Yes, she looks like a physicist, and like she has all the resources to buy and test each and every red light product. The measurement device alone costs 3-5k for a mid range one.

I’m 52 and I’ve been using my LED mask for 3.5 years. I see really good results - rather than “reversing” ageing, it keeps my skin looking healthy and I expect I have less signs of ageing than what I would have if I didn’t use it. 💖

A very informative video. I’m in my 60s and have been using the Omnilux mask for a little over a year. I love the results. My skin is smoother and fine lines have faded. But what I’m really thrilled about is that my small broken capillaries are disappearing . I didn’t realize this was a benefit. I’ve never had Botox because my biggest issue is my drooping upper eyelids which as far as I know can only be fixed with surgery.

I can not believe that my broken capillaries went away after having them for 15+ years after 3 months of a large red light panel. I only noticed after she stated it in this video. INSANE

Injecting botox in the forehead would probably cause your eyelids to become more droopy, but injecting it under the brow near the corner of the eyes can help a little bit with droopiness (my derm explained this).

[@sammaxxingg]

This is me speaking in the TikTok 👋 to clarify, I didn’t say that other facial muscles work “more,” but rather that the brain will send a signal to express through the face, and in the complex dynamic of muscles involved in virtually all facial expressions, there will be a “tug of war,” the end result of which will be movement that impacts the skin causing dynamic wrinkles. I’d also note that while red light therapy wouldn’t prevent movement and the process of creating dynamic wrinkles through movement, it would mitigate their development. Youthful skin has the elasticity to stretch and spring back, and red light preserves these qualities for longer by 1) thickening the dermal layer in opposition to time thinning it, and 2)stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis which also declines with aging. Additionally, red light has a photoprotective effect akin to SPF 15, and stimulates DNA healing after UV exposure - so if one is comparing the two, it’s easy to argue that red light would be a superior treatment to Botox if one is solely thinking about face anti-aging. Botox has other indications of course. Also given that consumer facing red light therapy is quite new, there hasn’t really been a dataset of people using it preventatively from 20s to 50s, so it is unclear how profound of an effect it might have over time.

Happy Thursday Dr Dray ❤ thanks for all your great advice, I stopped smoking five years ago but only started skin care last year. I now wear factor 70 sunscreen and a giant hat outside, and even sunscreen inside no. I also use a red light mask every evening before I put on my retinol, it’s early days but I see some small improvements on my skin. Thirty years of smoking and sun damage have left me looking older than my 54 years but I’m being consistent about this ( and my exercise too!) so hopefully over the years I will stop anymore damage even if there isn’t a huge overall improvement. Keep on educating us all!

Hey Doc, great discussion!! 😊 From personal experience, I have seen amazing results from a combination of “Baby Botox” and a red light home mask . I only get a few units of Botox in my glabella and in my chin twice a year; I use my Omnilux mask every other day. I have been using this method for over 5 years, (I am now 51), and have seen a drastic improvement in my skin tone/texture/fine lines. It seems that the masking allows me to extend the time between my Botox treatments and I have very few static wrinkles. I do agree with you, consistency is key with these masks!! I have never missed a treatment in 5 years, but I am an extremely routined/scheduled person. 😝 Oh, and I move my face a lot, laugh constantly, drink from straws all the time, and just genuinely enjoy life (always with sunscreen, of course!!). 😉

For me, wearing contacts, accelerated my forehead wrinkling because, even when I was using eye drops, my eyes would get very dry, so I would inadvertently squint and frown, because of the discomfort.

I started using red light (and other colors) about 14 months ago. I used it daily for 5 months; now 1x-2x a week. It’s more because I have sun damage and dry skin and uneven texture & tone. I saw a real improvement in my skin texture (I’m over 70 but don’t have tons of wrinkles-yet,) the rosacea and hyperpigmentation. I’m quite pleased with the results. I use the Aduro mask.

[@LizLyonsPhD]

I learned a technique called Chua K'a that relaxes the muscles that botox addresses -- far safer and free, as you do it yourself. I do use the OmniLux infrared mask and can see a big difference in my forehead and around my mouth. That combination is harmless and inexpensive. (And, for information, I am on week 62 with the Omnilux. I use it 3X per week as they recommend and plan on doing this for life). (It has helped my rosacea).

