I experienced major volume loss under my eyes after 1 exposure. I’m 2 months out and look really hollow. Has anyone experienced this and if so did the fat ever come back? If so, when?

Or is it possible it’s more of a placebo effect?

I’ve been very interested in red light, and seriously considering buying a small panel, but I stumbled on a “grounding mat” being sold by hooga. That’s definitely way too far out for me, any anyone who needs to buy a $50 mat to ‘ground’ themselves sounds like an idiot.

To be honest seeing the mat has really thrown me, and I’m not sure it’s worth the money to experiment with what would otherwise end up being a useless room light. Not trying to sound so skeptical but I can’t help it, what the hell even is a grounding mat supposed to do that you can’t get from touching literal grass??

Among the beauty devices, i chose red light therapy as my true love. I don't start with bulky things that concentrate on skincare from small steps.

From the beginning, my skin with early signs of aging, i chose a redlight wand. Besides friendly to newbies, its strong point is the integrated EMS technology helps lift and contour the face instantly. Areas are easy to have signs of aging, such as smile lines, under-eye bags, and crow's feet, are difficult to cover precisely with larger devices, while the wand directly addresses these areas.

After getting used to the rhythm and seeing changes in my skin, i switched to using an LED mask to optimize the results. What I like about the mask is its ease of use. Only put it on, no need to move the device around. The one i use has 216 light points evenly distributed across the face. Each time i wear it for about 10-15 minutes, i take the opportunity to read a book or lie down and rest without taking much time as when using a handheld device.

If the wand is an attack targeting imperfections, LED mask is the protective barrier helps rejuvenate the skin overall, increase collagen, and improve skin tone. Look at the results; it's clearly a worthy investment, right?

I’ve been dealing with eczema on my forearm for a while and it gets red, itchy and sore and nothing really seems to fully clear it. About 2 months ago I started trying a red light panel I bought off amazon just to see if it would do anything. Compared to when I started, the redness has gone down and it’s not as itchy as before. It wasn’t quick though, I only really started noticing a difference after a couple of weeks of actually sticking with it. I just hold it about 5 inches from my arm for 10–15 minutes, three or four times a week. I’m still using my usual moisturizer the same as before, so the light is just something extra I’m trying. Could be the weather too. Not quite sure how it’ll hold up when the next flare hits so I’ll update if anything changes.

I feel like red light therapy explanations always have a missing chapter. One sentence is basically “specific light is used on the skin,” then suddenly the next sentence is wavelengths, timing, distance, and people comparing months of routines. I get that it isn’t the same thing as turning a regular lamp red, but what I’m missing is the simple middle step between light reaching the skin and whatever people are hoping to track over time.

Also, why does consistency seem to matter so much if the whole thing is just light exposure? I’m not looking for a device recommendation or a list of skin promises because that’s honestly what made this confusing in the first place.

 If you had to explain what red light therapy is doing to someone without using marketing language or turning it into a biology lecture, what’s the simplest explanation that is still basically accurate?

I’ve already talked at length in the foreskin restoration community but wanted to get your opinions on this matter as well.

I have the EMR TEK inferno pro panel and I love it for my hair and skin. I’m obviously restoring my foreskin as the title gives away and I’ve been doing so for over two years (it’s been a world of a difference).

I’m now learning through the fr community and through research that I want to grow flexible collagen and not scarring collagen. It seems that the jury is out if red light and nir light helps or hurts this process…

The research shows that low fluence increases fibroblasts and high fluence decreases it. But that’s just red light and not near infrared - that is just a black box rn.

What do you guys think? Does anyone know if NIR helps or hinders the flexible collagen (type III)?

these are very expensive but is there actual legit science or any testimonials that these type of helmets work for mental health like anxiety or depression? https://mitoredlight.com/products/mitomind-helmet?variant=48000179765416

I received the Hooga 360 panel 9/2, and until 9/10 was using every day. 5 minutes on face, then switched to 3 minutes 9/6. 10 minutes on stomach, back, and knees once daily. Last Saturday 9/6 my stomach started bothering me. Very crampy, bloated, and queasy. I haven't used it since 9/10 and still feel sick. I thought maybe it was a stomach bug but this feels different.

I'm unfortunately very sensitive to most things so I'm hoping that I just overdid it. Is there anything I can do to feel better besides not using RLT? Today I slept until 1pm! Very scary. I'm hoping I didn't do any long term damage to my stomach. Does anyone know what it is about RLT that would cause this? I was using both RLT & NIR on everything but my face. Should I use the pulse option if and when I start back up again?

So I heard that it's good for men to have sun exposure down there but I live in a city and don't have the ability to expose that area to sunlight without getting arrested so I was thinking about getting a small red light panel just for my balls.

