Benefits of Red Light Therapy and Light Therapy Machine

        From time to time, a new skincare trend pops up on our social media that seems both satisfying and hopeful. In this context, red light therapy is gaining popularity due to its non-invasive and painless approach. The promise of Red Light Therapy (RLT) to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and fine lines, among other things, makes us wonder: Is Red Light Therapy (RLT) a beauty secret you should know, or is it just a fad?
        Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a therapy that uses low-intensity red light wavelengths to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Treatment is usually done by exposing the skin to red light, devices, or lasers.
        Inside our skin cells are tiny energy sources called mitochondria that absorb red light and generate more energy. Experts say the benefits of red and near infrared light therapy at the cellular level include stimulating mitochondrial growth and function and speeding up wound healing.
        Red light therapy works by penetrating the skin to a depth of about 5 mm, stimulating the production of collagen and ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Collagen is the protein that gives skin elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while ATP is the molecule that provides energy to cells to help them function more efficiently. So you can say goodbye to those acne scars and premature wrinkles.
        One of the most important benefits of RLT is its ability to improve skin health. It has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture and tone. It can also help reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and age spots.
        RLT has also been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce pain and swelling in joints and muscles. This makes it an effective treatment for arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain.
        In addition to improving your skin, RLT can also help improve your sleep quality. We know that self-care breaks are just as important to skin health as daily skincare, so using red light to stimulate melatonin production can be an effective way to regulate sleep patterns and reduce insomnia.
        Despite promising research and results related to the use of red light, it is still unclear whether red light therapy (RLT) is effective for all of its intended uses, experts say. However, the benefits associated with this device are enough for you to check it out for yourself.
        If you want to try red light therapy yourself, there are many home devices available to test the effect of the treatment. However, we always recommend that you consult with a board-certified dermatologist before trying red light therapy on your own.
       However, if red light therapy sounds like the next best skincare treatment you need in your routine, we’ve put together a list of the best masks, wands, and equipment you can try for yourself.

        If you’ve been online in the last decade, chances are the names Hey, Fran, Hey, and Shameless Maya (aka Maya Washington) have popped up on your screen. These content creators touch every platform on the internet, spreading joy and helping women around the world live better lives. From Fran’s healing natural remedies to Maya’s words of wisdom, both content creators have built loyal followings by sharing honest, helpful, and vulnerable content. But in search of a life that brings more creativity, freedom and space, these digital mavens have moved from bustling big cities (New York and Los Angeles respectively) to more remote locations, taking popular digital branding with them.
        Collaborating with Meta Elevate — an online learning platform that provides one-on-one mentoring, digital skills training, and community for Black, Hispanic, and Latino businesses — xoNecole recently partnered with Francesca Medina and Maya Washington to live IG Frank Talk about how they take that turn by changing your environment to ultimately bring out the best in yourself and your work. Fran is a native New Yorker who moved to Portland, Oregon from New York a year ago. Feeling overexcited by the hustle and bustle of city life, Fran heads to the Pacific Northwest in search of a quieter life.
        Her transnational movements are the backdrop for her new campaign with Meta Elevate, a fitting ad that shows how you can level up from anywhere with free resources like Meta Elevate. Similarly, Maya ended her life in Los Angeles and moved to Sweden, where she now lives with her husband and adorable daughter. Maya’s life is more rural and farming than California, but she thrives in this peaceful new environment as she finds her way as a new mom.
        While Maya steadily builds and develops her digital brand as a self-proclaimed “early retired mom,” Fran is redefining her career. “It’s been a year since I moved from New York to Portland, Oregon,” Furlan said. “I think what I’m trying to figure out right now is how to slow down and still be successful.” The slow pace of life has opened up so many creative possibilities and opportunities for these ladies and our conversations with them are much needed. , A reminder that your success does not depend on where you are … especially that the Internet is at your fingertips. Access to communities like Meta Elevate can help Black, Hispanic, and Latino entrepreneurs and content creators connect with like-minded people and learn about new digital skills and tools that can help scale their businesses.
        In a pleasant moment during the conversation, Fran gave Maya flowers in recognition of her pioneering work in the digital space. When Impact was in its infancy and the creators were just trying to find their way, Fran says Maya was way ahead of her time. “I think Maya is one of the pioneers of the digital space,” Fran said. “Maya is a one-man machine and I always tell her that she really is a game changer for how commercials, campaigns and videos in general should look.”
        When asked what advice she would give to content creators, Maya said the key is to be confident, even if you’re not seeing results yet. “Even if you put your heart and soul into it, it might not pay off the way you imagine it, it’s easy to see how simple it is,” she says. “Still acting in terms of love and authenticity. Have faith and do the work. Many people think positively, but that’s part of thinking. You also have to put your beliefs into the work and get it done.”
        To conclude, Fran encourages content creators and aspiring entrepreneurs to take advantage of Meta Elevate’s extensive offerings to learn how to build and grow businesses online. “It took me ten years to get to the point where I was in a commercial of this level,” she said. “In 2010, I didn’t have these resources. I love the partnership with Meta Elevate because they provide these resources for free. I just think of people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford this kind of education and information. So scaling is such a company seems to be yes”.

