I’m 58. I think being older the change that I’ve noticed has been magnitude larger than I ever would’ve dreamed of. Being young and healthy I think it’s understandable, but you don’t have tremendously visual results.
I’ve noticed my wrinkles mostly go away on my face and my neck has really improved. My inflammation markers have decreased. My HSCRP was really elevated at 10 and it’s back down at three. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my exercise tolerance without pain has really increased.
As a note, I do stock my routine. I lie on a PEMF mat with the red light over top of me while meditating.
I also do a one hour infrared sauna session. I turned my spare room into a treatment area.
How long do you do each face & body sessions ? 🤍🙏🏼 is there a difference between the time limit for face vs body ?
@@nesichanonor8174 I have a full body system that has five arms on a tripod. They can be splayed out so that my entire body is exposed. When I wake up in the morning, I just pull the covers back and treat my whole body while I meditate, answer, emails, write my goals for the day, etc..
@@nesichanonor8174 for the whole body it can be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending on if I get lost in replying to emails, etc.
Thanks
I have two of the Besq lights like you started with. You are for sure missing out on the face game, 10000% recommend you do that daily. Apparently redlight exposure acts as SPF15, which I can confirm during this summer. I also do facial guasha while I do my redlight therapy- the difference in lymph drain and facial health is noticeable in DAYS.
Yo thanks for the feedback. I am going to start doing more front upper for sure!
What’s your protocol man? It has been 5 days I’ve the RLT device to treat a fracture but i also noticed I got no more pimples (I always have 3-4 active cystic acne pimples) Update: still have usual acne, no change after ten days
What is your Gua Sha routine like?
Gua sha has 0 evidence but ok
@@Ali-ns6fx I use a gua sha and the improvement in appearance is incredible.
Definitely do your face! I'm sure the female contingent would be super interested in the anti-aging/regenerative properties of PBM!
I hope ten years from today you do a meta analysis of your research and do a frigging awesome review of all your results. I look forward ot that video, until then keep them coming! Thanks...
Just watched the full series of these. Very informative and something I will have to consider in the future.
it's crazy how underrated you became, 3 years ago I found this channel and it's been extremely useful, gratz on 3mil subs.
Underrated by who? He has over 3 million subscribers. My God, every day I see somebody on social media that has no idea what this word actually means.
@@DERHOF2007 keyword "became" you chungus
@@sober1129 yeah, that makes no sense... if you had said 'it's crazy how underrated you once were'... the way you worded it implies that he is currently underrated.
@@DERHOF2007 he is
I DEFINATELY see thicker hair growth in the back! Wow! Can you concentrate more on your hair in the future please? Thank you so much for your amazing videos! You are so knowledgeable and entertaining. I bought 3 Mito red light laser machines today after watching your videos! Please keep them coming.👍
I agree! It’s thicker.
it's "definitely" 😉
Right after he said there’s no difference, I ran to find this comment
So much respect for you keep it up!!
20 minutes of pure head.... it doesnt sound so bad
Most underrated comment ever. That’s gold😭🤣

well yeah he's trying to get people to buy using the affiliate link lol
I’d say you’re pessimistic
I bought my red light after watching your original video couple months ago and its helped my nerve pain, tmj , and fascia issues!!
That’s amazing!
Which device did you get and how close do you get and long do you do it?
@@schminktisch hoogahealth $160 one footish away, six days a week 30 min daily
6inches-1 foot
Which device? @Schminktisch and I want to know. 😊
Look above in the comments!
Thanks for the year long study results.
I would love a video on the wearable device! And also on using it for your face.
Great results!!
Great vid! A review on the effects of red light on the face would be super helpful. So many reviews on red light therapy for skin health (specifically for face) come from people with optimal skincare routines all around. It’s just hard to determine if the benefits seen are from the light or from continued use of retinol/oids, vitamin C, or other actives.
I have one of my own here - ua-cam.com/video/KkVDh_GFeXg/v-deo.html
Really great video! This helped me a lot thanks.
