I tell my friends and family to never invest in a mask. Either get a small panel or save up and get a bigger panel. A panel, of any size, is an overall better value. You can use it to treat various parts of your body. Another great video man!
Just read your comment literally minutes after purchasing the Omnilux mask, lmao. This video followed up on Alex's review of the Omnilux mask. An acquaintance of mine actually looked into panels almost two years earlier. Although I'm usually the kind of guy that would look for the best value and broadest use for such tools just like you, the form factor for the mask seems like a big pro argument in my case.
@@emlinend Actually a NO-heat red light mask is better to keep melasma from getting worse or possibly happening. Alex does point out that panels create so much heat that they have fans built into the panels. See an explanation from a medical doctor: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yKx1St5NJI0.html
What a thorough review, Alex. You covered all the angles, gave pros and cons for each, and most importantly, you relied on science & research, not personal opinion. I like the fact that I only need a few minutes in front of my Mito Pro 1500 to have the same effect as 10-15 minutes with a mask on. Thanks for the comparison.
I was about to purchase the Omnilux, but decided to check here for some reviews. Thanks to this video and the comments below, I decided to get the MitoPro. Though my intention was for skincare, I'm curious about its effects on the body. Thank you for your thorough review, and the coupon code!
I did exactly the same. Just before I clicked to buy Ominlux, I read a comment on a panel and started looking into panel and eventually bought Mito 300+. So happy with the decision.
Me too! I was almost purchased the light salon boost LED mask!! But then I see this video, Im now considering to buy the MitoPro too. Have you seen results from it yet? Is it good?
I love the Hooga panels. I have 2. Excellent quality, great prices. The panels have 2 buttons-one for red light amd one for NIR, ehich is great. And excellent customer service
Excellent video. I agree 100% that a table top panel is the way to go compared to a mask. For travel, I purchased the Mito Mobile Flex. I love my Mito red light therapy products.
Ohh I love the Mito Flex - it's my travel product as well (though lately I'm also taking my Kineon Move+ as the 3 little pods are quite handy for spot treatments)
At 3:45 The newest Omnilux mask provides roughly ~35 mW/cm2 according to their FAQ page on their website which is a bit closer to the 40 mW/cm2 from the low end panels. I'm going with panel most likely, but just posting if it helps anyone with deciding.
just bought the omnilux during their black Friday sale. I travel a lot and thought it would be better for me for that reason. also the masks seem to have ~630nm more often than the panels which I found to have mostly ~660nm, so I liked that. I'm thinking about buying a panel too but I wasn't sure where to start. I'll take a look through your videos and hopefully get some options :)
I bought a mito 3rd generation table top for about 500.00 This was by far a game changer. I also bought one the most expensive masks and it by far was not as effective for me. The face mask did cost more than my mito panel.
Great video. I love the omnilux men mask that I purchased. Ten minutes lying down each night and it's relaxing and calms my skin. I like that it wraps closely to my face. The only downside are the Velcro straps to secure to face.. a bit fiddley and basic considering the price paid.
Yeah I agree - the straps are rather cheap. I just finished testing the JOVS mask - that design is SOOO much better - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-883kYrq2leI.html
These facial devices are works good too I had hand held devices like baby quasar and others with there tiny bulbs but you have to put them right on the skin.I was suffering chronic seborrhea and after using it like 20 or 30 minutes the healing started very fast and almost gone in the next day.But my hands got tired and I guess I'll try the panel...
@@LightTherapyInsiderswhat’s your take on wearing eye protection when using the panel? Is it better to turn off the infrared and just use the red light function when using it on the face directly?
I went through the debate, panel or mask.? Went panel, so versatile, the whole family uses it, use it on any part of the body , gives light onto the face,neck, and chest in one sitting.
@@lilij1915 Hi, propped on a table for my face . I place the back of my hands in the light, shine it also on my neck, décolleté , turn my head to shine the light on the sides of my face and neck as well. Propped on the table for my back.For the top of my head for hair growth, it is placed on the floor, my head on a few pillows.
