How to get best red light therapy results without overdoing it

[@chevyiceraw]

It’s great learning about how the pulse works. This video helped me know I am getting more benefits with my full body mat that pulses and spraying my self with green tea in a spray bottle before treatments. I use my red lights / near infrared therapeutically for chronic pain, migraines, regulating my circadian rhythm, and brain recovery. Typically, I use my panel and full body mat together for 1 hour once or sometimes twice a day. I have noticed skin improvements on my entire body despite the long treatments. It’s a good side effect of doing full body treatments for systemic pain over the years.

thank you so much for adjusting all the things I wanted to know.

I just bought an upgraded red light mask, it’s soft and more comfortable than the older models. I really like it, I think it’s more effective than the devices I was using previously. On another note, I had a comment about the dry eye… Treatment can be very complicated and usually requires a combination of things… I suffered from this and had a terrible case of it for the last couple of years but over the last 8 to 10 months I have found great relief. when I first started using the warm compresses, I think I was using them too hot, which is actually very hard to tell if this is the case. I developed a little lump in my eyelid. so I started being extremely careful on where I applied to compress only to have it touching the lash line… Yes it was difficult to hold it in place for 10 to 15 minutes. But it helped a lot. Also, taking Alevera capsules, hyaluronic acid capsules and sea buckthorn oil, was the magic bullet. I also use hyaluronic acid eyedrops they are preservative free and I don’t use the over-the-counter refresh or other common brands. Anyway sorry for the long comment but I know dry I can be a very uncomfortable experience! i’m sure your doctor has told you how to massage the eyelids after the compress, and how to clean your eyelashes regularly, etc.… But it is so hard to figure out the exact custom routine to get an effective treatment. I hope you get relief :-)

Hi Claire, hope you’re doing well. Since a lot of people experience under eye bags due to a sleep disorder (I am one of them) or simply due to aging, could you do a review of the “LuminEye LED under eye patches”? I just came across this product and looks like this fills the gaps of red light masks or lamps, since you need to cover your eyes with those. With this solution, you solely target your eyes area. They claim 94% under eye bags and dark circles are visibly reduced in 3 weeks. So that sounds promising… Would love to see your take on this. Thank you and keep on doing the great work!

I have had the Urchin for about a month now and it has definitely madeva difference in my face...it looks and feels more lifted. I also love the sonic cleaning aspect of it as well. It's a great little device that does so much in a small package! Great interview!

I use a bed that has much higher frequencies and stronger wattage. I am using 630, 660, 880 and 840 as wavelength at the same time with 45,000 bulbs. It changed my life but am trying to understand about kin health and what is too much. Since I own it, I can easily overdo it! Because the higher wavelength (NIR) go deeper, I want to continue to get benefits to my brain but don't want to hurt my skin! I can't wait to hear back!

[@thehonestchannel]

Hi Cie. Unfortunately I don't think we could specify a guaranteed safe time and frequency for you because we just don't have the body of research. I talked in the video about minimum use though and that's the approach I would take - what is the minimum duration and frequency you can use your bed that still delivers results? Sorry not to be more helpful!

This was really interesting. Your skin looks absolutely gorgeous! So fresh, bright and plumped, so whatever you’re doing, it’s working! My big problem is skin laxity. I’m in my 60s and my mother had really saggy skin from being in her late 40s so I fear I’ve inherited some of those genes. I’m quite interested in RF for skin tightening but reluctant to spend the money if it isn’t going to work. Love this channel, Clare. Thank you for your hard work on bringing us the best information for aging skin. ❤️

[@thehonestchannel]

Thank you for your kind words! I've just published a video you may find helpful on what I think an effective skincare routine looks like for me. For significant skin laxity, if it was me I would talk to a really reputable and experienced cosmetic doctor to see what they recommend. RF microneedling can deliver good results in the right hands.

[@peggyfisher9743]

You might want to look into the NuFace tools. My mother too had really saggy skin which I inherited. NuFace doesn't make the jowls go away, but does significantly improve the situation.

[@verZatile_bmotp]

It's called a healing crisis (Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction). I found that when I use red light therapy or any other treatment that works, I go through a phase where things get worse before getting better. Just like massive die off of germs inside your body can lead to swelling due to the body not being able to flush the dead cells rapidly enough, I experience a 'bad' breakout when attacking the problem. If I had no issues before treatment, then begin getting breakouts during or after treatment, then it stands to reason that the treatment is 'shaking' things up. If Red Light did not affect the issue... then why would it cause a breakout? My Theory is that the germs, virus, bacteria, fungus or whatever is causing your body issues ARE affected which causes breakouts. I believe that it is part of the process that things sometimes have to get worse before getting better. ALSO, even after treatment appears to be successful, I think it is important to keep going with the treatment even after you think that you've won, since germs are so resilient.

