- Have you heard of red light therapy and its supposed anti aging benefits per Bryan Johnson, Andrew Huberman and Joe Rogan. Well, as an investigator, I couldn't resist putting this therapy to the test for 6 months straight to see if it could reverse my facial age. I was initially skeptical at first, but what I discovered was shocking. The effects were shockingly real and went beyond just physical improvements. Join me on this journey as I share my investigative findings and reveal whether red light therapy is the real deal or just another fad.

he called mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell and won our hearts.
exactly what we have been taught.. woOT!
Yes, many decades ago when I was in school, we were taught that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cells, and this resonated so deeply with me that I became fascinated with this topic.
Hilarious that he’s not even a real doctor 🤣
"say the line Bart"!
Speak for yourself. Absolutely hate it when people speak as if they are speaking for all. You are not.
For 20 years I had severe pain around my butt and hips (meaning I got limited sleep every night). The only option a dozen medical doctors gave me was: take morphine 24x7 for the rest of your life. Finally last year, in desperation, I bought a cheap £12 Phillips IR bulb (large, but happened to fit some lamps I had). Within 2 x 30 minute sessions I could feel pain relief without medication. I now use it for 30 mins every other night. People should try the cheap option first, see if it works for them.
Those are hot though too! I have a couple of the big IR lights in storage and a similar problem with my butt out to the hips ruining my life on a daily basis. Now I will try this, damn! I hope it works, I will re-post after trying it out for a while.
@@sandrainthesky1011 they are hot, I just keep mine a few feet away so I can feel the heat but it's not uncomfortable. In fact it's so warming I often fall asleep during it and wake up to find my butt has been irradiated for 60 mins not 30 mins.
So you put it in a lamp and expose your bad area to it then. Do you have to have exposed skin, as in you have to lie w/ at least naked in that area for a half hour?
@@saintejeannedarc9460 I bare my butt, yet from my understanding IR light should pass through clothing
I use mine, too, it's 50 years old and works just fine.
The photos of your face are not identically illuminated. In the "old" image you can see two tiny reflected spots over the pupil in each eye. In the "wow, it's shiny," the reflected illumination image is clearly much, much bigger/brighter. I'd be far more impressed with two images using identical lighting.
Sounds like this is a paid promotion for the right light led company 😂
@@Jay59754 it helped me cure serious disease. You can't go wrong with a flashlight that includes red and blue nm zone. The laser diode works better for reconditioning my skin.
His before photo even looks better. But, I need something like this 4x bigger or more. Put in in the wall. $100-$200. They should be able to do this with cheap plastic OLED printing. But potentially poisonous material. The ones they use in phones with very high efficiency, have different reject formulations that give different frequencies. Rejected due to not enough life span. At $100-$200, it would not matter.
Better than promoting those vaxses and boo sters that you have to take every month
I tried red light therapy and ended up in a seedy side of town.
The PhD that first spoke of the benefits of red light years ago, now deceased, said two red 250 watt halogen lamps from Home Depot do the job. Super cheap forget the big expensive lights
This isn't a 100% solution -> Light Wavelength: Red light therapy panels use LEDs that emit specific red and near-infrared (NIR) light wavelengths, typically around 660nm and 850nm, which are believed to be therapeutic. Halogen lamps emit a broad spectrum of light, including some red light, but not at the concentrated and beneficial wavelengths needed for red light therapy.
Light Efficiency: Halogen lamps waste a lot of energy generating heat and light across the spectrum. Red light therapy panels use LEDs which are much more efficient at producing the specific red and NIR wavelengths for treatment.
Safety: Halogen lamps can get very hot, potentially burning skin. They may also emit some ultraviolet (UV) light, which can damage skin cells. Red light therapy panels are designed for safe use on skin.
Sounds like those old-school bathroom sunlamp bulbs that warm you up when you get out of the shower.
It's all abot the wave lengths and power. No difference weither it comes from LED or halogen as long as the wave length is the same.