Nice coverage! Would love to see a LT test of a face mask and the belt devices.
have you (or anyone else here) heard about timing the red light therapy to a cerain part of the day? I read in an article that redlight/infraredlight therapy works best in the earlier parts of the day because our mitochondria are working according to our circadian rhythm.
Great video ! There may be more skin benefits for some of us old timers.
I think it's very assisting you, and the helmet was worth having, the video is inspiring, I like the red light.
Just wish there was more research on this. Hopefully a meta-analysis comes out soon
I’ve been noticing some good effects. I bought a small red light device, I sometimes notice my skin has a heathy glow to it. I also right away noticed it will calm me down a bit and I will sleep better.
The red light increases melatonin release
Which one did you buy?
Superb ❤❤
Parabens pigmie pelos 3milhões 👏🏼👏🏼 sou do brasil🇧🇷 acompanho o seu canal
Translate: Congratulations pigmie for the 3 million 👏🏼👏🏼 I'm from Brazil🇧🇷 I follow your channel
thanks so much pigmie
Would be awesome to see you use their Mito red light helmet and track it for 3 (or maybe 6 months) to see any results for hair growth. If it's effective then I'm sure most people would just buy it to save time.
I've been interested in this since your first red light video... Today i finally took the plunge and bought a mitored. Hoping it can help with a lingering back ache ive had for 6ish months.
For sleep improvement try taurine before bed, and taurine with your coffee in the morning.
Hey Lucas, great video- I love all the experimentation going on- sounds like a lot of the results were hit or miss depending on the specific target. I think this is partially by design, as in the dosages of the various things getting treatment may or may not be in the therapeutic benefit zone of about 2-10J with the ideal benefit at 6J. You’re going to see more deep tissue benefits with the protocol you selected. You would either need a direct to skin but much lower intensity device to target skin/hair (like the helmet or a lower powered skin led device). When you’re doing such high intensity red light panel work you overshoot the therapeutic range for the skin but due to 90% loss of the red light via skin and sub layers you’re getting it right into the ideal range for deep tissue treatment and healing. Targeting specific things- eyes, brain, etc requiring vastly different protocols- as they contain different mitochondria concentrations (the brain is very photo sensitive but has higher than normal barriers such as the skull. Eyes are extremely sensitive need really low dose first thing in the morning) and will also vary depending on your health and age (healthy young people might need lower dosages to get the same result). He also aware of cumulative dosing (re-upping the red light before the body has fully processed a previous treatment) and studies on transitive benefits of red light- when cells not receiving direct treatment improve their cellular function anyway. Some things to think about for your next experiment! Good luck and hope you’re still seeing good results as you further refine the technique!
Thanks for the review! Regarding sleep, I had a great success with cutting out all sugar, carbohydrates, junk food, seed oils and even vegetables. I also make sure to eat enough fat.
I don't need to sleep as much and I wake up just fine.
In the rare times I can't fall asleep a cold shower does the trick.
why cut out vegetables 🫣
@@inSpyrbecause they are unhealthy/toxic.
@wild
Commenting so you get comment credit. Thank you man
yes do the redlight helmet video please i wanna niw if it works
You should get a garmin or some other sleep tracking device to see if you can quantify the sleep benefit.
Is there aa specific time you do red light therapy? Like morning, evening or after a workout?
Try the hair growth red light cap, it would be super motivating to see if you get some hair regrowth for all us balding guys lol
Yes, results from the cap would be awesome to see!
Hair definitely looks thicker
6:57 Impressive improvement in jawline dude
Good point!
Hi, have you tried a red light sauna? If so how does it compare to your current light? Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful and informative.
Assume you mean infrared sauna, not the same thing.
Try DMSO! Wanna see how that helps your shoulder and back pain
Try to keep your abs controlled/contracted during a week! As in, always having them slightly flexed, even when sitting, etc. Except when sleeping ofc!
I did this through college and it definitely gave me abs!
@@ashrenae63did you not train them any other way while doing it?
Moles are easy to remove. Just scratch the surface up a bit (dermastamp works well) then hold a piece of cotton soaked in ACV and castor oil against it for like 30 mins. Do that a few times and it will draw the mole up to the surface where it will come off in a scab. If it grows back it you need to do the ACV routine longer to get out all the roots.
thought you were talking about mole the animal lmao.
