I Have Been Using Red Light Therapy Incorrectly!

Red Light Therapy by Alex Fergus

I have been wrong about how I recommend using red light therapy, not about the devices or wavelengths, but about the treatment protocols. Powerful red light therapy panels may deliver far more light than your facial skin needs.

In this video, I explain the ideal red light therapy dose for skin rejuvenation, why more power is not always better, and the potential risks of using high-powered panels on your face. I also share my updated daily protocol for treating my face and body without overdoing either one.

Here are the resources I mention in my video.

Now you need to go back and give a time recommendation on your top rated masks.

I really enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge on this topic you mastered over time. 🤗And i dont forget that a few month earlier i had an "initiate" (relatively dumb) question about red light therapy and you took the time to read and give me a real answer, clarifying everything for me, i really appreciated it. ☺ The best for the next! 😘(admitting being wrong or having fail is the best move above all, its just being responsible, everyone makes mistakes, a few owns to it. That the best best form of intelligence, learn from mistake, share experience. Well done! 😚😘)

I wonder if this applies to scalp and hair growth helmets as well. This is great to know. Thanks, Alex!

Excellent informative video! I only use a face mask for my face but thanks for the confirmation!

@janecantley8138 3 weeks ago

Thanks for your honesty. You did put out a video re dosage some time ago and I reduced the time I use the panel on my face significantly and have seen a difference since then.

Thank you Alex.
This was timely for me as I've been hesitant to start using my new panel.
I've been using a mask for about 3 years and I've been uncertain as to how to integrate the 2 sources.
This vid has quickly helped me sort this out in a way that feels comfortable.

Very interested in a deep dive on the Radiance in relation to this

As research and information on redlight improves, we continue to learn how our body responds to red light best! I find this all incredibly fascinating. I want to continue to learn and find new ways to use this new technology to the fullest and I'm thrilled that the red light community has a terrific source like you seeking out the information for us. I've been using my Platnium panel (and then last year I got my Blue Block light panel) at 100% but now I'm going to do some adjusting and I'm looking forward to seeing what changes might happen! Cheers 🙌

I've been using a PlatinumLED 450 Panel for my face four to five times a week at 8 inches away. I've noticed pigmentation increases. I don't have a mask. I have reduced output to 20% at 6 inches away for 10 min. I appreciate this information. Thank you.

What about sitting out in infrared sunlight first thing in the morning for 15 minutes?

I agree, I used to have an Omnilux mask, and now I have a MitoPRO 300 + tabletop panel. I feel like the Omnilux did much more for my skin than the Mito panel. So maybe the mask is simply better optimized for facial skin.

I think there is kind of way of feeling it, i mean by feeling that it doesnt boost yourself anymore, and that it can be seen on the face. I felt it at my 3rd try i think and learnt about bisphasic effect then.
