• Always start with clean skin. Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser that’ll remove sebum and other debris from your skin, and make sure to rinse it away well.
• Consider also exfoliating your skin to eliminate dead skin cells and help the light reach even deeper.
• Next, apply a water-based, hydrating serum (hyaluronic acid serums are excellent).
• Finally, use your LED light device. With a tool like the Evertone Infrawave wand, you can simply turn the device on, and glide it over your skin. Always massage upwards and outwards to give your skin more of a lift.
• Don’t forget to use your red light device over other body parts where you have specific concerns, like your chest or neck.
• Once you’re done, finish off your skincare routine with the rest of your products, and don’t forget to apply moisturizer.
• If you’ve used your device in the daytime, make sure to also use sunscreen. 

FAQs about How To Use Red Light Therapy At Home

How often should you use red light therapy on your face?

For the best results, use your home red LED light device at least three to four times a week. You don’t need to worry about overdoing red light therapy, so if you have more time, you can even use it on a daily basis either in the morning or at night.

Are there any contraindications or precautions?

Home red light therapy devices are a very safe option for almost everyone. That said, if you have epilepsy, eye conditions that impact your sight, or you take medications that cause photosensitivity, you may want to speak to your doctor before undergoing red light therapy.

What are the potential side effects of red light therapy?

There are no serious side effects associated with the gentle red light therapy devices used at home. Stronger machines may lead to some skin irritation or cause eye strain, especially when it comes to masks, but wands are a particularly safe choice.

Can red light therapy be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Pregnancy is generally not considered a contraindication for red light therapy. In fact, dim red light has been studied as a potential treatment for depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Even so, we highly recommend that you speak to your doctor before undergoing red light treatments if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
