⚠️ Risks of Red Light Therapy: What You Need to Know

While red light therapy (660nm & 850nm) is widely praised for its wellness benefits, improper use may lead to adverse effects. Here's what to watch out for:

👁️Eye Damage

Direct exposure to red or near-infrared light without protective eyewear can potentially damage the retina, increasing the risk of conditions like macular degeneration.

🔥Skin Burns

Overexposure or misuse—especially with high-intensity devices—may result in skin burns. Individuals with sensitive skin are particularly vulnerable if safety guidelines are ignored.

🌿Skin Irritation

Some users may experience allergic reactions or heightened sensitivity due to pre-existing skin conditions or photosensitivity. Always consult a healthcare provider.

⏱️Overuse Side Effects

Using red light therapy too frequently or for excessive durations can cause dryness, redness, or irritation, and may overload the body's natural healing response.

⚙️Interference with Medical Devices

Users with implanted medical devices like pacemakers or defibrillators should consult their doctor, as red light therapy may interfere with such equipment.