Do you use it? How much does it cost at Home Depot?
@@OolongG952 I use them and they work great. I sleep better and helps my hormones. I disagree with the guy bashing halogen lamps. The halogen lamps I have are not white or yellow they specifically have a red filter on them. The light from them is red and you don’t have to sit close to them you can sit a few feet away and they don’t burn I don’t know what the first comment guy is talking about.
Probably the most comprehensive, well explained red light therapy I've watched so far. I literally learned a lot and most of the parameters you mentioned are the details I actually need when shopping for red light therapy devices. Thank you for making this video :)
ua-cam.com/video/mvr0Ub3TG_Y/v-deo.htmlsi=zBrcU1_uJa0_TNp8
Great information but i wish the before and after pics were taken in the same light
Yes right, his comparison is basically comparing apples to oranges
That's how ya sell a product! Also, don't smile during the before shot.
Excellent video! One of the best I've seen even out of the other UA-cam doctors. Thanks!!
Great video! So informative and professional. Finally someone who knows what they talking about. Thank you.
*You have explained more about red light in terms that I can understand and given sources more than other video I've seen on this subject.* *Thank You!*
What a great video!! Your explanation was super understandable. Thank you so much! You also have such grace and poise on the camera 👏👏
Have you seen the green and blue led lights?
Thank you Manik! I LOVE the science and evidenced based science and breakdown of how red light therapy works and what it is doing. Especially the different wave lengths. I appreciate your time and efforts in bringing and sharing this information. Your work has helped me to move forward, purchase a red light and begin therapy. Many thanks!
Knowing expressively the materials used to make these devices the cost they are selling them for is outrageous
Right? they just surf on the fact that it helps with skin and antiaging
But what about the intensity and necessity to ensure such doses ? Does it justify the price ?
buying leds with such specs and making it our own should be hard though because output should be tested and confirmed
@@Fian_so it is super easy to test output and lumens. There is at minimum 10x mark up on price
@@Fian_so led illuminance light meter. 15 bucks
Great review doc. Very well said.
Hi - this video is very well done. One correction we would make - it is is not necessarily true that the more LEDs there are the longer they will last. LED chip efficiency depends on a large number of factors including: the class of compound semiconductor used to make the LED, the structure (doping, thickness, composition) of the semiconductor layers in the LED chip, electrode/contact design, light extraction structures added or created during fabrication of the LED chip, operating temperature and the current density. Current density is the amount of current per unit area of the LED chip. Of these factors, the most significant is the class of compound semiconductor used to make the LED chip.
Furthermore, LEDs in panels like ours use focusing lenses (also increases efficiency) and are typically driven much lower than their maximum (25%-50%) - minimizing heat creation to help ensure longevity. The bottom line is that there are several variables involved in the LED package and panel design, which will determine efficiency and longevity.
If you've enjoyed the benefits to your skin, we'd suggest trying a more full body setup! All the best - Team Mito
First time watching you. Great content man keep up the good work. Very educational. Subscribed!
Loads of information, no waffle! Thank you 👌👌👌
Thanks for going so deep into all aspects of red light!
The best read life therapy review pretty much ever
Wonderful. Good at theory, and practical, and enthusiastic. A pleasure to watch and learn.
Thanks for this video. great info
Your video is very informative. Thank you. I like the illustrations! Research has shown that consistency of use is the key to results found with RLT. So, I tried a RLT face mask. It was expensive, when I purchased it a year ago.I followed the manufacturer's recommendation for minutes of use and frequency of use. I do self-massage on my face. My 70 year old face has changed. The skin behaves like younger ,plumper ,more elastic skin, even under my chin. The visible sun damage has diminished. I now make sure to sleep 8 hours each night and eat foods ,daily, to help my body to make healthy skin.Sunscreen and moisturizers are essential to my skincare,now.
@Manik Madaan Do you recommend this panel for full body hyperpigmentation from ezcema?
