How old are you ? I think I would like to start but I am only 26.
@@missf1217I am 31, but people of all ages can benefit from red light/ near-infrared light therapy! It helps reduce inflammation, among many other benefits that are relevant to all humans ❤
What!! 31!!😲
You look so young 🥹🫶🏻
How much do you get paid for that? Can you hook me up, please
I use red light therapy for vaginal and anal tightening, and it works. It comes in a wand.
This young woman's skin is absolutely stunning. I will do daily. I also have a derma roller. Will do derma roller once per week. Am 54, wear sunblock every day since I was 24, I do tretinoin and vitamin C, botox for forehead and crow's feet, and conservative use of fillers. I am told I could pass for 30's, but time isn't kind and I can tell you I have benefitted financiallyand professionally from working to appear youthful. Sad, but true. It does matter. Ageism is very real and disproportionately affects women more negatively then men.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and perspective! I totally feel you-it’s unfortunate that women are held to much different standards than men.
I personally really love beauty, makeup, and skincare and enjoy taking good care of my face and body. But I feel for the ladies who do not enjoy this. Not everyone likes these things and yet they are still subject to the same pressures to look “professional” or “put together”.
It sounds like you’ve taken great care of your skin. ❤️
Thank you for highlighting this!
Ageism is very real and disproportionately affects women more negatively then men. --- what industry you are working for if i may ask?
@@effy1219they only say that because women are self obssesed... and when they are not younger and super desired anymore they think the world is over and everyone does them wrong.
how did u use vitamin C with tretinoin??
Finally someone who tested this masks longer than 8 weeks 😂 love it thank you ❤
Haha my pleasure! Still testing to this day ;)
I can attest to your review. I’ve been using red light therapy every single day for the past 3 months, and it has caused a drastic change in my skin. My skin was glowing; it can also fade pimple marks and hyperpigmentation. Also, my friends noticed that my skin looked so clear and healthy. I suggest applying green tea and hyaluronic acid before using the device to achieve great results ❤
Love this! Thanks for sharing your great tips! I've also noticed it fades pimple marks / post-inflammatory erythema. Which mask do you personally use? :)
Hi which product of green tea or just plain grean tea
Which red light therapy did you buy?? The one listed is about $500 curious what others have found
@@bentebehet5389actually, the studies were done not with green tea, but with green rooibos tea. See “Maysama.”
She made a comment that they offered a discount code to her subsribers! Scroll up for the link :) I just bought one myself @@NatalieBoat111
You sold me with the mood and energy boost this provides. I suffer from seasonal depression and my morning runs help me fight it but only on the days that I do run. I’d love this as an addition to my selfcare . Thank you for this video and getting straight to the benefits
Same!
Red & NIR led light therapy improves my mood so much! Use it daily
Me also
Trust me, these work! My massuese, when I told him I had just gotten a mat & a "belt" style unit told me he bought his Mom a mat 2 months ago & she has seen big imprivement in her joint & back pain but she's also in a better mood (yes she uses it in the AM)
HE himself had heard about the NiR mats from a friend who trains polo horses ($1M ponies) & their rehab people use huge ones across the horses' back & have special sized ones for their legs.
**Chk Y Tube for the research out of Canada about LED headsets helping improve the brains of TBI, Parkinsons & Dementia sufferers! Amazing!

I use my red light mask 5-6 days per week. I’m almost 50 and it has tightened my skin and helped reduce fine lines. If it breaks, I’d buy another one. I highly recommend!
Which one do you have? I bought Omnilux which cost a mint and now having problems with mask that are too late to get a refund. Frustrating. Was thinking of getting a red light in general I can stand near to hit whole body.
@@annmarieknapp 12 of my friends and I bought omnilux masks and 8 of them stopped working while under warranty and another 2 outside of warranty. They did a fabulous job while they worked but were expensive. So disappointing!
Your skin looks great! They should give you coupons because I’m convinced now 😊
Could you please tell which brand of mask do you have?
