## Resource

Red light therapy is everywhere right now—from luxury spas to at-home masks—but is it just another wellness trend, or is there real science behind the glow? In this episode of Polished Beauty , Dr. Daisy Ayim breaks down the biology of red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, and how specific wavelengths of light interact with your mitochondria to enhance cellular energy, collagen production, and tissue repair. From skin rejuvenation and acne to muscle recovery, inflammation, and even metabolic health, this conversation goes beyond surface beauty and into true cellular optimization. You’ll learn what actually works, what’s overhyped, and how to use red light therapy safely and effectively—especially for diverse skin tones. If you’re serious about leveling up your beauty, brain, and body from the inside out, this episode is your guide.