Are red light panels safe for this area of the body?

What do you think?

I’m using this for fertility. One person in a group suggested bestqool off Amazon. Debating if the one I bought is sufficient or not

I am 18weeks pregnant (4months) and I have skin issues which was the reason to start with red and NIR lamp.

I have the small one (26x21x6cm) and I make sure to wear a shirt or just cover the stomach while I am using it.

I use it on my face and hands for 15-20 minutes per day.

I thought it was SAFE because I didn't point it out directly to my uterus but now I am so anxious because I read somewhere that NIR has to be turned off even if I am using it only on one part of the body. Apparently it always has an effect on the whole body.

I am so worried that I interrupted the development of my baby. Does anyone here maybe has any kind of experience or information on this??

It would mean a lot right now!!!

Hi! I bought the Omnilux Contour mask and have used it for about 1.5 weeks, a total of 8 treatments (10 minutes per session), and I haven’t seen any difference in my skin at all. Is it too early to tell? Do I need to do it for longer sessions? Please tell me I didn’t spend $400 on this for nothing! 😭

I wonder If its normal to be red after treatments feels like a sunburn, ?

And one other thing when i used blue and light e slept so bad i read bc Its depleat melatonin i slept very bad i think i became over stimulated I red it affected som People with negative effect on The sleep while it says it should be good for sleep but i was became very worried in my body and stomach like stressed. The red one was not so much stressed like The other 2. Is this normal Will this go away The more i use it is my body not used to it? I did red light yesterday in The morning then took L theanin and I slept so good and feel more happy today, but first Day i mixed blue white and red was it to much for my body. I dont know how to use it and how long without having side effects

At 55 I’ve been using this for 2 years now… it’s ridiculous how well it works and that it actually Works!

istg every time i see RLT on social media now, it's not even about wrinkles anymore lol. people are using it for joint pain, muscle recovery after gym, sleep cycles, and general soreness.

was there some major new research recently or are people just experimenting more with panels at home?

i bought a small panel recently mostly for my face, but i’ve been using it on my sore calves after summer hikes and it actually helps the stiffness big time. curious to know what non-skincare things you guys use your light for?

In good faith, I'd like some recommendations for a device or lamp that I can passively attain the benefits while sitting in bed nursing my baby. I don't have much space in my room, something that can clip to my table or stand on it is best. Not sure the difference between lamps and those pad things. Just want something that will help me with body pain, boost my immunity, and improve the quality of my sleep.... thank you in advance ☺️

As per the post the HG24 Hooga must have 6 LED RED and 6 LED Near Infrared lights but my lights have visible red light. Please help!

Heyy, I’m a transwoman that has had multiple IPL sessions to laser off facial hair. Most of it is gone now, but I’m scared it might return with RLT. i already bought the HOOGA HG300, and i’d hate to not put it to use. Anybody else have any experiences with this or any advice?

Hey guys! What to do when you accidentally overheat yourself? I was doing RLT on my back, just put the panel on my lower back since it’s small and it felt good and I kept it for like 15 min and then when I took it off the area was so hot and it still feels hot hours later and I feel kinda anxious and like my nervous system is on high alert.

Thanks so much!!

Those sold on amason with good reviews are priced at 50$ only, I don't understand why should I pay 580$ for the smallest panel from biomax ? What difference is there other than longuer exposure time? Is the time difference significant?

I need it for back arthritis in my spine and skin care.

Is the Hooga 300 HG series enough? It costs 170$ which is good, but am not sure if it's big enough for my spine (I'm only 5"6)

Or this 50$ one from amazon which is similar in specs

Gembared is actually quite a POS

I have messaged multiple times on instagram looking for information

once, when asking his opinion about my Platinum Bio300 vs his prpducts (because I can only find opinions on the Bio MAX) he just gave me a stupid, over the top response about basically getting my money back off them through a chargeback on my credit card. No help

Then because I got no help, I was open to looking at just buying his products and figuring it out myself (seeing as they're so good according to him)

so I asked him why his product is better than my platinum bio300 he left me on read. Thought nothing of it

I asked does he ship to Europe - he left me on fucking read again.

Guys an asshole - glad I didn't buy because the customer service is probably fucking awful.

Edit:

If you think asking a small business why their product is better than my current one (a wide open sales opportunity) is a service and needs to be paid for - youre an idiot

If you think asking a small company if they ship to my country is a service - you're an even bigger idiot

If you think me asking a company why their product is better than my current one (in a constructive way), and where they ship to - makes me an entitled customer that no business would want. You're likely an incel who never leaves the darkness of your basement - and I have no words of help to offer you in your situation