Very helpful information. 👌
Thx for your response. Which is the best specific device to buy and where to buy it from and how much does it cost? This is for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Appreciate your response and guidance. Ur God send.
Interesting
$1800 device to provide convenient at home treatments taking only 5 to 10 minutes multiple times per week (makes it easy to reliably do treatment)
Vs
Clinics charge $25 to $150 per session, not counting travel time to/from clinic and wait time at clinic. (More likely to skip treatments when you get busy.)
Plus can share device with spouse or family member.
LED’s should last years.
But there are much lower cost units that still work. It would be interesting to test the wavelength and power output to see if manufacturer specs on the cheap units are close enough to provide benefit.
Definitely doesn't have to be $1800. Mine is a base model one that's about two feet tall that cost $430. It's "spot targetting" but more than enough to get my entire back and front.
$2473, and it seemed like they wanted to add shipping on top of that for Canada. Ouch.
Manik is also affiliated with Lumara - I think it's odd he didn't mention that
check out hangsun infraheat lamp $120
I built my red light box for $60, inclusive. Love it.
How does this compare to the BestQool panel you use in the other video? Is this better for facial anti-aging? Would I be missing out on all the sleeping and health benefits of using it on my body? Thankyou!
I was wondering the same thing. There is a huge price difference between the Bestqool panel and the unit he's promoting now. I'd like to know what happened with the Bestqool. Maybe it stopped working; these are things we should know so we won't purchase something that won't last.
What specifications on a device do you recommend for arthritis?
Your channel is soo adictive for BIO lover .....Thanks for information ❤❤😊
This was a very informative video. Thank you!
Great video ❤. Thanks.
Hello Bro.
I have one Question in mind.?
If you do extra shifts or do extra work like night in racidency did they pay extra or not.
Please mentioned them. ❤❤
Can the panel be used all over your whole body?
Or would you have to do a each body section on different days?
Thanks
Hello! Could you talk more about this specific panel? There's so much info out there about other panels and I'm struggling to find more information and reviews about this one.
Hey doc question would this be effective on something like malar bags or under eye bags?
Great video Doc. Very informative. Thanks.
Is it better to use it at night or in the morning? Or it doesn’t matter when to use it?
Very good information 👍🏼
Can you recommend a panel what i can use for full body? I want it for healing from sport and anti aging
What is the name of your device and where did you purchase it?
I came to learn about red light therapy, not only did I learn a lot but also feel like I learned Hindi as well - you've an awesome accent!
doc i wanted to ask you what kind of visa should a resident choose because J1 compels you to return back to your country and India doesn't hand over the NORI to indian physicians making it impossible to get the J1 waiver.
Please help me this
thank you
Excellent information. Lots of things you can do:
I'd like to see you continue this series by trying the other wavelengths that increase cognitive performance, and muscular performance. Also, can you try/recommend a cap for hair loss?
Maybe you can do interviews with the researchers who came up with these studies? Since you're a doctor you can probably get access to them, and ask relevant questions.
Also, what about just going outside? If you are worried about UV, go outside in a shaded area? Like read a book in a gazebo? Won't you be exposed to the same red light? After all, white light comprises all the colors.
I'd wonder how this compares to just doing some cardiovascular/working out in a lighted environment? Cardio would have lots of the same benefits and more like lowering cholesterol, improving memory and neurogenesis Anyways, keep up the good work.
Do you still use the body panel from your other video? Is it ok to use both?
Yes
Can we use the Illuminate device to help recover a foot capsulitis or would you say that it won't reach that far into the tissues/nerves?
I would use a full body panel with infrared to deal with those issues
Greatly appreciate you sharing your opinion of ideal parameters. Could you please share your studies of reference and your state of where you hold active medical license?
I use a 14$ infrared bulb from my local farm supply and have for YEARS. Helps with the redness of my teenager’s acne flare ups. Works amazing.
Infrared is not the same. I bought a red light lamp for €35 on amazon.
