repair and regeneration.

If glycolic acid is used before red light therapy, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that after exfoliation of glycolic acid, the skin permeability is increased, the red light is easier to penetrate, and the curative effect may be enhanced. And the skin is new, and the response to red light stimulation may be more sensitive, which can better achieve the effect of repair and regeneration.

However, there are also disadvantages. After using glycolic acid, the skin may be temporarily sensitive, the stratum corneum becomes thinner, and the defense is reduced. At this time, red light therapy may cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, etc. And if excessive use of glycolic acid damages the skin, under the stimulation of red light, the repair process may be more complicated, which is not conducive to skin recovery.

Therefore, it is prudent to use glycolic acid before red light therapy. Check the skin characteristics first, and those with sensitive skin need to be cautious. And when using glycolic acid, it is advisable to follow the appropriate amount and moderation, wait for the skin to slow down after use, and then perform red light therapy, which may avoid harm and benefit, so that the two can cooperate to achieve the ideal skin care effect.