@@irynak6567I would highly recommend the CurrentBody
I am 66 yr.old and have been using LED mask for one year. I used NuFace red light attachment for 5 years before the mask. I agree with everything you said- I put on the mask + neck LED every morning while meditating for 20 minutes. My mood is better, too. People comment on my skin quality often. I have been using NuFace micro current for 5+yr. 5 days a week- just before my makeup. These devices don't take much time- just a habit either at night or morning. Like you, I use different lotions-serums on my face- The Ordinary is a great company and affordable for products. Thank you for your video- I am looking forward to watching many more. Metta from CA
First time I see someone comment on a skincare routine that is almost identical to mine. 😊🙌

Wow this comment warms my heart!! Thank you so much 🥰 hope you enjoy your new toys! Nothing feels as good as taking care of your beautiful body! ✨
I did a six month promotion on light there at booth,forty minutes twice a week. My skin improved and my body seemed to hum after leaving each session. Powerful stuff. I’m hoping costs go down with time.
I’m so happy I just found this channel! The fact that you listed the research on this… I am in looooveee
Yay!! Thank you so much! Happy to have you here ❤️
This made me really want to have one! Love how you review was based on scientific sources!
I was hesitating about beauty devices, thought they would be beneficial from 40s. But seeing you makes me to add this one on my skincare. I have a busy schedule and so past years i have neglected skincare but this doesn't demand any special time and using this is very very easy.
And really impressed to know that this works on mood as well 😊
Thank you!
Your skin is divine! And those cheekbones 🤩
Your videos are lovely. I'd like to try a red light mask.
Great video! Loved the point about mental health benefits you've found from it too :)
Wow, thank you for sharing! That is a perspective I haven't heard on this yet.I just bought mine last night and I'm sooo excited to get started
I'm so glad you're doing well. As long as you like, it will FOREVER be worth it! Thank u for sharing girl!!!
Thank you algorithm for showing me this wonderful video!! What an amazing review of something I AM actually considering buying!
And now seeing the rest of your videos.. I see a video binge on coming 👀 so many great topics!
Aww thank you. So glad you found the review helpful! 🥰 Did you end up going for a mask?
I've been using a red light therapy panel from Future Form Official, a company in Norway, and it has been a game changer for my health! I suffer from chronic back pain, and this panel has not only eased my pain but also improved my skin tone significantly. It’s super affordable! I didn't expect such impressive results for the price I paid. Totally recommend checking them out if you're considering red light therapy. It’s an investment in your health that actually pays off. Thrilled with my purchase!
Love to hear this!! I’ve been wanting to invest in a panel :) I’ll definitely check this one out. Thanks for sharing!
Followed immediately when you said you were about to cry ❤ that’s pure gratitude thank you 🙏🏻
Aww thank you! Gratitude because it’s become a sacred part of my morning. ❤️
Good to see the excellent results you’ve experienced after over 2 years of daily use, great info
I actually used one of those red light heating lamps for a while every night and morning. I started it to help with my sinuses and my stiff neck, but I also noticed that 1) I sleep so much better after using it, like falling a sleep within the 10 min use and overall improved sleep quality was so much better, and 2) I also found it way easier to stand up in the morning, like you said in the video!
I did that for like 6 months when I lived in that one dorm room, and it was easy to set it up there, but afterward I stopped... I really need to do that again actually, this is a good reminder!
I'm pretty sure the mask also improves sleep quality if you do it at nighttime.
Thanks for sharing! Yes it does!! Studies have shown that these masks can help us produce melatonin (sleep hormone) and reduce cortisol (stress hormone) so it can truly impact the quality of our sleep. 🤍
@@TheScienceofSelfCare why not just use Red Light Therapy Lamp for the whole body then? Same price +-
Thank you for sharing.. Just received my mask. I’m finally into a whole holistic view of improving my overall appearance!!