Sir i failed step 1 in my first attempt.
Now what should i do please help me
I am looking for a full body pod for skin & overall health restoration. Can you recommend a device?
So I understand very little about EMFs and trying to figure out the hack recommended to reduce them. I believe it's important for health and safety when using panels and mats. Question... how does the jameco device connect to the regular two-prong wall plug for use with a panel?
So what if I get a panel that has a power density of 110 at 6in but I just stood a foot or 2 away from it for anti aging would that work the same as 30 close up? And then I could use this panel at closer range for healing benefits etc ?
Hey bhaiya 💙💙 I hope you doing well!
Let me tell you the first thing i noticed was that your facing looking so glowing and charming tbh and maybe that's the effect of red light and well Rember me?
And wish you best!
Red light therapy clinics popping up all over my area in Florida. The cost packages for 15 minutes plus a whole lot of other poppycock are insane! For a few sessions I could buy two Infrared whole body domes. What would some good home/personal use infrared devices that you'd recommend?
Full body panel for muscular and anti inflammatory effects. Face masks for skin anti-aging
Contour light is I think the best my Dr charges $30 a session. Really helps with my pain especially nerve pain.
Fascinating. What do you protect your eyes with while using this device?
I usually just close my eyes. But some people wear tanning goggles. The red light won't damage your eyes. It's your preference.
@@WELUVWILLJUM, After I use mine, the rims of my eyes burn or sting a little and I do wear goggles.
Amazing video and information. We just got the one you have from Lumara Systems, your brand is affiliated with them. Question: There were no instructions to how to use the Power Supply. Looks like there are different levels and then pulsing. Not sure what that's all about. Just curious if you an speak about that and the preferred levels to use and how to use. I did write an email to the company and waiting to hear back. Strange instructions didnt come with the panel. Also nothing on the website. thanks.
I believe you got a newer variant. Mine doesn't have pulsing or different intensities. I would reach out to the manufacturer
@@manikmadaan Sir, can you do before and after photos in same lighting and angles? That will be more authentic and honest to see results.
I just started the red/blue light therapy and i look and feel better after just 4 15 min sessions. I have RA and joint inflammation and im sleeping so much better because im not in so much pain anymore
Can you recommend which red/blue light therapy you are using? I have arthritis in my wrists & one knee & hip. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the explanation! Well Done! Can you share with us where did you buy your LED?
In the notes
I have also noticed how glowy my facial skin looks right after using red light.
I just bought the panel you used in your first RLT video! Was that one too strong for your face? Noticed it's more than 100mw. If so do you suggest I don't shine it on my face? Thanks!
You can definitely use it on your face as the power decreases with distance, so it's safe. Make sure to use it at least 6-9 inches away from you. It's great for full body red light rejuvenation. The one I am currently using for my face is for anti aging facial + hair benefits.
@@manikmadaan Thanks for the tip! I think I'll try this panel out and if it works really well, will check out the flexible panel for the face as well. It's not cheap though! xD
😅GREAT THUMBNAIL BRO YOU NAILED IT
Interesting. Are there any papers about this effect on the skin?
Are all the parameters mentioned good for hair growth on the head? I'm assuming so since hair follicle is skin deep 🤷♀️
Thank you so much! I've been looking into trying red light therapy at my local tanning salon, but even other doctors didn't give this much detail! I feel so equipped now lol
Wait… I’m a lighting designer, why does this talk about power (and led #) but not the distance away from the source to the skin? The inverse square law would apply, wouldn’t it?????
Just saw your other video! Do you prefer this panel over the other full body panel you originally usef?
For facial anti aging this panel is better. However for overall benefits the full body panel is great.
@@manikmadaan thank you!!
Thanks for giving the great details 👍 . There’re so many red light therapy devices in the market that one has to be careful what we can use for , eg for skin, hair loss … Could you do a video for hair loss ?
Can you review the Irestore helmet for hair loss? Can you breakdown red light therapy for hair loss.
