Sensitive skin calls for a gentle approach
Redness and sensitivity can have various causes. Therefore, it is not wise to treat every red or sensitive skin the same way.
What do we know about red light?
Red and near-infrared light are being investigated within PBM for various biological processes. The outcome depends, among other things, on wavelength, dose, and protocol. Research into PBM does not automatically mean that a specific home device will produce a certain result.
Start gently
When using a new device, follow the manufacturer's protocol and do not increase usage faster than indicated. If in doubt or if you have an existing skin condition, professional advice is wiser.
The most important rule
More light or longer sessions are not automatically better. Red light therapy is about an appropriate dose and a consistent, responsible protocol.
