What should you be wearing?

During a red light therapy session, it's important to expose the skin to the light, so wearing minimal clothing is recommended. This allows the red and near-infrared light to penetrate effectively into the skin and underlying tissues for maximum benefits.

If targeting specific areas, such as the face, using a face mask may be beneficial, although the effectiveness of such masks can vary based on power and energy output. Larger wall panels tend to be more effective than battery-powered face masks, which often don't have sufficient power to produce significant improvement 1 2.

When using red light therapy, ensure the exposure is comfortable and safe for your skin and eyes. You can allow your eyes to blink naturally during exposure, but avoid looking directly at the light if it's too bright or uncomfortable 3.
