Use question
Can red light therapy be used on your face?
Direct answer
Some red light devices and published research protocols are designed for facial positioning, but that does not mean every device should be used the same way. Check the specific model instructions, do not stare directly into the LEDs, and do not transfer the distance or session time from a different product or clinical study. Anyone with an eye condition or photosensitivity should seek professional guidance first.
