Frequently asked questions

The Incredible Powerhouses of Our Cells! Isn’t it fascinating to think about the tiny structures inside our cells called mitochondria? Just like plants harness sunlight through photosynthesis, these amazing little powerhouses absorb light and transform it into the energy we need to thrive!

Boosting Our Energy with ATP! When red light shines on our bodies, it sparks a wonderful interaction with our mitochondria, ramping up the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is basically our body’s energy superstar!

Energizing Our Cells! More ATP means each cell is buzzing with energy! With that boost, our cells can perform their unique jobs even better, heal themselves, and replicate efficiently.

A Positive Ripple Effect!
This remarkable process encourages collagen production, enhances blood circulation, and helps reduce inflammation, creating a lovely ripple effect that improves our overall health and speeds up healing.

Amazing Red Light Treatments! Thanks to its deep tissue benefits, red light therapy is a game-changer! It aids muscle recovery, rejuvenates our skin, and alleviates pain, ultimately enhancing our well-being and physical performance. How exciting is that?

Great question! The best time to schedule your appointment really depends on which benefits you value most. Here are some suggestions to help you decide:

Morning:
– Energize: Red light therapy in the morning can help you feel more alert and productive.

For the best results from your red light therapy, it’s a great idea to shower beforehand! Starting with clean skin free of lotions and creams allows the light to penetrate evenly and work its magic. 

After your session, it’s the perfect opportunity to nourish your skin with anti-aging products, moisturizers, or cosmetics, as the therapy boosts absorption. You might even enjoy soothing aloe vera gel for a delightful cooling effect!

Enjoy your therapy session and the wonderful benefits it brings!

The hours right after your light therapy session are super crucial for getting the best results possible! Your skin is extra receptive during this time, so let’s make the most of it by taking these essential steps to nurture your skin lovingly.

Protect Your Skin

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive after treatment, so it’s really important to take care of it.  

• Skip Harsh Skincare Products: For the next 24 to 48 hours, let’s keep things gentle! Avoid skincare products that have strong acids, retinoids, or any potential irritants. Your skin deserves a break, and a little TLC goes a long way!

• Gentle Cleansing Only: When it’s time to cleanse, opt for a mild, non-irritating cleanser to gently wash away any dirt or residue, without stripping away your skin’s precious natural oils. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing—it’s a simple step that helps avoid irritation and feels so comforting!

Keep Yourself Hydrated

Staying hydrated is key to helping your skin recover beautifully and enhancing the fabulous results of your light therapy session. Sometimes, your skin might feel a tad dehydrated, so let’s replenish that moisture!

• Drink Plenty of Water: Remember, hydration starts from the inside! Make sure to sip on your water throughout the day—aim for at least 8 glasses, and feel good knowing you’re keeping your skin happy and hydrated from within!

• Apply a Hydrating Serum: Treat your skin to a hydrating serum packed with hyaluronic acid or soothing aloe vera right after your treatment. Look for products that calm the skin and steer clear of irritants like alcohol or fragrances. Your skin will thank you!

Embrace a Healthier Lifestyle

Maximizing the benefits of your light therapy goes beyond just skincare products—our daily habits play a big role too! Here are some fun ways to support your skin’s healing journey:

• Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nourish yourself with delicious foods that are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Think vibrant fresh fruits, colorful veggies, and hearty fatty fish that help support your skin’s health from within!

• Manage Stress Levels: Stress can be a sneaky foe that negatively affects your skin. Take time to unwind and explore relaxation techniques that work for you—whether it’s meditation, yoga, or simply deep breathing. You deserve this time for yourself!

• Regular Sleep Routine: Ah, the beauty of a good night’s sleep! Aim for 7-9 hours each night to give your skin the chance to repair and rejuvenate. Sweet dreams lead to glowing skin!

By following these thoughtful steps, you will enhance the wonderful results of your light therapy session and nurture your skin in the best possible way. Here’s to radiant skin and a happy, healthy lifestyle!

For red light therapy, you’ll want to get the most out of your experience! The ideal approach is to wear as little clothing as you’re comfortable with—light and loose-fitting outfits made from breathable fabrics like cotton are just the ticket. This way, the light can make direct contact with your skin, giving you the best results.

Here are some quick tips to enhance your experience:

Minimal Clothing: Feel free to show off the areas you wish to treat by keeping things minimal!

Choose Breathable Fabrics: If you do wear clothing, opt for light and loose garments made of cotton or linen. This ensures the light penetrates your skin effortlessly.

Light Colors: Stick to lighter shades like white or pale gray. Dark colors can absorb light and reduce its effectiveness.

Avoid Tight Clothing: Loose fits are the way to go; they ensure the light can reach your skin without restrictions.

Happy healing!

Let’s shine a little light on wearing contacts or glasses during red light therapy!

First and foremost, eye protection is key! Although red light therapy is super safe, keeping your eyes shielded is still wise. That’s why we provide specialized glasses that filter out the right wavelengths to keep your eyes comfy and happy!

You can definitely wear contacts, but we often recommend closing your eyes and wearing our protective eyewear specifically for red light therapy. Some folks find that contacts can cause irritation, especially if they’re not well-lubricated. We just want to ensure you have the best experience possible! Enjoy your therapy session!

To really make the most of your red light therapy, try to set aside your phone! This way, you can focus fully on the treatment and enjoy all its amazing benefits. Keep your phone at a safe distance to reduce blue light interference, which can diminish the benefits of red light therapy.

We suggest sessions that last 30 minutes.

Consistency is absolutely vital for achieving amazing, long-term results from your light therapy sessions! It’s all about establishing a routine that nurtures your skin’s health over time. 

  • Most people get the best results from 3–4 sessions per week.
  • You can do RLT 2 days in a row, but you shouldn’t do it twice a day.
  • Remember to ease into it and really pay attention to what your body is telling you! The perfect frequency can vary based on your specific skin needs and the device you’re using.

You’ve got this!

Stay hydrated! Water is crucial for cellular processes, especially after RLT treatment when your cells are working hard.

To keep your skin happy and healthy after light therapy, it’s a good idea to hold off on retinoids for 24-48 hours. Your skin might be a bit sensitive, so embrace gentle, hydrating products instead! Once you’ve had some time to recover, you can slowly welcome retinoids back into your routine.

Exciting studies show that red light therapy can boost hair growth by an amazing 35% to 51% compared to placebo after just 16 weeks! How cool is that?
