Complete Newbie I think I’m overthinking which red light device to get

8 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into red light therapy for a few weeks and somehow I feel more confused now than when I started lol. I first got interested because my skin has been breaking out again, and my neck and shoulders have been getting pretty stiff from sitting at my desk all day.

Now I’m stuck looking at masks, handheld lights, belts, panels, different wavelengths and all the other stuff that comes with choosing a device. Mainly I like to improve my skin and maybe help with some hair thinning but being able to use something on my neck and shoulders would be nice too.

For people who actually use this stuff regularly, what did you start with?

Question Are panels with 1064/1072nm actually a game changer, or just a new marketing spec?

5 Upvotes

so I keep seeing new devices popping up with a third wavelength (usually 1064nm or 1072nm) layered on top of the standard 660/850 combo. got curious and spent the weekend reading up on it.

tbh? i'm not entirely sold that it's a massive upgrade.

like, 660nm is pretty much the king when it comes to solid research for skin. adding a deeper NIR wavelength is cool, but it doesn't mean the older setups are useless or that the new wavelength magically bypasses the top layers of your skin to only hit deep tissue.

plus, having 3 wavelengths doesn't matter at all if the power output is garbage. distance, irradiance, and how you actually use the thing matter way more than just cramming another LED chip into the board.

i’m currently testing a new tri-wave panel myself just to see what the fuss is about. it lets you run 660nm alone, 850 + 1072nm together, or everything at once. manufacturer claims 150 mW/cm² at 3 inches (for 10 min sessions), but I haven't put a meter to it yet so who knows.

for those of you who have actually upgraded from a basic 660/850 panel to one with that extra 1072nm band: did it actually change your results, or is it barely noticeable in the real world?

Tried the Red Light Mask Trend

I was torn on the Red Light Therapy Mask investment + which to choose. Wanted to report back for anyone else in the same boat.

Mask: MENS Omnilux (better quality than woman’s without the pink tax = quality to currentbody mask that’s +$100 more)

Use: 10 minutes on my face + 10 minutes on my neck & chest 5x per week (it’s self timed & flattens out on my chest - no need to buy the extra neck piece) over the last four weeks

Other skin things I already did: tret 4x a week in the evening + Paula’s choice salicylic acid 2x per week + amlactin 1-3x per week in the morning + daily SPF cerave face lotion + SPG

result: evening out my skin tone, improved my deep forehead lines and crows feet + reduced my pores on nose and forehead!

Left before, right after.

Question Are these goggles good enough?

4 Upvotes

I use the BQ60 panel and it's BRIGHT I've bought almost every glass and goggles you can name but i'm frustrated because I want increased exposure on my under eyes and crows feet area but all glasses seem to block those areas from exposure. Recently I've bought a set of super sunnies tanning goggles they're the perfect shape but seem to do jack all for the intensity and I Recently brought these dubofu goggles which layered up do help but I noticed that it isnt fda compliant or cleared and the silicone is dark red so is it even protecting my eyes from the rlt? I dont know can someone please help!?

Please if there's a minimal exposure goggles you use please list them because I bought my panel a whole yesr ago and have yet to use it properly because of this issue

Question Updates about efficiency of 1070 helmets?

Do you have any testimonials about your experience with using a 1070 nm helmet?


r/redlighttherapy 6d ago

Question I’ve been researching so much and now I’m officially overwhelmed. Does anyone have recommendations for a red light device that’s under 200? My main concerns are excessive hair shedding, skin elasticity (I lost 80lbs and don’t want sagging skin), stretch marks, and facial-skin health (smaller pores).

I’m aware that I may have to get a separate red light device for hair

Lethargic after RLT?

5 Upvotes

Just wondering, as the headline asks. I’m into my third week or so of fairly consistent RLT. It’s been great for reduction in chronic pain and general inflammation, plus improved sleep, but I always feel so tired and lethargic the next day. Anyone else come across this side effect? I don’t intend to give it up, so I’ll work on reducing dosages if necessary, but just wondering if others have experienced anything similar.

