Determination of the efficiency with which red light penetrates mouse skin under the conditions of this study.

Schematic diagram for testing the penetration of red light through the skin (a). An illuminometer was used to detect the light intensity of the LED source before and after penetrating the skin (b). (c, d) Schematic diagram illustrating the measurement of red light penetration efficiency in skin tissue (c). The skin penetration efficiency of the LED source is represented by the ratio of the illuminometer readings under direct illumination and illumination through the skin at the same distance for visible red LED sources (d).

Mechanism of anti-aging action of red light.

Red light can reduce SIRT4 signaling in keratinocytes, thereby reactivating lipid metabolism and increasing levels of acetyl-CoA. This promotes histone acetylation, which in turn remodels the expression of age-related inflammatory factors and genes.