Hope you love it as much as I do! It takes time and consistency but is well worth it :) don’t go anywhere without my mask ✨
I did a lot of research on these and ending up going with the Omnilux. Used it everyday (20 min) for the first two months and then maintenance sessions 3-4 times a week. I have mild rosacea and other redness from occasional gluten/sugar sensitivities and I find that this mask has definitely helped minimize the redness and overall texture of my skin. I also have been using prescription Tretinoin for the past year as well and OTC retinol for 6 years, which has definitely helped with texture. Thanks for sharing your experience, you have convinced me to use it more!
But the omnilux website says you should discontinue Tretinoin while using red light.
@@_chapternumberone_8782u can use it, but apply it after the LED treatments NOT before.
@Baphometrose: *More is not better.* 10 minutes per day is plenty as many dermatologists recommend no more than that. Tretinoin and retinol should not be used together, forms of Vitamin A.
My red light panel helps my pain and mood. Skin is a bonus too. It really assists when I have PMS depression
FINE you convinced me! I’ve been on the fence for awhile, thanks for sharing 😊👏👏
Haha hope you love it as much as I do! 🥰
Absolutely loved this! So so helpful! I’ve wanted one for ages and this makes me wanna buy asap! Need to save a bit though! X
Really informative and to the point! Love your calm demeanor and science info! Great that youtube suggested you! ❤❤❤
Thanks for your supportive words! ❤️ so glad it was informative. ✨
Great review! just wanted to mention that in some of the studies I looked at with regards to red light therapy and skin specifically, there isn't a cumulative effect by adding more time/doing more sessions. so the 10 minutes is probably good enough on that end!
Yup! Boost recommends max 20 min at one go
I heard the same from a dermatologist. I wish she had said if she is using tretnoin too. I have been for ages now I’ve bought a mask and I’m not sure if can use both the same day. I’ll try to find a video about it
@@itsruckaswife7036 angie form hot and flashy here on yt says she uses retinoids a tnight while the mask in the morning
@@itsruckaswife7036 I am using both with no issues thus far (have been on tretinoin for years and mask for 2 months)
She did say she uses the mask for her mood more than her skin so perhaps longer is better for the antidepressant effects?
Hi, I came over to your channel after watching Dr Dray's video on LED light masks. I've had a currentbody mask for around 18 months but havent been consistent with using it. Watching your enthusiasm and obvious results, which are more than skin deep has spurred me on to start using the mask again and to be consistent with it. So thank you 🤗 I'll be checking out lots more of your videos now too.
That’s great to hear! It really is the type of thing that takes consistent use to benefit from. I would definitely recommend trying a morning meditation in bed 🥰
I just came across your channel.. and, having been doing all of this research myself before this, I want to say thank you. The citations and anecdotal evidence are so helpful. Binging your videos.
Hi Kate 👋 welcome to this corner of UA-cam! And thank you so much for the kind words!! It’s so fun to have a community of self-care lovers here online. 🥰

Infrared heat for Hot yoga got me looking down this rabbit hole, and I do question the rigour in a lot of the research which made it hard to corelate the benefit of the red and IR light across different use scenarios. I did find the sessions extremely rejuvenating and even just the style of heat vs regular thermal hot yoga was really nice for me.
It's nice to have a clear expression of how you are seeing change - thanks for sharing that Robin.
I like the morning routine you have created for yourself too!
Thanks for your comment! As much as I like to understand and look into the research behind an intervention, I also like to be led by how something makes me feel.. because that matters for health and happiness as well!
It sounds like you’ve been enjoying IR; as have I! It’s really helped reduce inflammation in my body. Placebo or not, it seems to be making a difference for me. :)
your voice is so calm and relaxing , i loved it
That’s so kind! Thank you 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed this. x

I do red lite at Planet Fitness, but I'm probably going to look into buying the mask ... for sure! I had a bilateral mastectomy AND a hysterectomy so I've got lots of scars to work on! I appreciate the information ... thank you so much!
Love your video! I started using an OmniLux mask about a month ago, and have seen subtle skin improvement so far.
