Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Red Light Therapy

General Questions

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a wellness approach that uses visible red and near-infrared light to gently illuminate the skin. It is widely used in wellness, beauty, and fitness settings to support general relaxation and skin appearance. This technology has been explored in various clinical studies, though individual results may vary and it is not intended to treat or cure any medical conditions.

How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red and near-infrared light (typically between 630nm and 1060nm) may reach different depths of skin and tissue. Some users report feeling more energized or relaxed after sessions. While the light may influence cellular activity, Red Nova Lights are not medical devices and are not intended for therapeutic use or disease treatment.

How long does it take to see results?

Results can vary widely from person to person. Many users incorporate red light therapy into their wellness or skincare routines over several weeks. Some report feeling more relaxed or refreshed after just a few sessions, while visible changes to skin appearance may take longer and depend on individual factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and consistency of use. These products are intended for general wellness support and are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

Is Red Light Therapy safe?

Red Nova Lights are designed with safety in mind and do not emit UV radiation. However, Red Light Therapy products are not evaluated by the FDA for medical use unless specifically cleared. Always follow provided usage guidelines and consult your doctor if you have a medical condition or are taking photosensitive medication.

Does Red Light Therapy hurt?

Most users report a warm, soothing sensation during use. There is typically no pain or discomfort when the device is used as directed.


Wellness Uses

What are some common uses of Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy is often used to support relaxation, enhance post-exercise recovery, and promote a healthy appearance of the skin. Some users incorporate it into their overall wellness routines. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Can Red Light Therapy support healthy-looking skin?

Many users include Red Light Therapy in their skincare routines to support a refreshed, even-toned appearance. Results can vary based on skin type, device usage, and other factors.

Can it help with sleep or energy?

Some users report improved relaxation or energy after red light sessions, possibly due to environmental or circadian rhythm influences. These outcomes are subjective and not guaranteed.

Does it support hair appearance?

Red Light has been studied in settings involving scalp stimulation. While some users report benefits, these products are not approved for hair regrowth or treatment of hair loss.


Usage & Safety

How often should I use it?

For general wellness use, many users start with 3–5 sessions per week, with each session lasting 10–20 minutes depending on the area of focus. Always follow the instructions included with your device.

Can I overuse Red Light Therapy?

As with any wellness practice, moderation is key. Stick to recommended usage durations and avoid prolonged exposure to one area.

Is Red Light safe for the eyes?

Red and near-infrared light can be intense. We recommend closing your eyes or wearing protective eyewear when using the device near your face.

What if I’m pregnant or have a health condition?

Consult a healthcare provider before using red light therapy if you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking any medications—especially those that may increase light sensitivity.

Any use by children should be supervised by an adult and only under the advice of a pediatrician or healthcare provider.