@@jimmyslife4292 profile picture checks out
I had a wart I got rid of using ACV and I noticed a nearby mole got bleached too haha
This is the worst advice I ever seen online. Please don't do this! Moles don't have roots and cannot be scratched off, they go thru all the layers of your skin so unless your "scratching" yourself down to your fat layer this is not possible and is dangerous.
hey i have a recommendation: you should try thunders place exercises for a month
pls use it on your front upper half more, I want to see if it helps!! I would say just add 5 mins, so you don't take time away from what you are already doing, but rather add to it. The last 5 mins could be your upper front. That way the order wouldn't have to change
Luscious!!! 😅
Do still do red loght therapy ? ... btw love what you do. Thanks
Actually grows more hair on my stomach. I do 20min front upper for 1month. Feel like hair is growing more.
I use my red light whenever I get scratches from my cat. It significantly reduces the time they take to heal and fades the scars faster.
Please do an experiment with PEMF therapy
I’ve been using a panel for several years now and it’s made a significant difference in my overall health and skin. I highly recommend that you do expose your upper body and do it nude. I recommend that you get a small stool and use that when you do the front of your body for 10 minutes than do your back.
Thanks bro
Good video! I started using a small unit after your first video, and have since upgraded to two platinum LED full-sized units (biomax 900s) so I get full body coverage for each side.
My typical routine is 15 minute sessions, split into 3 x 5 minute sides. I'll alternate a) Front-left, back straight, front right and b) back left, front straight, back right.
Since I am trying to focus more internal (back/spine) I'll stand pretty close to the unit. Can you say how far away you typically stand from the unit, and do you ever vary closeness?
Thanks again for the follow-up. I would be interested if you continued testing in this. Thanks again!
did you notice any benefits
@@romannavratilid Good question as it's not like a light switch. I think I do but it's not overwhelming. When I first got I would do a session before lifting. Yes I noticed it then. What I'm using it for is deeper tissue/cartilage repair. Unfortunately cannot say either way, other than things haven't gotten worse.
@@pavXX thanks, do you use it also on face for better skin quality? any positives noticed there?
@@romannavratilid yep I have 2 biomax 900 panels stacked vertically and get head to foot coverage of one side. They are hanging on one of the closet doors, which is convenient. I also bought the stand but have not needed it.
I’ve been using a high powered panel for 6 months now. Definitely helps my mood and energy. 100% has helped my skin.
I’m looking at my legs right now and they are tight, smooth, and have a really beautiful glow to them. My face looks so much more smooth, even and healthy.
Was doing a FaceTime with my mom recently, she said wow your skin looks great, what are you doing? She knows my struggles with bad skin my whole life. When I told her she immediately went online and bought a red light panel. 😂
All those expensive lotions I’ve been using for decades are pretty much worthless compared to the red light. Because the magic happens deep down in the cells.
Let's go 👍
This needs to be done on someone older who needs collagen improvement.
I had some experience with muscle cramps. Yes, those incredible painful at night cramps. I started to use infrared light on the area of the cramps, magically disappeared, the pain was gone quickly
Using infrared light for varicose vaina. Any information?
Or using infrared light to the blood while cleaning the blood from toxins when having kidney problems
Have been waiting for this video. 😂
3 milli 💪
Have you tested testosterone before and after using red light?
Why did I remember Red light, green light💀
Now fr Pigmie actually is the best person to watch if you're new to fitness. Huge respect mate. ❤
I never watched Octupus game*
Suggestion is to do the red light with a mirror on the other side.
Your time seems short since even the hair thing they say 25 min to use no more that 24 hours apart.
also what about using an artificial light device which gives vitamin d?
As someone with actually busted skin (270lbs at 17, yo yoing weight from 190-240 for like 10+ years, a stable 180 rn) and too broke for plastic surgery I notice a big difference in the laxity of my loose skin after 6-8 months of RLT. I combine it with drybrushing and dietary collagen.