I also started using it on my hands, for osteoarthritis -- mine has an inflammatory effect although it's not rheumatoid arthritis. The skin over the arthritic area is red from the inflammation. I've found that after using the LED/IF mask, the redness was gone the next morning after using it the night before. The redness started to return maybe 24 hours later, but by using the mask on my hands everyday, the redness doesn't return. (I've since purchased the hand-mitt version for this purpose.) I've had that inflammatory redness for at least six years, so seeing it disappear is amazing !!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that continued use might help other autoimmune issues.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Other people facing similar issues can gain a lot of insight from such detailed comments.🙏❤️
Occasionally I get flare-ups of allergic arthritis if I eat something that doesn’t agree with my body. Red light always helps a flare-up subside. 🥰 I am actually considering investing in a large red light panel.. Are your gloves from OmniLux too?
@@TheScienceofSelfCare It's a single glove actually, which can be used on either hand. And yes it is from OmniLux.
Very interesting! My father has a bad case of rheumatoid arthritis that mostly affects his hands, so I might get a bulb or panel for him... Thank you!
Whoa ty so much for sharing, I have rheumatoid arthritis & I will look into this to get more info. I dislike taking medications multiple times a day.
@francesb6758: use cold pressed organic castor oil on your hands to reduce inflammation.
I use a red light NIR therapy bag for my whole body every morning. My back pain is gone, and my skin looks great. I use a mask a few days and I use red light total body panels - 4 a couple days. What a change and in so many different ways.
Thank you sooo much for making this video! I bought the Omnilux mask a few months ago before I saw your video, wasn't consistent with it. Used about once or twice a week.
I (had) fungal acne/folliculitis on my right cheek for a couple years that would not go away. I used different products to treat it but would come back.
I also remembered I read an article about led light therapy killing fungus in a science lab experiment. Folliculitis is very tricky to treat, generally speaking.
Because of your video, I decided to be consistent everyday using the mask in the morning. Within a week and especially the second week, my folliculitis had been healing. I no longer have it anymore.
I've also notice my mood being more positive. Having more motivation to finish tasks and accomplish my goals. So Thank you!!!!! For sharing and the inspiration!!!!❤🙏🏻🌻✨😊 I will continue to use everyday!!!!🙋♀️✨🌻❤
Yayyyyy!!! Thank you for sharing! This makes me so incredibly happy ❤️ It’s truly my favorite way to start the day: a delicious red light meditation in bed 🥰🥰🥰
Try using a cotton swab and disinfect the area with colloidal silver. Killed my stubborn toenail fungus in no time. Good luck.
@@ladybluesunshinethanks for sharing ✨ I’m such a fan of colloidal silver! I have a spray version which I spritz on my face as an anti-acne treatment :)
ngl, thought this was just too extra and unnecessary, but you've convinced me to give it a try to help w my mood and skin this winter, ty!!
It’s pretty extra 😂 but it’s become “necessary” for me. Haha hope you love it as much as I do!
This has been the most helpful video I have seen!
So happy you found it helpful! ❤️
Thank you for your honesty. I REALLY appreciate you saying, I do all these things, I can't tell you what the red light therapy contributes. Having said that, I have a mask on order and I can't wait to try it for myself.
Aw thank you! I’m so glad to hear this. I hope you love your mask as much as I love mine ❤️
Robin, thanks for the excellent video! I've been in the business of the science of red light therapy for several years now, but your vid has inspired me to finally buy a mask. Thanks!
So glad to hear it! What sort of work do you do within red light therapy? I can seriously never get enough info :) I'm in love with and amazed by its therapeutic potential!
I work for a young company called PassivaPLT that has developed a new way of delivering photobiomodulation therapy (PBMt): Through a material that converts ambient light (sunlight, etc) to specific red and IR lightwaves and can be added to creams, sunblocks etc. We're in the process of partnering to bring it to market.
I know this sounds like a shameless plug, not my intention, but I'm excited about what we're doing.
@@DougPassivaPLT that’s so awesome!! Love the concept.