Hi, considering your first video on the topic, do you still do the full body therapy?
yes, this video was just dedicated to facial anti aging.
@@manikmadaanhow come ya didn’t mention how ya still used the full body one? Also, do ya have a reccomendation between the 2?
Subscribed! I am also interested in learning about your full body protocol.
@@supracuriousBecause he's a scam. He's not gonna answer questions that his spidey senses tell him might expose inadequate research on his part.
@@Kube_Dog 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would like a video on the benefits of Methylene Blue :)
The most definitely!! ))
the price of that LED is insane. can you recommend a very cheap one that does the same job ?
Unfortunately many devices, especially the cheaper ones don't meet the medical grade requirements and I read that they can even be compared to putting a lightbulb by your face... Which causes negative effects... Not benefits.
@@deyaniragutierrez8970 it’s understandable but I mean what’s the best value, the one he’s advertising is obviously or seems at least very overpriced even if it’s good quality. I’m asking if there one with good quality to an affordable price
I would like to engage the services of a doctor for device recommendations including wavelength, power density, energy density, dosage and placement of diodes, basically the best device/s for my specific health issues and how to use it for home use. Is this something I can engage your services for or can you refer me to a provider?
Can you used normal led red strips?
For use with a TBI, what kind of numbers should I be looking for?
Would love to know if this device could also work on the eyes. Or, is this just for the skin & or just a certain spectrum or can it be adjusted.
I have heard new research coming out about red right therapy to improve stimulation of the mitochondria in the eyes to improve vision, by at least by 30%. Thank you.
Dr. Berne has a pair of red light therapy glasses on his website specifically designed for the eyes.
Do you think it could help with turkey neck?
Also, would it cause a woman to have more facial hair? If she normally has blonde fuzzy type of facial hair.. not a big problem with it normally
I just received my ILLUMINATE panel in the mail today. I'm so excited.
How has your experience been?
@@brian8647 Good, I ended up ordering a Mito Red Light because it has the near Infrared wavelength and i even use it my older dog for his arthritis and he loves it.
Best informative video yet. Started researching years ago for cfs and body pain. Been using a hard heavy panel many years. Helps heal many things helps with pain and for my face at near 70 hardly wrinkled. No kidding. Good genes helped tho not just the lite and good facial care my whole life. No smoking and no sun on face without cover. But like you the face is fuller and skin healthy and am very happy with results. Use the same spectrum of red lite and the white lite. 880 and 660. Thanks. You look better then when started.
Great results! Do you apply any other product to your skin throughout the week?
moisturizer, sunscreen
@@manikmadaan👍
Do you think we need 2 different devices? One for face/hair and one for body?
One commenter just bought a bulb and used her own lamp….said results were great with 2x30 minute sessions.
Hi Doctor, would the mole on my face getting bigger and darker if i use Red light Led device? Thanks
I never knew what brain fog was until I came out of a session of red light therapy and everything was absolutely quiet
What wavelength did you use?
When you talk about energy density, is that energy measured from the input to the device, or is it somehow measured from the light output of the device?
Ouput
Watch your videos regularly. Attended a usmle interview yesterday. Out of the 5 interviewer, i answered the 4 faculty members. Was not satisfied with the Answer to the 5 person. Will it affect my ranking.
Definitely maybe....
I am planning to use the 800 range to deal with my herniated.Disks, do you have any issues with that?It's to me deep tissue wailing.Correct me if i'm wrong
Use non altered photos (retouched) for before and after!
All of them are raw. You can put them through AI programs that detect Photoshop or other forms of touchups and it will tell you the same thing
some of them have reduced sharpness on the beard luck of detail on the skin texture and look softened at least,But maibe i can't see right :)@@manikmadaan
@@ahnehtub2 I think every photo is going to be a tad different, due to different light or time of day, esp. if he didn't take them in the exact same spot.
What happens after you stop using it? After a day, week, etc?