        At the studio in downtown Los Angeles, all eyes were on Chloe. Amid the clicks and cheers of the cameras, she gently moves her body against a dark background, now seductively pouting her lips, now piercingly looking into her eyes. Her brownie was adorned with a few jewels, which she asked to spice up the look, and she asked for the shoulder piece to be unrolled to better show off her neck (“I feel a little old,” she said of the original). direction). Her slim figure was tucked into a strapless bodysuit with a deep V neckline that complemented her plunging neckline.
        Though subtle, her quiet wardrobe is reminiscent of a woman who’s been here before and definitely knows what she’s doing. She is only 24 years old, she is a “powerful” girl in training – polite, uncompromising and learning the power of her own voice.
        “Sometimes I hesitate to really speak my mind and talk about myself and what I believe in,” she admitted to me later a few weeks after the photo shoot. “I was always scared, but now I understand that I have to do this in order to earn respect as a black woman – a young black woman – who is still searching for her identity. You know, I realized I can’t get enough of keeping my mouth shut. If I just keep my mouth shut because I’m afraid of what people will think of me, that’s not a way of life.”
        For Chloe, the journey of a woman is about accepting herself without giving in to what others think of her. Above the waist, she represents everything you can imagine. A gorgeous goddess with a sex appeal she longs to embrace but can’t radiate. But unbeknownst to anyone who wasn’t there, her lower body was covered in a white dress, and surprisingly, the girl boasted “because I have such a big ass” in her first hit “Have mercy.” “.
        But that’s the beauty of Chloe. There is more to her than meets the eye. A few sexy photos scattered across your Instagram feed won’t tell you much. Like the photo frame illusion she depicts from the waist up, what we know about the singer is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s more below the surface.
        Hours later, Chloe leans back in her chair and her bun transforms from formal to one that appears to be inspired by Basquiat. It was pure art and, at her request, the costume had no wigs that day. She fully embraced her natural hair, a decision that was not always socially acceptable.
        In suburban Atlanta, Georgia (Mableton, to be exact), Chloe begins to explore the basics of her self-image. At an early age, she and her younger sister Holly caught the attention of their parents with their vocals and technique in front of the camera. They were soon sent to local talent shows and auditions, and eventually broke into the digital space by releasing song covers on YouTube.
        It was during these early years that Khloe first learned that the entertainment industry can be ruthless towards those who don’t meet certain standards of beauty. Although the then three-year-old played Lilly, the younger version of Beyoncé’s character in Fight Against Temptation, casting agents demanded that her natural pose be replaced with a more Euro-centric hairstyle. Ironic, given that as a child, Chloe thought her hair was no different from her peers’ hair. “I especially remember when we were preschoolers we had to draw self-portraits and I would draw myself in a regular straight ponytail like I had hair in a ponytail,” she said. “I never saw myself differently.”
        Chloe would also learn the true meaning of the phrase, which later became a statement posted on her bedroom mirror: “Don’t let the world dim your light.” roles. However, when they hit the headlines, they’ll have the last laugh as the “braided teenage duo” who signed a million-dollar deal with Parkwood Entertainment and received coveted care under the tutelage of world-famous superstar Opportunity.
        While this may be the end of the beautiful tale of self-affirmation, the truth is that this is only the beginning of her evolutionary story. For most girls, the transition to womanhood takes place in the comfort of their own world, often limited by the number of people they allow access to. But for Chloe, it happened in front of millions of critical eyes who were just waiting for an opportunity to uplift her or analyze her with baseless comments.
        A lot of people in her position can’t stand that kind of pressure. But Chloe handles it well. “I feel like we are all human and we have the right to interpret things the way we want,” she said. “I release art into the world and await interpretation. I realized that I won’t always be liked by everyone, and that’s okay.”
        Chloe is not the first artist to be criticized for carnal content, and certainly not the last. In 2010, when 24-year-old Ciara posted her “Ride” video, she fought BET and went into exile. In 2006, 25-year-old Beyoncé faced backlash for Deja Vu.
        So much so that over 5,000 fans have signed an online petition asking the record company to remake the video because it is “too pornographic”. Even 27-year-old Janet made headlines when she swapped her innocent look for a more lewd look in the 1993 issue of Janet.
        For young black R&B divas, public denunciation seemed almost a sure way to stardom. Good girls seem to “turn bad” when they embrace the depths of femininity, and fans only love you symbolically. But Chloe has learned not to obey someone else’s opinion, but to control the development of history. As the saying goes, it’s hard for a good woman to go down in history. If sexuality is her weapon, she uses it well.
        On set, Khloe radiated Aphrodite energy in an off-the-shoulder apple red dress with a high slit. In between shots, she utters the words of Yebba’s “Boomerang”, which constantly and repeatedly echo throughout the space at my recommendation. It’s late, but Chloe warms up as her eyes stare into the burning girl.
        Through music, she explores the depths of her being, a journey that seems to be based on self-discovery. While their debut album The Kids Are Alright (2018) features young Chloe and Halle, allowing their generation to embrace themselves by finding their place in the world, and their second album Ungodly Hour (2020) shows the Bailey sisters shedding the veil innocence. for more impeccable bravado.