Completely different but it reminds me of these solar-energy greenhouses with special glass that only lets blue/green light through (which the plants mostly absorb) and captures other wavelengths to produce energy. Biotech is so cool!! 🌟
Thanks for sharing :)
I bought one extra cheap, but changed my mood the first time. Love you! ❤

I have type 2 Rosacea and Acne...not a good combination. So excited I found your channel!! Love the well researched Videos :) would love to learn more about you skincare routine
I have battled with rosacea and acne (especially when I had major digestive issues)-so I can relate! It’s quite frustrating when you’re doing your best.
I’m going to do a more comprehensive skincare video soon, but for both my rosacea and acne, red light / near-infrared light therapy has been a huge help.
I switched to the green light on my mask for about 3 weeks as I read it was good for rosacea, but my skin lost it's glow so have switched back to red, am really convinced now that it does make a difference
Wow! Thanks for sharing-that’s so interesting. Yes it’s hard to describe, but this treatment just gives you that “glow” from within 🥰
Thank you so much for the video and 20% off code! I plan to order today. ❤😊
Awesome vid! Had no idea these masks could help to improve mood. Thanks for sharing this :)
Yes it’s honestly wildly. I’ve been going on a research deep dive and red light therapy can increase serotonin production and decrease cortisol!!
omg i just stumbled upon your channel and i love it !!
what a well-researched, amazing video. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for joining ❤️
I use the OmniLux mask and love it! It really does reduce fine line and redness, and improves overall appearance of the skin.
Nice! I’ve heard great things about the OmniLux mask. I know this is the one @HotandFlashy uses ✨
Any mood changes?
I use Aduro looks like OMNILUX is from Europe ( I am in the US) I can highly recommend it. I had it for over 2 years and I needed a new strap. They sent it for free FedEx in 3 days💃🏻💃🏻 customer service 10* I am impressed!!!!! I emailed them and told them and Bert sent me one right away. They speak english. They also have neck attachments. I saw this mask on Julia Roberts driving her car 😂 so I researched the name. Aduro 7-1 lights🔥🔥🔥
@@marikatarver60 haven’t researched this one!! Thanks for the tip. If it’s good enough for Julia Roberts while driving, it’s good enough for me ;)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare that's exactly what I thought😂😂
i just randomly stumbled upon this video and i am SO SOLD.
thanks for such an informative, honest review! do you use retinoid (or similar)? wondering how this fits into the routine. thanks so much!
Same! Best device I own. I have NuFace and just purchased the Nira but hands down my LED mask is the best.
I enjoyed your information regarding red light therapy. Thank you I now am confident in purchasing one😊
Your skin is beautiful in this video. I've started using a couple of red light devices .I think they have helped with a long time wrist pain. Going to try a morning mask.
With citations too. Wow great video with veryinteresting data and your own long term use. Really appreciate it.
My pleasure-thanks for the kind words! 💗
Thank you for this. This convinced me to buy one.
I was contemplating to get a LED mask and this video and especially your argument of mood improvement made me make the leap. Thank you 🙏
Hope you love it as much as I do!! Haven’t stopped for a single day since posting… it’s my addiction 😅❤️
They are even testing red light therapy for TBIs and dementia. This is so interesting.
So cool! I'm truly obsessed with light therapy! Seems like we are just scratching the surface of what's possible.. :)
I use a red light “helmet” for my mild hair loss (from an illness).. it’s worked so well. I’ve been using it regularly for a few months. I have so many baby hairs growing now. I do a 20 min guided meditation while I have it on, it’s so relaxing.
I used to go to a salon for red light sessions for my face to heal some dermatitis, this was also great but gets expensive (aud $80 per session) and the light can be a bit intense even with the eye covers.
💃🏼❤️
im very interested in trying the LED hat for hairloss... have AGA and TE. what brand have you had success with and how often do you use it? :)
@@safa1012 the brand I bought is “TLA” from Therapy Lights Australia. Which is about AUD $700. I was using it every day for 20 mins for the first few weeks, now 3 times per week for 20 mins. Good luck 🤞🏼
@@safa1012 following for the reply 👀
Yeahh the eyes its a but much
I also love my LED mask, I have the Omnilux, pretty expensive, but as you said, we use them almost daily (I use mine probably 5 times a week), so the cost/use is not that huge... Like you I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and I have noticed a significant improvement in the last 3 months, my skin is so much calmer and clearer, especially after I had developed some horrible cystic breakouts (which I assume were caused by the collagen supplements I was taking), and also after spending some months in the merciless African summer. I hope I will also get to see results on some very fine lines that have appeared under my eyes (probably due to that African sun I was mentioning). I am also using the mask on my chest even though it's for the face.