An influencer here on youtube Jodylynn recommends using the Hooga panel 12in away from your face for 5 min and 30 sec a day 5 days a week. She based that recommendation from info found in Ari Whitten's book. That calculation can also be found on a website where you can input your devices info and it will calculate how long you should use it for and how far away you should be from your device with the goal of anti-aging.

Great segment! What are your views on full body red light booths featuring flourescent tubes (e.g. Ergoline's "Beauty Angel" with vibration platform)? The only research I've found appears to have been done by the manufacturer, and all other red light discussions focus solely on LEDs. Would love to hear May's opinion on this, as I've enjoyed the Beauty Angel sessions but don't want to waste my time or $ on something that does nothing. Thanks so much! 🙂

Lots of great information in this video, thank you! Do you know, or can you ask next time, what pulse rate or rates are being used in "pulsed red light therapy"? I have a NIR helmet (1070 nm wavelength, Neuradiant 1070 from Neuronic) that lets me set different pulse rates over a broad range. I could use the helmet on my face for a few minutes at 10 or 20 or 40 Hz, maybe I'll play with it some. For me, the benefits to skin are pretty subtle. I use an Omnilux Men for 10 minutes every other day and have for around 7 months and it seems to help, but frankly azelaic acid and adapalene are a lot more dramatic on my skin. I have also used a Platinum LCD BioMax 900 panel and the effect on my vision is fantastic! I get better acuity, color intensity and even improvements to presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) after 7 and a half minutes with the light at full power 10 inches from my face. Charging the mitochondria in and around my eyes seems to make a huge difference in my ability to see well. The same treatment even seems to improve my sense of smell, probably for the same reason (more ATP production makes everything work better). Keep bringing Bev back, she has a wealth of knowledge!

[@thehonestchannel]

I’ll ask if Bev could take a look over some of the questions and respond

[@maysamabeauty1839]

Hi Tad. Pulse rates from 1Hz up to several hundred have been found to be beneficial in various therapeutic applications. If you can see it pulsing (on/off) then the frequency of you helmet will be less than 100Hz.

Hi. I think Bev would be able to guide you on this [e-mail] - my own view is I would happily use pulsed light for a few minutes a day and then an LED mask later but you shouldn't feel you have to use both. I use my red light eye mask for 3 minutes most mornings and my red light mask for 6 minutes around every other day.

[@maysamabeauty1839]

IMHO you would benefit from using your LED mask in addition. You could always reduce your treatment time with the mask, as you have already had some red light exposure. Maysama Urchin does not include near infrared light (although our Bian Stone LED Gua Sha does).

So it's ok to use the Omnilux for 10 min every day? It says 3-5 times a week I think on their website. But I haven't noticed any benefits from that.

[@thehonestchannel]

I wouldn’t go over the manufacturer guidelines personally. I use red light 4-5 days a week for around 6mins at a time.

[@4tun8nanette]

When will Bev's panel be available?

[@thehonestchannel]

I think later this month. I’ll ask her to let me know and I can share a post on the community page about it.

If we have the regular red light mask-Can’t we turn the unit on and off repeatedly to mimic the pulse?

[@kimbee3921]

Thank you for this information. I have a concern I wonder any one can help with the answer. I have a current body face and neck mask with a ten minute timer. I have a sore knee and a sore deltoid muscle. Would it be beneficial to apply the mask @10 minutes to these areas? Would I be better served with a panel?

[@trishpugelli5371]

HI, i have a question about how much time is good for using the red light therapy. Most masks are 20 min, do you know why, the Dr Dennis Gross mask is only to be used for 3 min per day? are the lights stronger ? I am just concerned ... thank you so much xoxo

[@thehonestchannel]

Hi. We discuss this at 09:07

[@trishpugelli5371]

@@thehonestchannel so even though the dr dennis gross says 3 min, i can use it for 6?

[@thehonestchannel]

@@trishpugelli5371 Personally I would follow the recommended time of 3m with your mask. We were discussing red light therapy masks and devices in general and Bev was making the point that although we can’t pinpoint specific treatment durations without the scientific evidence we know just a few minutes could give us enough while 20 may be excessive.

I was using red light every day and started getting hyperpigmentation.