Your channel is really great. I have a current body mask and helmet, I probably spent £1000 or so on it. But after watching your videos I think the biomax is the best option. I will start with one and try to build up to four
@@LightTherapyInsiders I saw on siim land’s channel, he showed there is a bell curve where too much red light is counterproductive/harmful. Does that mean that more powerful could be a bad thing?
I bought the Empire Marvelous LED wand that has 4 colors, bought it almost 2 years ago. But I feel like I paid too much - 5,000 when I could have bought one for much less today. So many new LED products today at affordable prices
Watching this again for a second time. I have been using the hooga hg300 for 3 years. It's not helping my pigmentation much but it has helped my texture and smoothness. I think the masks are such scams. Most of the companies give a 30 day return window but you cannot even use the mask. It has to be returned unopened. It's nuts. Qure is one of those companies
Totally agree. Panel is more powerful, more versatile and the session lasts much shorter. For skin 3 min is enough. You didn't mention Mito Original 2.0 panel for $249. In my opinion it's excellent value and takes little space thanks to kickstand you can fold. Mito PRO and Adapt you showed in the video are also great but have larger stand and higher price tag. I would not invest in $400 in a mask if I wanted to do light therapy on face at home. $250 panel will provide much more light. If people need a portable device, still handheld Mito Mobile Flex offers stronger light and much more versatility than a mask for $249!
Thank you for all your informative videos and hard work! I am looking to invest in a panel myself, just interested in what your thoughts about lower irradiation + longer duration vs higher irradiation + shorter duration? I think a dermatologist was saying LED light therapy is like marinating meat, the cells need a bit of time to soak up the energy slowly to be effective rather than a strong fast hit. What are you thoughts and experiences?
Yes, definitely something to this. Check out this section of my interview with James Carroll - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUCt5CmGrcI.html
I have much respect and faith in your thoughts as I appreciate your honestly and objective reviews. I am desperate to use red light therapy, but I am petrified that it will worsen me melasma. I have really bad melasma on my entire face; I am a Fitzpatrick skin type 4. I have tried everything as well as 8% hydroquinone mixed with azelaic acid etc (made a modest difference , I am serious) . I tried Meladerm, Cyspera, Retin A, azelaic acid 15%, Tranexamic acid, Arbutin, Niacinamide, Good molecules, Vit c etc ( and the list goes on) with modest results. I am vegetarian, does not eat processed food and does moderate exercise 3X a week and very vigilant about using sunscreen and reapplying! I would like to try red light therapy but I get mixed results about the effect on melasma, some says it does not affect melasma and some says it does for example Dr Vanita Rattan prohibits the use of red light on skin of color and I believe Dr Sam Ellis made a similar comment. I would appreciate your thoughts on the effects of red light on pigmented skin like mine…much appreciated.
Please watch some videos by Dr Eric Berg on RU-vid. It is likely a hormone issue (too much estrogen) or a diet issue (insulin resistant). This is likely why topical treatments aren't working. Fix the issue within and you will likely fix it's outward reaction.
i was considering the omnilux but I will save up for a full body panel, omnilux is half the price yet just for the face and way way less powerful, if the mask was around $100, It would make sense
Excellent review thank you. I wish to know which of the devices are FDA approved, FDA cleared or simply FDA registered as I do not feel safe buying a device that is not FDA approved as this is the highest safety rating for home use but it does not attest to the efficacy or results simply safety .