One question though, you said you use it for 20-30 minutes everyday? Apparently using it for too long could potentially be damaging - Claire Johnston on the Honest Channel has some interesting videos about this.
Do you have the Omnilux clear or contour (the blue light or red light one) I have redness from roasacea and sensitive skin and some acne and I’m debating which one to get.
I just found you...very nice presentation, audio, video quality,, voice, info, all of it! I'm an aesthetician and I've been researching LED for a few years, just ordered a celluma and will start using this week. They emphasize that LED should be applied to clean dry skin, i.e. No lipids or occlusive ingredients on the skin....do you cleanse your face in the morning before laying back down with your LED mask? Considering you may have some lipid based products on your skin from the night before? Im curious! And I love that 1 side of the panel started to malfunction and you could see a difference! I was tempted to try and treat only half of my face if possible LOL. Thanks for your positive and helpful channel!
Yes, I have read also that the mask should be used on clean skin, yet so many advocate using hyaluronic acid, retinol etc prior to use? The brand that I have stipulates that it is to be used on clean dry skin.
How interesting, I think I may have SAD and really wanted to get red light therapy mask, somehow intuitively I felt it would be good for my mood. Thanks for this, I’m definitely getting it now 😊
Yes I think it’s a great option! When I use it each morning, it’s like the warmth of the sun is shining down on me and I know it’s going to be a great day! ☀️
Ok fine I’ll buy one haha 😉 I had really bad insomnia for months, and someone recommended getting red LED lights for my bedroom to help fall asleep. The result was incredible. I turned them on and within ten minutes I had the best sleep of my life. Now I can’t fall asleep without it. Red light is amazing… can’t believe I hadn’t thought about getting the mask for my skin!
Amazing-thanks for sharing!! Red light helps produce melatonin and lower cortisol so I can completely imagine it changed your sleep! If I ever wake up in the night unable to sleep, I wear this mask for ten or 20 minutes and then fall back into a deep slumber 🥰
Can you share the info? so I know what to buy. Maybe it helps me to sleep better 😫🥹
OOOOOOKAAAAAYYY you sold me! Haha, this was very persuasive and now I have to think about buying one… and yes, it was obvious to me which side was the broken light side.
Yeeee ❤️ 💥 I am pretty freakin happy with it. It does take consistency and patience to reap the benefits though. So it’s most suitable for those who will actually use it veryyy regularly.

I own a powerful red light, they are stronger than the masks but not quite as convenient. I shine on my face and my thyriod for ten minutes each in the morning before getting up. I also microneedle my scalp once weekly and red light my scalp. They 100% improve my mood, and I have also used it on two injuries. A snapped UCL and a 3rd degree burn on my hand. They both healed extrenely well and fast. I think I had a large pimple on the back of my arm that took longer thsn my burn to heal.
Like you I try with my skin, and so I cannot say that it is this helping or the other procedures and at home care that I do. As well as tretinoin. But I have faith in my red light ❤
Wow! Your routine sounds epic! I cannot wait to get my hands on a large red light panel!! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I love my Omnilux! My Hooga panel cleared my leg eczema that I've had for 15 years, and it has never come back since! Wow. How old are you though, you look so young that judging whether this mask has improved your skin is hard - you look a out 25, so firming wouldn't even be an issue yet! ❤❤ Your skin is flawless! 😊
Can you tell me which red light panel you bought? I'd be grateful. I'm thinking of getting one as my Omnilux mask has been intermittent on the lights and I'm Leary of spending another 400 bucks on another one if having problems with first one.