[@thehonestchannel]

I’ve heard a few viewers say something similar happened to them and as we discuss in this video, it’s definitely possible to overdo it with red light.

[@olga_b344]

can you use acids like Azaleic Acid or Salicylic acid straight after LED red light therapy? And what about Retinol?

[@laniphillips8321]

I have the 1st FaceMaster. Not sure what it Is

[@loribecchi8819]

I have the mask so what's the point of having to use a separate eye and lip mask?. Doesn't the mask cover most of it? Not any lights above the lip though, so I put the mask on my lip area for a few minutes.

[@thehonestchannel]

The lip mask I tried for six weeks because I was sent it and it's designed to be worn right up against the lips like a dummy, so it's a little different to the mask. No need to buy one if you already have a mask though. I use a separate eye mask because my eyes are a problem area and so I deliberately give them a little extra each day. I use the eye mask for 3mins when I work out every morning and then I use the mask every other night. For most people, a mask or panel is perfectly sufficient if you want to try red light.

[@loribecchi8819]

yes been using Omnilux for like 4 months and I do see a ddifference in skin tone, not red anymore and more even, fading of acne scaring but not too much on the crows feet lol I also have been doing dermaroling too that also works for a lot of things if used consistently that IS the key!@@thehonestchannel

[@colleencolquhoun8818]

Can you use the urchin current if you have Botox or if I have BOTOX. by my eyes just stay away from my eyes and I can do the rest of my face?

[@thehonestchannel]

It’s usually best to ask the practitioner who delivers the Botox as they will have direct experience of this. Personally I would let my Botox settle in for a month or so before using microcurrent - or avoid the area as you suggest

[@KJB0001]

So are your improvements from the dermapen or microcurrent or red light? - how can we know which yields the best results when your examples are a combination of many devices and creams?

[@thehonestchannel]

As I often say on the channel, one person can never be a scientific study and a journalist with a skincare channel can’t use just one treatment. But I have honed my routine down to what I feel has worked best for me over the years and red light and microcurrent are my favoured devices.

We can't get Bev's Maysana products in New Zealand. Her sales people told me they don't have a delivery/distribution arrangement here.... clearly haven't heard of the world wide postal system.... Perhaps we really are a banana republic in the third world, or some ancient breakaway state from the USSR in the very far middle east... given they are this unresourceful I do wonder what their products are like (as someone who has set up and delivered on a world wide internet sales system from rural New Zealand ). Other than that good video and I am looking forward to more!

[@thehonestchannel]

Sorry to hear they don't post to you - hopefully that will be resolved soon. Thanks for watching!

[@ladonhaugen3302]

In the USA I order maysana from the Mito company in Scottsdale Az.

[@primordialmeow7249]

I feel for my skin care freak friends in NZ as so many companies do not deliver there. I have a Kiwi friend and I buy here in the US and send them to her. The arrangement works well.

There is also Sjögren’s syndrome that causes dry eyes on maybe people with it.

Can use on darker Asian darker skin Any hyperpigmentation issues

[@thehonestchannel]

This is discussed a little by Bev as hyperpigmentation issues have been reported in some people with darker skin. I would contact the manufacturer before buying to seek guidance

[@esterig.9955]

Can you comment on the joov?

[@melissamullen9179]

As far as I know, there’s not a doctor on the planet that would agree that red light can be damaging. And that’s over 8000 peer reviewed studies. It’s a cheap shot to say that when I should hope you would know better.

[@thehonestchannel]

I'm afraid that's not correct Melissa. No one is saying red light in and of itself is damaging, but we do know that too much red light could be counter productive and you will indeed find doctors and scientists on the planet who agree. www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/red-light-therapy

[@cainabel2009]

I agree, most studies have stated that over doing red light therapy is not damaging. Also, Bryan Johnson a guy who spends two million dollars a year and also spends 30 mins on red light therapy every day would agree with your comment, he has a team of doctors that monitor him every day. If it was damaging to his cells then his doctors would surely have spotted it, since they monitor him round the clock and you are that is a cheap shot.

With the panel if you are standing 12 inches a way do you still need to turn every few minutes to really cover the side of the face?

Thanks! Clare you Mentioned a device to help with your eye glands. What is it and do you still use it?

Thanks so much for the contribution Cindy - it’s much appreciated. I use a little vibrating red light pen called the Venus in summer to help unclog blocked ducts. It is not designed for this purpose but i finds it helps. I will do a dedicated video on how I manage my dry eye through heat, omega 3 and red light.