I get Botox in my cervical area to help with god awful muscle spasms due to the aftermath of 3 spinal fusions. Also, I get it for migraines. I benefit from having my elevens and my forehead done. It’s helpful all around. I can’t move my forehead and elevens into a constant frown when I have daily headaches… which is a huge win. Otherwise I’d look mad all the time and I don’t have awful static wrinkles as a result. It is HUGELY beneficial in my cervical area and I am forever thankful to the doc who started this process. It’s amazing with how well it helps constant pain after having three spine surgeries. Im not pain free… but my quality of life is incredibly better than without! Red light is just something I am starting with and I am very excited about it’s benefits. At 51 my face is starting to go to places I don’t recognize! 😳

I have a Mito Red smaller panel probably about 10” x 18” just eyeballing it. I lift it onto my countertop when I put on my makeup early morning while I do any other skin treatment that day. I think it’s been preventative and helps with my circadian rhythm. I sometimes have it in front of my face a few minutes at night too. My mom used it for miraculous recovery from knee surgery 2x. My eyes have adjusted to the light and while I don’t look directly into the panel I think it’s likely good for eyesight too much like very early morning sun purportedly you are supposed to look toward. But the way I use it I’m always multitasking. Highly recommend. By contrast I’ve never had any in office procedures prob because my skin hasn’t really needed it. I also gave a Nira, a Nuface and Tretinoin. I don’t often wear sunscreen unless I’m going to be out of the shade directly in the sun for more than 5 minutes. but my makeup has some and I always wear sunglasses unless it’s raining as my light blue eyes demand it. But my red light panel is important to me. I hope I can always use it.

Hi Dr Dray, Could you please discuss Vitamin D infusions? My recent blood work showed that my Vitamin D levels were even lower than my last blood test. My new doctor said that she has Vitamin D infusions once a year, as it's more convenient for her, rather than taking a daily oral supplement. It seems that it is also more economical, safe & controlled than randomly subjecting oneself to the sun's damaging rays. I think many viewers would like to know about this option. Thanks! 👱🏻‍♀️♥️

I went in at 9:30am, she did a light exfoliation on my face and then the gel. the gel felt tingly but totally tolerable! the tingling went away on my right side of my face by the time she was half way done with the left side of my face. those two steps took a whole maybe 5 mins. then i sat in the waiting room for an hour. then i went into the room with the red light panel (it also has a fan, so it's very tolerable!) she did 10 mins on one side of my face and 10 mins on the other. (the machine turns off automatically after the 10 mins!) i cannot go outside for 48 hours. after the 48 hours i will still be senesitive to the sun for a few weeks. i think she said. she said i will KNOW when its time to go inside, my skin will start tingling. im considering getting the Omnilux Mask, i asked my derm about it, she said its very useful for different things! exactly what Dr. Dray was naming here! i would obviously wait until im healed from my in office red light therapy before i go buy the mask. i do look like i have a little bit of a sunburn but nothing scary. i'm 33 years old.

Do red grow lights work as good as $300+ RLT face masks? I know my $23 Great Value grow light from Walmart finally got my plants to grow, and the plants that I used regular sunlight from several different types of plants did not grow nearly as well as my $23 grow light from Walmart. The grow light I have lets you choose from red, blue, or red + blue. I have some well established plants that have an obvious fungal issue (among different plant types). When I used blue light, the fungus was able to be completely eradicated vs sunlight in the same setting. I recently started new plants, and the seeds that sprouted with blue lights didn’t develop ANY fungal issues vs through regular sunlight like I’ve done for several years. I looked up to see if the blue light had anything to do with it because it was extremely unusual for me to not see a single sign of damping off around my seedlings and young plants. Apparently, blue light is anti fungal. Now when I use just the red light option only, my plants grow towards the red light vs bright sunlight, and they just grow so much better. I wish I would’ve known about this years ago. All this being said, I believe affordable led red grow lights can work just as effectively as expensive face masks. I am going to try it out on my skin and see if I notice any measurable improvement.

I think it’s also good to use red light maybe for a couple months then the a break for a month and so on. I notice it tends to be drying to the skin so let it have time to heal - which to me would help build collagen. If you are constantly breaking things down it never has time to rebuild.