Vese Manik Bhaiya app hamari Inspiration ho. Aj MBBS kar raha hu India mai par apke jesa banana chahta hu
Love u a lot bro . have a wish to meet you once in life
Thanks Bhaiya .
🌹WoW...))Question: do you mean this can help brain function, or/and various chronic illnesses?? What about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?? Thank you so much.. 💓 really waiting for your response...)))
I stuck deciding between Joov and Platinum LED Therapy Lights. Which one do you feel is best?
I think there's a lot of value in the doctor's video, but the before and after photo isn't so honest. The lighting is significantly different - low light in the before - bright light in the after. Still, all the other info shared is wonderful, and I thank him for that.
How many nm to build my immune system?
I was using mine for seven minutes and my blood pressure would go very high. I do have a problem with high blood pressure and are taking meds. Now, I use it for only three minutes. It’s not the brand that the doctor is talking about. Anyone here have any idea why this happened?
Thank you for your work here. AND I wish you would let the presentation documents stay up on the screen way way longer than just keep quck shooting them and then shoot back to your video image talking. No offense please but it would be great to be able to read the supporting charts and graphs. Thank you!😊
What about using red light on the hairline, on my head - would it have the same effect? I saw that there's a device that has all led lights and pulsations, is that a good combination? ufo something
I need to research red light therapy for hair loss reversal and will make an update on it
So first you said that 1070 nm wavelength is beneficial for cognitive benefit, but your device emitted only 660 nm. So which wavelength do you recommend for cognitive benefits?
dr manic. due to some personal problems i had to repeat my year 4 in med school. i will graduate next year wanted to pursue usmle, but now feel its gone case, are my chances lost completely
should i just leave this dream and focus on plab or will it not affect my usmle journey,.
i just need your honest opinion and advice,.
you got his, don't stop
Congrats! You’ve reached 4th year! Don’t give up and keep your goal in mind!
The skin benefits are crazy for myself , energy sleep, workout recovery, and even make sexual health, hair, it's all true and works
Sexual health? Do tell.
@@kevinmorris9712 red light works by releasing nitric Oxide out of the mitochondria, that is the gas that your blood and body utilizes for vasodilation, which means the opening of blood vessels and increasing blood supply to the area, I'm sure you can figure out the rest 😉.it's also good for increasing testicular function.
Yeah, sexual health? Will it make your peepee grow?
I sunbathed in my teens and early 20s...years ago when scented mineral oil was considered responsible skin care. I have fortunately dodged any signs of skin cancer and have now been far more responsible over the last decades. I recall feeling like the sun was very therapeutic. I now presume that it was the penetrating IR that indeed had a therapeutic effect. QUESTION: Rather than "investing" in yet another bit of technology, as an aspirational luddite and minimalist, might I just get back to responsible sunbathing (using sunscreen and avoiding midday)? I.e., would a good UV block sufficiently permit the therapeutic end of the spectrum?
I think that could definitely work, but the problems arises when day to day life gets in the way or it's a cloudy day
I read that you can get near infrared light first thing in the morning, or at sunset. It's all part of the earthing practice as well.
What would you recommend to heal neuropathy on the legs?
get a full body panel from amazon
What about those single Infra Red lamps that are used to keep food hot and used in an infra red sauna, and some call them heat lamps and others say they are Infra read lamps and are said to be as good as the kind you talk about in this video for healing but ARE they real IR lamps and do they also help heal nerves, bones, muscle , skin, etc? Or are these single red lamps just good for heat ? The company or brand of kind i have is Feit. and no where did i find specific info ...so i emailed them and even asked if their lamp wavelength is 660 to 800 and something...and no answer yet. The person who responded to my question, did tell me she is having to go to other workers or look it up as she did not know. So still waiting. If you know or know how i can find out or look it up..pls comment on that.
Infrared is not the same as near infrared(NIR) or red light. It's a different wavelength. If you want these effects, you need NIR and red wavelengths.
Using both have shown greater results says Dr.gray