The before/after photos are almost impossible to keep perfectly consistent, so unless the differences are very obvious, you'll have a hard time telling what's what. And from what I've seen from other sources, the visual results on the skin are insignificant, meaning, they are within margin of error of consistency. I believe it's great for supporting mitochondria though, I feel like I don't get as fatigued as before the RLT and it lifts up my mood.
For treating actual injuries or localized inflammation, the RLT panels will not do (much), there's a RLT laser with a price in the low 4 figures, so not really meant for home use, but highly likely, anything less powerful just won't work.
If it's that difficult to see changes, it is not worth it.
I was totally thinking the same thing. And I’m actually a firm believer in the compound effect. To spend 20 minutes 3-5 times a week adds up to somewhere around 70 hours of time for such a small change. Not worth it in my opinion.
Can you overuse the red light - any problems with using it every single day?
Im earrlyy on this one
yo Pygmie I found a challenge for you. It improves digestion and as a knock on effect it will improve skin e.t.c but most importantly it supposedly gives you perfect poops all the time. All you have to do is half an hour of holding a deep squat. You can do it 2 mins at a time or 10 mins or whatever but you just need to hit the half an hour total time per day. You'll see results by the time you do your first poo.
Basically you ask him to do Asian squats. You can also buy a stool that elevates the feet while on the toilet. It changes the direction of the rectum and a whole lot of other neural things to make poop easier😂
what time of day do you typically use it?
Are you tracking vision improvement? I noticed all the eye charts you had taped on the wall.
Will you add a second one to get more red light cover?
It's impressive and believe in the technology! I used an infrared flashlight (skin contact) on a knee injury and has helped a lot. I'm now using it on a hair transplant. You have a slight thickness of hair growth from last year, but didn't need improving. You asked for requests on where to use it next: try your cheeks and jawline.
Crazy.
As a female, I'm curious if your wife has been using this and if she has seen significant benefits. Also, I would love to see you use the red light therapy on hair. That is an area of concern for myself! Thanks
Ahhh a w*man

Yo pigmie I finally got the double backflip!!
Hey Lucas I have a question about the back-flip. When you first started did you have the fear of landing in your head and breaking your neck? Because I do, and I'm wondering if you know how to get rid of that fear?
Please would you do iron fist training or rice bucket training for 30 days, i really want to see what happens after 30 days or more
Hi Mr. Pigmie, I just found your content as I started researching Red light therapy. You asked us to let you know what further research/experimentation we are interested in: could you please research how and attempt to use Red light/Infrared light therapy on your eyes? According to research, it can reduce eye deterioration and even improve overall vision. This is one of the main reasons I got interested in red light therapy to begin with...
I see you are wearing glasses while narrating this video, so maybe it could be helpful to you too? Please do the proper research on the protocol, I do not want you to hurt your eyes
I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 17 years. I am a big believer in red light therapy and was intrigued when I stumbled upon your video as I have not seen any longitudinal one before. As a specialist in shoulder dysfunction, I do want to point out an important distinction regarding muscle healing and recovery. Red light does seem to have an amazing capacity for muscle recovery and repair. However, the shoulder issues you are dealing with can not be addressed by red light alone. Your shoulder issues are caused by dysfunctional and uncoordinated muscle movement due to the extensive injuries you have suffered. These will only get better if you seek out treatment to correct your scapular rotation and to balance (correct the movement) of the shoulder, neck, and arm. Red light would be a great complement to this work, but it's not going to do it for you.
I realize this is older video but does your affiliate discount work for their large full commercial panel I want for home use. What is your discount?
u should just do "budget" brain johnson morning blue print for 30 days
What if you work out hard and then do red light on half of your body, covering the other half with mylar shielding?
"If the light continues on the same spot healing reverses..." does that means we should move from side to side or back to front in any one session? I have always stayed still for 10 minutes at a time
what time in the day do you do it ?

The key are phrases "potential benefits" "there may be benefits", and actual percentages of these "potential benefits". Single digits. It is also of importance the fact that the improvements are temporary, not permanent.