Can you use retinols with red light therapy? Also what do you think about eye protection with the at home masks? I have sensitive eyes.

[@vickyoli]

I do both😎

[@peachy8808]

Not sure if you can answer this, but does smoking cannabis have the same negative effects? Thanks always!

[@qingdaogrrl]

what about using a panel of red lights instead of a handheld device that you have to spend a lot of time with?

[@mrgabyderek]

Dear Dr. Dray: I frequently read that some product or therapy reduces the "appearance" of wrinkles. Does that mean it's an illusion? Is the item reducing the physical properties of a wrinkle (depth, length), or not?

[@MoniMoni-hn5jf]

What is better retinol or coloroterapy???

[@melinapech8804]

As always Dr. your advice is always appreciated and you’ve encouraged me to buy my red light device

[@bettarautio7000]

Not injecting anything…we have great filters to use now on social media😊😅😊! I do use red light therapy…and what about bone loss due to age? Please address age related bone loss! Thank you Dr Dray! ❤

[@omairafigueroa9089]

Which one is good ?! Please help us buy the right one or a good one

[@ruthbar5352]

Thanks DR. Dray. you look great! May I ask if you get botox? just out of curiousity 😃

[@mstarburst]

I started getting botox at 33, I had mild dynamic wrinkles- 3 years later I do have some static wrinkles on my forhead now, maybe I just have extremely strong facial muscles but I now have bunny lines too as I can't frown 😅 so for me my other muscles did over compensate

[@marksurette5241]

Dr Dray will you produce a video on the benefits of Red-Light Therapy for people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis?

[@Asha_Claymore]

Dr. Dray- Can you use red light therapy the day of and a day after botox injections?

[@louisah6020]

which mask did you use? The omnilux?

[@juliasummer4796]

What is your opinion on Lightstem for wrinkles? Thank you 🙂

[@ashley-t8x]

Hi, can you replace tretinoin with red light therapy?

[@myavoiryamisenko6865]

they adress different issues

[@annyu4301]

I heard red light will worse melismas, dark spot. Is that true?

[@MelissaK295]

I have used Botox before for hyperhidrosis in my armpits. I have been considering the newer treatment, Miradry! Can you do a video talking about this treatment? Also, is it safe for pregnancy and/or breastfeeding?

[@claudiasmith9117]

Good morning Dr Dray ❤

[@DrDrayzday]

Morning!

[@Nicole-xn7mi]

I had a question. I have been using red light therapy mask for over a year now, and just recently I started getting laser hair removal for stubborn chin hairs. I have gone through 9 treatments this far and the dermatologist does not know why it hasn’t worked on my chin hairs. Could the red light therapy be a reason for this?

[@tonyj4271]

hope you're all enjoying your Thursday xo

[@DrDrayzday]

You too!!

[@lauralatman5127]

Another excellent video! Question re a mask such as Omnilux: if this type of therapy leads to hair growth on the head, will it increase facial hair growth?

[@wulfsorenson8859]

Yes

[@looneylax18]

Hi Dr Dray! Could you please talk about the benzoyl peroxide recall?

[@db-gb5xi]

She has a short on it and so does Lab Muffin.

[@Isabelylina]

I saw she responded to this on TikTok

[@evw0220]

Thank you 😊 any red light devices that you recommend?

[@anevaygalindo]

Can you make a list of your top red light devices? I want one for the body but I’m not sure what would be good

[@alissahague4779]

Would you recommend putting vitamin A on and then using my LED mask over top of my vitamin A or do my LED therapy first and then apply my vitamin A. Also, can I do two rounds of the 10 minute increments how long is too long to use your LED at one time?

[@irenebernardi3954]

Fantastic video! Are red light devices dangerous for people who suffer from dry eyes? I stopped using retinol because of dry eyes and wonder if red light is feasible.

[@e.a.4926]

Actually I did a bunch of research into this. Red light is actually used in the TREATMENT of dry eye disease. Red light in the eyes can unclog meibomian glands. In office, the wavelength that is used on the eyes is 433 nm for dry eyes. Many at home red light devices emit this wavelength. Including the Omnilux.