Great video. I appreciate your hinesty. Even though I have 2 hooga panels and love them, I bought a mask recenly bc I wanted green light for my hyperpigmentation. I agree with you. I am finding the mask to be annoying to put on amd take off. However, I havent foind my pabel to help much with my hyperpigmentation. I have a 60 day window and may return the mask. I can see getting annoyed with it and then I wont use it
WORD OF CAUTION ABOUT USING THESE PRODUCTS: I am a healthy 30 year old female bought the Infraredi Slim Lite after watching this video to hopefully help with working out and skin health. It is possible that I am photosensitive and I just didn’t know before buying this product. The product tells you to do a 4 min test on your arm to see how you’ll react to the panel. I tested it out with my arm but was also facing the panel with my face and eye protection maybe about 2 feet away. I realize this was a mistake. After doing the test, I felt a huge wave of energy and ended up having a panic attack and dry heaving for an hour. What’s worse is the strain on the eyes. I had the product’s eye protection on but I felt like the light was still kinda seeping through. I saw stars right after and couldn’t focus my eyes for 12 hours. My eyes continued to be strained and dry for the next few days. They became more sensitive to light. I still don’t think my vision is 100% back to what it was. I’m not saying that red light therapy is bad. Clearly it works for people. What I am saying is that everybody’s body is different and you don’t know how you are going to react to it. If you’re testing this product, face your head away with the eye protection, away from the light the first few times so your eyes are safe. Do the lowest brightness possible for testing. Also make sure someone is in the house with you when you test it. I think it was really helpful that I wasn’t alone when I had a panic attack from the energy I felt after testing the panel.
I may be the exception but I had a good quality panel and a red light mask. I sold both of them as I noticed no results or health benefits from either. I do have a small lamp with red/infra-red light and I use it occasionally to help with small niggling pains in my bones. Otherwise, for me, a complete waste of money.
Wow very interesting! Especially because the science is so solid - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7TYWriLoY2k.html and hundreds of people have shared positive stores on my channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iH5ez_wxdlM.html
My panel states this: Our device delivers much more than 100mW/cm2 of irradiance at the surface, and at least 73mW/cm2 at 6 inches. With irradiance measurements like these, you can be sure to get an effective, efficient amount of light to your body when using the device. So should i go further away for my face care or shorter time?
Either further away or a shorter time. Those are high numbers, I would ask what meter they measured with. I use a spectrometer, which is very accurate, and my readings are substantially less than what most companies advertise. Most companies do not use a spectrometer.
Hi Alex, thanks for your informed reviews. What do you think of the Megelin machines that act like a table wrapped around your face or body part? And can you comment on pulsing? This offers a pulse but alternating with the blue light. I can’t find much information. I love my machine!
Thank you for the info. I'm deciding between Dermalux flex and Omnilux contour. The Dermalux treatment time is 30 minutes as the Omnilux is 10 minutes. I'd buy the Dermalux now but I'm trying to figure out if 10 minutes on both are comparable or if you need more time on the Dermaflex to get results of the 10 minutes. Time may be a factor. Thank you so very much for any thoughts on time comparisons.
I suggest you follow the manufacturer's recommended time and dosing recommendation of 30 minutes for the Dermalux for best results or the 10 minutes with the Omnilux.
Thank you for this. I have been looking for (asking for) device information to no avail. You have answered almost every question I had in one video. Brilliant! I am wondering if some devices can be used for multitasking, ie helmets for face, masks for hair growth, or a panel for all of the aforementioned. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any information you can offer.
No worries - it's still a solid product. I just found panels are offering better value. Check this out though - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o9ODOKYXTxY.html (and then read the comments)
I have not heard of any HA fillers being dissolved. Here's an article on my website that might help you:www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/red-light-therapy-for-skin-benefits/
Glad I chose the panel. So do I only need to use it in each area for 5 minutes or the full 10? This thing needs to come with more information, thank you for providing it when the company doesn't. I got the smaller Mito Pro and think I made a good choice. I was able to make payments on it.
It's hard to give exact dosing guidelines (I'll be doing a video on this soon). But if you're using it 6-12 inches away I'd use it for 10mins per area.
None of these panel devices are cleared by the FDA. They are marketed under the ILY code which is 510K exempt, so most are not even tested to the correct electrical safety standards or photobiological standards. The claims made on the panels are completely off label and there are very few of these rigid panels that are cleared under the 510K route.