I am 31! And definitely my skin is in much better shape because I take care of it :)
I really want to get a panel! Were you happy with Hooga?
@TheScienceofSelfCare I'm happy with the Hooga in that I believe it cleared my eczema, and it gives my skin a "glow" that is hard to explain! The Hooga emits 660 nm red light and 850 nm of near infrared. The is not the peak ideal values for these, I can't remember the exact numbers, but research that first. I would rather have a panel that emits the ideal nm.
Love your reviews!❤️
I just bought this mask and the NuMe microcurrent. Excited to try them!
I just started using red light therapy on my bunny, who has arthritis. I’m excited to see if it helps! I used to use it to heal a skin infection she had, and it worked well
Wow! That’s incredible. You sound like a very thoughtful pet owner-what a lucky bunny!
Which red light product would you use?
That's so cute😊
Girl wow!!! I have foreo ufo 2 which has red light but I use it like 3-4 times a month. I'll try using it more often for sure! I hope it works
thanks for the honest review!

Red light helped me so much with my ankle joint problem after surgery. Day and night difference.
So glad to hear it! If I ever have joint pain it really helps relieve it as well ❤️
Thank you for this upload. I am a licensed esthetician who is more than familiar with LED therapy. But I had no idea it had the potential to have cognitive benefits in addition to topical. I wonder if this actually has something to do with the technology itself, or if it is from the mental aspect of having a self care step in your routine every morning.
On a non speculating point, it makes sense from a scientific point of view that when the leds went out on one half the results would be notably differnt between the two sides of your face. LED therapy isn't a trend or a gimic. By nature it will always provide results if at the right wavelength. There are no if ands or buts about it. It's a clinically viable and widely used treatment with basically 100% success rate in clients if used regularly. So for those skeptical, it's absolutely worth it. It's one of the few at home technologies that I would endorse. And get the at home version and bite the bullet for upfront costs.
As estheticians we charge from $150 up to over $500 for one LED light session. You need to use this consistently to see results. One session a few times a year won't do anything. Saying it now makes me feel guilty for charging that. Yes, a device could be $500+ but you buy it once. You'd spend close to 50k a year at the low end going in for treatment everyday. Which is how you'll get the best results. Doing it at home is much more economic and ensures you'll keep up with it in the future
I wondered this too - if the mood improvement was specifically the light, or the self care step/ the fact that she was combining it with meditation
Thank you! Is there a brand you recommend? Should you wear goggles to protect your eyes. There’s little discussion about eyes but I understand red light can be bad for them 🤷🏻♀️
This popped up in my feed. I was quite surprised about the mood enhancement. This seems quite intriguing. I'm glad it helps with you waking up. This device should definitely be included in a mega skincare bible of holy grail products.
I tried this for skin. Used it 3 days ago and mood accelerated to be better!!! Then when I found this, this is so relatable. I mean im agreeing her opinion or facts reading from ny exp
So glad you’ve also experienced the mood benefits 🥰
Hey there, I suggest reading about mitoheal/mitoglow (proprietary black-red currant extract) , there was a 40 person dermatologist reviewed photo study on it that concluded in Dec 2022 and they were marked for ingredient approval June 2023.
Would love to see you test this out for us. I have already decided to add it to my routine. Just ordered my first light therapy mask today alongside some longevity supplements :)
I use the current body one most days, it’s really helped my eczema, it clears up in half the time now, I’m 59 & my skin is good for my age ( I’m told) 😊
Amazing! Love to hear it because CurrentBody is cheaper than my mask but I know it’s great quality. So I think it’s a lovely option!
Its simple. RLT powers the mitochondria in your cells.
I have a red light panel, love it!
Hey, thank you so much for your review. Does it work around the eye area, or do I need to buy another mask that covers only around the eyes?
Wow! Was about to purchase just for my skin but this makes sense. Sold! Thank you 🙏 …and citations 👏
Glad to hear it! The skin benefits alone are pretty great. The key is to stick with it consistently and you’ll start to notice *glowing* results :)
Please do your latest skincare routine. You have Excellent skin. We sure can learn a lot from you! Thanks for all you do!!