        Fans are looking forward to Khloe revealing her identity on her debut solo album, In Pieces. In an interview with People, she admitted that releasing her first project without her sister was “scary”. “It was a moment of self-doubt and I thought, ‘Can I do this without my sister?’
        Khloe has never been shy about sharing her insecurities or vulnerability, and it’s all reflected in the 14-song album. “I hope people enjoy listening to this and realizing that they are not alone and that it is okay to be vulnerable and open and open because none of us are perfect; we are all far from it. I think when we all admit it It’s the cure when it’s a little more than just a faux pas.”
        With the gift of time, the self-proclaimed “Girl in Love” has more romantic and heartbreaking encounters. Love songs that were once sung to beautiful riffs and melodies were no longer just abstract lyrics, but were replaced by real experiences, which, according to her, were always present in the music.
        For example, in her single “Pray It Away”, she thinks about seeking healing from God rather than taking revenge on her former lover for his infidelity. “I’m very vulnerable to anything that has to do with art,” she said. “I am completely who I am and I am completely transparent. So that’s pretty much who I am and who I am now.”
        Has Chloe been in a relationship? This is yet to be said. Sure, she’s linked to some potential lovers, but dating in the digital age isn’t as easy as double-tapping or dropping a heart emoji. This requires a level of trust and vulnerability that is difficult to earn and easy to abuse. Asking her to let her guard down is potentially letting her down. “Honestly, dating is hard right now because you really have to be on the lookout and pay attention to who is really around you. You know, I am a sincere person, and I love a lot.
        “So when I meet someone I really, really like, I have a hard time seeing other people and I tend to get attached. You know, I don’t know, it’s… it’s terrible.”
        While broken hearts make for beautiful music (Adele in line), Chloe’s prayers are all about pursuing joy. What it looks like. Well, she’s still figuring it out herself. “Honestly, I’m the type of person who really learns things just by experiencing them. So I can see and look at my parents and look at the love relationships that I see in my life and it’s like, “Oh, I want it. I would like to have it. But I also have to test [love] myself to see what my shortcomings or faults may be, or to see what my strengths are. I feel like it’s for real. It’s about self-reflection. … Even though our foundation is our family, that’s our foundation, we are still our own individuality and we have to figure out some things about ourselves that may be different from what we grew up with. Parents see it differently.”
        She told me that her ideal boyfriend is someone who she feels safe with to be fun and goofy, but who also gives her the opportunity to be the boss lady chasing her dreams. A man who understands this, just because the world praises her, does not mean that she does not want to hear these words from his mouth or feel them in his touch. It would have been nice if he showed up on set after a hard day at work with vegan cinnamon rolls. You know, essentials. “I love it when the people I’m with keep telling me that they love me and that I look beautiful because I do too. aloud. I want everyone I work with to do the same, be very open. Say me that you Love Me. Tell me what you love about me because I do the same for you because I am that kind of person.”
       She was married to the game before she met her match, and as it stands, it seems like the perfect marriage.
        On stage at the 2021 American Music Awards, Khloe cemented her status as a force to be reckoned with. This is a full circle moment. In 2012, bright-eyed, baby-faced Chloe and Holly took to the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and shocked the audience by performing songs from their future mentors. Ellen gave the sisters tickets to the AMAs and promised that they would return and have a bright future. Nine years later, Chloe made her debut, descending from the sky in a snow-white cape and matching cropped bodysuit. This is her first time on stage at an award ceremony and she has been in the audience before.
        It’s clear she’s in her element as she shakes and fidgets and thumps as she counts to eight. Like her VMA performance a few months ago, and as she continues to perform on many other stages, she brings an energy that compares her to the most beloved Queen Bey. It’s an honorable claim considering how few R&B divas get credit for their entertaining abilities. It was on those stages, in front of hundreds of astonished eyes and millions of people watching TV at home, that she told me she felt the sexiest. powerful, even.
        She was influenced not only by comments about her image and rumors inflated by the media. Mentally, she competes with herself. The desire to be better than she can be burns in her head with every performance, every production and every time she enters a booth. Previously, she could share this burden with her sister. Being part of a duo meant that she could turn to Holly for quiet encouragement and encouragement without exchanging a single word. But going on stage lately meant going solo. Even though Khloe is a stunning five-time Grammy-nominated star, she doesn’t shy away from the fact that sometimes we can be our own worst critics.
        Over the past year, she has accepted herself for who she is, while overcoming the fear of not being who she was meant to be. While the world waits to see Chloe win, the real victory lies in the days she chooses herself and continues to move towards her goals every day. “Honestly, I can’t think of anything. But I want to pray a lot. I talk to God more and just try to do things to calm my mind and breathe.”
        Much to give and much to ask. She chose this path for a reason. Once she fully accepts that everything she needs to be is already within her, she will become an unstoppable force. “My grandmother Elizabeth just passed away and my middle name is her [name]. So I feel like I really have a responsibility to live up to her legacy on this earth. I hope I can.”