Can you review this mask? Supposedly the pulse lighting is supposed to be more effective than other LED mask lights: Maysama PRANA LED Light Therapy Mask

Have you tested the aduro face and neck mask? Do you have a video or am affiliate link? Also have you tested any of the wraps? Any affiliate links or videos I can review? Pretty please
A good blend of wavelengths is best. However, I saw befits with RLT with panels that only has 2 wavelengths. Check out the articles on my website regarding different wavelengths.www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/tag/guides/
Hey, I haven't reveiwed that one yet - but I have reviewed this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d4rhHOJR4FM.html Also - if travel is the goal - then you will love this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oDgHhZJVbsg.html
Hi Alex! Thank you so much for this! I was thinking of purchasing the Omnilux Contour, but after watching this video I think the MitoPro 300 would be better. I am interested in only skin care benefits. I have a question I was hoping you could help me with please. Considering I suffer from melasma, would a mask be better for me since it doesn't get too warm? Would the MitoPro 300 make my skin get too warm? I'm worried because melasma is triggered by heat. Please answer. Thank you in advance!
Hi, I also can’t use the masks because it brings out my melasma and it’s actually two things 1. heat and 2. NIR (inferred) so I can only use Red light. The omnilux actually left brown dots from the bulbs on my forehead that’s how I put two and two together as to why I was getting brown patches on my cheeks all of a sudden. I had a perfect line of dots across my forehead and that’s exactly where the lights were on the mask. Good luck and if you find a mask or panel please update me. I’m looking to by another led
Any size panel will work. Treatment time and distance just need to be adjusted based on the panel's power. Check out this article on my website:www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/red-light-therapy-for-skin-benefits/
I just got a torch style 5 LED (490, 630 660 850 900) unit with focus attachment from Amazon. All stainless.18650 battery instructions say 200 mW/cm2 at surface 64 at 3 inches!
What would be better for healing the jaw after jaw surgery? I bought a Hooga 300 but it’s kind of annoying having to stick my face in front of the panel. It also doesn’t feel like it’s quite wrapping around my whole face. A mask seems like it would cover all angles of my face and maybe even reach my jaw joints on the side which is another area of concern. My only worry is that the mask might not be as effective as a panel? But if the Hooga mask also deliver near infrared, wouldn’t it theoretically be the same as sticking my face in the panel? My primary goal is to reach the bones in the face.
I considering purchasing the MitoMind Helmet for someone that had a stroke. I'm interested in what you would say about the efficacy of this device vs a panel.
Hey so honestly I would stay away from the consumer products and work with someone who has experience in this field. You could check out Vielight. Or have a listen to this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uezgIJmPsu8.html But if you subscribe to the channel I have an interview coming out in the next week or two with Dr Randy Beck - he specialises in helping people overcome serious brain disorders. He's working with my son at the moment.
As use have a great experience in red light therapy, can you tell me please if hair max band 82 (for treating hairloss) can be used on the face like the other RLT masks?
Your not mentioning how to grow hair. How can you put a panel on top of your head? Keeping something like that 6'' away from your skelp is kind of tough.
Are there any panels that do not have inferred or that you can shut off. I get brown spots or it brings out melasma I never had. As soon as a stopped using the Omni mask the discoloration disappeared in a few weeks .
Has anyone else had problems with major dry eye or panels ruining their vision (even wearing the goggles)? I bought a Dermalux Flex and have had blurry vision and dry eyes now. It could have been a coincidence, but I doubt it. Now I have to wear glasses. I noticed even when wearing the goggles I saw a lot of light from the corners. Have you ever heard of this before?
There is some evidence that high levels of NIR light can lead to an increase in eye cataracts later in life. Panels come supplied with eyewear protection, so you can use them with panels :)
Masks can still work well - and they do still have a place - it's just another tool in ones toolbox I guess. In fact - stay tuned, as I have a video coming out in a week or so that shows how beneficial LED masks really are.
Alex, you are obviously "Marketing" for the panel companies you have been pushing for over the years, as you know better than what you have stated in this video. You already know that there is no real comparison between a non-contact panel and a flexible contact pad/blanket/mask for power and dose efficiency and arguably deeper penetration. The contact type pad/blanket/mask has very little reflection losses or heat losses...thus the low powered LEDs... the non-contact panels on the other hand have up to 90% - 95% in reflection losses, plus heat, fan/electronic losses on top of that! Contact type devices are HUGELY more efficient in both power losses and effectiveness in treatment. Alex, tell me, what are the percentage of testing and medical studies done with Red Light Therapy using non-contact panels? None you say? How many of the medical studies use contact type LED and Laser devices? All you say? Yes, because of the huge control and dose efficiency compared to the scattered/divergent and highly reflective nature of light panels. Reading or looking on the phone while standing in front of a light panel...really???? Even if you could somehow...what about the risk of cataracts/eye damage from IR light? Also, I'm sure you at least looked at the Omni website and you know that they offer (3) different types of masks depending on what your needs are, each with different LEDs... one for Men, which you used, one for women and one for acne....