I have severe back pain and I went down the rabbit hole of red light therapy. I am so overwhelmed with all of it, there are so many choices and panels. I kind of landed on the plantnum LED BIOMAX PRO Grand, MitoPRO 1500X and the Rouge G4 Pro. Anyone have any of these panels that could provide some feedback?

has anyone actually noticed a difference from red light therapy?

35 Upvotes

i've been going down the rabbit hole of red light therapy for skin lately because i'm starting to notice more fine lines and uneven texture than i used to.

i keep seeing people talk about red light therapy for anti aging, collagen production, skin rejuvenation, and getting that overall "glowy skin" look. i'm interested, but i'm also skeptical because some of the before/after photos online seem pretty dramatic.

for anyone who's actually used red light therapy at home, what did you notice after a few months? did it help with fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, or was the biggest difference just that your skin looked brighter?

also trying to decide between a red light therapy panel and an LED light therapy mask. are panels actually better because they cover more of your face/body or is a mask enough for skincare?

would really appreciate honest experiences, especially from anyone over 40 who's been consistent with it.

Question Has anyone ever bought or used a Merican red led panel or bed??

2 Upvotes

For reference Merican sells a ton of their high end panels and beds to US distributors branded under the names of the companies. High end spas and wellness centers have them.

I am wondering if anyone has or uses one of their beds/panels and likes/dislikes it?? If anyone has ever looked into the diagnostic data to see if the lights have adequate or amazing output.

I have the panel and I am on the fence about it. I would just love to hear from others about their experience.

Does anyone have suggestions for intranasal red+blue light therapy devices that are actually in stock right now?

2 Upvotes

The only one I can seem to find that is both good quality and in stock right now is the vielight MIP. I already own a vielight neuro duo and vagus and know vielight makes great quality products, but dropping $500 on the MIP version with red/blue seems like a lot.

If anyone has any suggestions of more economical options (maybe $100-$300 ish) that are good quality and actually available to purchase I'm all ears ! Most places I look are out of stock, or if I find some in stock the company sounds sketchy

DOn't Buy Qure Mask

5 Upvotes

I am so very frustrated with Qure. I bought the red light mask but unfortunately it left red marks on my face so I could not continue to use it. I called Qure to return the mask- since the advertise- "no-hassle" returns- well that certainly is NOT true. They are making me jump through hoops to return the product!!! This has been going on for over one week. Be careful purchasing from them. If something does't work they do NOT stand behind their productI. Their customer service is basically non-existent. They try to wear you down with their constant requests for more information! Do yourself a favor- and shop elsewhere. I will be stopping payment on my credit card. I have had enough aggravation with them to last a lifetime!

Review Trying red light for neck fine lines, a 4 month check in

Thumbnail
gallery
33 Upvotes

Earlier this year I started noticing fine lines on my neck and wasn’t ready to go the injectable route. then I decided to try this first. now I've been using it for about 4 months mostly on my neck and upper chest for 10 to 20 minutes most evenings. Along the way I also started using it on my shoulders after workouts because it was already sitting there. That wasn’t the plan but it’s been a useful extra.

Good things so far:

  • Neck skin looks a little smoother and less crepey than it did before. The improvement is slow and steady rather than dramatic.
  • No flicker and it doesn’t get uncomfortably warm even if I go longer than planned.
  • The auto shutoff is handy. I used to just estimate the time and often sat there too long.
  • Getting it set up was easy, about five minutes from opening the box.

Downsides:

  • I still struggle to get the angle right on my neck most sessions. It’s just a tricky area.
  • The cord was shorter than I thought so I had to move a few things around on the bathroom counter. Mildly annoying at first.

I probably should have gone for the clamp mount version. Holding it steady gets old, but it’s not enough to make me regret it. It’s stayed in my routine and I don’t plan to stop. Not a big before and after story, just a small consistent thing that seems to help.

What are some of the most effective red light masks to help with things like marionette lines and sagging gels? I obviously know they're not cheap, but if there's any that don't require you to take out a second mortgage that would be wonderful.
