Safety question
Is red light therapy safe for your eyes and skin?
Direct answer
Eye and skin safety depends on the device, output, distance, duration, and individual circumstances. Do not stare directly into LEDs, and follow the eye-protection, distance, and session guidance supplied with the specific device. If you have an eye condition, photosensitivity, or take photosensitizing medication, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
