How to maximize your results with a Red Nova Lights red light therapy device
Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive wellness practice used by many people to support skin health, relaxation, and overall vitality. At Red Nova Lights, LLC, we are committed to helping you get the most from your red light therapy sessions through education and high-quality devices.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy involves exposing your skin to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths are absorbed by your cells and may help support natural processes like energy production and cellular recovery.
Tips to Enhance Your Red Light Therapy Routine*
-
Select the Right Device: Choose a red light device that suits your lifestyle. Consider factors such as:
- Wavelengths: Look for devices that emit light in the 630–700 nm range for red light and 800–1100 nm for near-infrared. Different wavelengths reach different depths and may support different wellness goals.
- Power Output: Devices with higher irradiance (mW/cm²) may reduce session time while supporting effective use.
- Size & Portability: Handheld devices are great for targeting specific areas, while larger panels are ideal for full-body use.
-
Establish a Consistent Schedule: Like any wellness routine, consistency is key. Many users choose 3–5 sessions per week.
- Session Duration: Start with 5–10 minutes per area and gradually increase based on comfort and manufacturer guidelines.
- Timing: Use at a time that fits your routine—morning for a refreshing start, or evening to unwind.
-
Prepare Your Skin: Ensure your skin is clean and dry before each session to allow optimal light absorption.
- Cleanse: Remove makeup, lotion, or sunscreen prior to use.
- Dry: Pat skin dry to minimize light reflection.
-
Mind Your Positioning: Distance and angle impact how the light interacts with your skin.
- Distance: Position your device 6–12 inches away, or follow your product's recommendations.
- Angle: Keep the device perpendicular to your skin for even coverage.
- Protect Your Eyes: Although RLT is generally safe, eye protection is recommended—especially when using near the face. Use goggles provided with your device.
- Track Your Progress: Keep a journal or take photos to monitor visible changes and how you feel over time.
-
Support with Healthy Habits: Red light therapy works best as part of a balanced lifestyle.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water before and after sessions.
- Nutrition: Eat a diet rich in antioxidants to support overall cellular health.
- Exercise: Regular movement promotes circulation and complements your wellness goals.