Omg …. I am just like you.. I dread mornings… I wake up and I immediately want to fall back asleep. I want to buy one , now !!! Thanks for this video
Great video!! I can definitely see a huge difference between the two sides of your face
Thank you! Yes, it was noticeable!
I use a hand held Joovv red light unit. Sore muscles, neck….always seems to help in recovery after workouts. And since im 54 I use it on my face and neck, take collagen and no more wrinkles. No old man neck. I swear by it. My wife wants me to buy a bigger size for whole body use.
So curious to try this for mood effects, cognitive function and maybe skin improvements haha 😂 Loved this one Robin
Thanks Codey! Just finished 30 days in the infrared sauna and can highly recommend that as well!
@@TheScienceofSelfCare Can you go more into the positive effects on your mood? That is my top priority at this time in my life.
I’ve been considering getting a red light mask :) my only concern is near infrared. Have you seen any of the research that shows near infrared can damage skin? I know far-infrared is good for us. But yeah, I’ve read a few studies about NIR which has me hesitant.
But I’m also wondering how beneficial simple red light LED without the infrared would be if I found a mask that didn’t use NIR 😅
@amandakate5233: There are numerous studies proving it's safety. The lights are different wavelengths. Look it up. These are used to heal wounds in hospitals.
I'm ENCOURAGED by you, amd will be getting rhis LED mask 4 sure!
I'm also using the Boost since quite a long time and I love it. I also have the one for the neck and décolleté and I love it. Any of these devices are rather on the pricy side, that's true but from my point of view it is only expensive if you buy it and don't use it.
100% agree! Compared to getting regular red light sessions at a clinic, it’s actually a great price. Considering I bought this over 3 years ago and use it every day, it costs me well under 50 cents a day. ☺️✨
I have a red light therapy vibrator! Yes, it's essential for women who've had children and for perimenopause/menopause to keep things fresh and working smoothly! It's been amazing for the results. Joylux is the name, not cheap but worth every penny. I'm trying the red light mask next!! Thank you!
As you're so young I assume your skin is STILL good.
Now as a 64 year old Red light user I can attest to its results.. not miraculous but definitely worth using..
Love this so much ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing ❗❗🥰
You're too cute! I love your energy and have subscribed!
Currently just using a hooda light bulb but will upgrade eventually.
Oh interesting!! Do you sit in front of the bulb? I’ve never tried one of those.
And welcome 👋 so happy to have you on this lil slice of UA-cam. :)
Thank you SO much for this video!! As a scientist I love your citations :) I got a Currentbody mask over the holidays but am yet to see clear results. A couple questions:
1) the instructions state to use on clean skin or with certain serums. Do you think using it first thing (assuming with lotion overnight) has slowed the effects?
2) my main concern has been potential negative effects on the eyes, as I use it while doing things around the house. I have some mild retinal issues/aging eyes and wondering if you’ve seen anything in the literature re: this, when used 10 min a day.
Thank you!!!!!!!
Red light definitely has an effect on the retina and most masks have a circular protective barrier in the eye whole area… However, there are certain applications for red light to be healing for retina disorders… There are specific ways in which to use it properly, and most of the clinical trials were for people with macular degeneration. I can’t link anything because I don’t have any specific articles, and it’s relatively new, but Google macular degeneration and red light therapy. :-)
Hi, do you wash your face in the morning before you begin the red light mask? Thank you😊
Thank you so much for the insights especially effects on mood and energy!! Just tried out the mask and felt energized so much and will try to include it in my morning routine like you 🫶🫶🫶
So happy to hear you felt energized!
Research shows that photobiomodulation increases our serotonin and reduces our cortisol (stress hormone). It’s such an underrated way to boost our day!
Your skin is fabulous!
I just discovered your channel and everything you shared seems so interesting and something crazy that I would like to do xd thank you girl!
Aww love that!! Welcome! 🌸 Any (crazy) things you’d love to see on here? :)