Hey, Hmm I disagree with your points here. Let me start with the top. Firstly as I often say I'm affiliated with lots of RLT companies. Including companies that make masks. I have done 3 reviews on masks to date (the 3rd will be published next week) and the commission on masks is actually higher than panels. I believe the markup on LED masks is rather high, i mean just compare the products - one is metal with fans, cords, drivers, hooks, LEDs, control screens, remotes, big boxes etc, the other comes in a small box, silicon with some low powered LEDs. The LED mask companies are in the beauty space - which is known for it's huge margins and also it's huge marketing budget. My point here is financially I'm better off promoting masks. The commissions are better, the conversion rates are better (sleek websites, more 'glam influencers' promoting them etc and thousands more reviews and testimonials). So I'm not simply trying to 'make a bigger buck'. As for this point: > as you know better than what you have stated in this video. To be completely honest - when I filmed this video (~6 weeks ago) I would have wagered my life savings that panels were superior in all areas. Honestly. But I have become a bit more open minded over the last few weeks - mainly after my trip to London and after speaking to a few experts in the RLT field (my interview with James Carroll being one - which comes out this week btw, another being conversations with the team from Neuronic who are getting extraordinary results with such low irradiance figures). And yes now if offered that same bet I wouldn't take - or at least wouldn't risk as much. As I am starting to learn more about light reflection etc. I'm not too sure if penetration is a problem with panels. And on the efficiency front, sure % wise more light from the mask will be absorbed into the body vs a panel. BUT the panel LED's are soo much more powerful thus even if a large portion is lost, you're still netting a big amount of light anyway (though I don't have hard numbers to quantify this). And yes, I want to explore this topic in more detail. A lot more detail. I'm getting asked a lot about mats. And I really can't provide any comments on it as I haven't use them nor do I fully know whats going on with the light. But I do want to know, and I will definitely share the findings with everyone as well. > the non-contact panels on the other hand have up to 90% - 95% in reflection losses Is it really 95% lost in reflection? Keen to learn more. Are their documents to show this? Again I will read it all and share the findings - and of course work it into future reviews and recommendations. >Alex, tell me, what are the percentage of testing and medical studies done with Red Light Therapy using non-contact panels? None you say? Not true, there are half a dozen or so studies done using non-contact panels. And plenty more using non-contact targeted devices. And yes most studies are done on targeted, direct on the skin treatment devices. But so what? Does this mean one is better than the other? No. Not at all. It shows that the targeted direct on skin treatment devices are much easier to measure and no doubt that helps with research. But I have 100's of people who have emailed me over the years sharing their stories about how there $1000 panel has totally changed their life or fixed a chronic problem. I myself until VERY recently had only used non-contact panels. And the benefits I had were profound. So by simply saying there is little research does not equate to 'it doesn't work'. But yes direct contact could still be better, again - I need to learn more and welcome any resources to help me learn more :) > Reading or looking on the phone while standing in front of a light panel...really???? Even if you could somehow...what about the risk of cataracts/eye damage from IR light? I do this every time I use my RLT panels, and have done for years. It's really quite simple? As for IR light risks - most companies supply glasses that filter out a big chunk of the IR light, so I just wear them. >Omni mask. Yes valid point. And maybe I was being too simple with my analysis - but I have experience with the mens mask so obviously referred to that. Though Omnilux have told me that the Men's mask is perfectly fine for women. In all honestly I just think the 'mens mask' name is just a marketing play.
@@LightTherapyInsiders In my first post, I may have been too judgemental, my apologies. My statement of 90% - 95% skin reflection losses was directed at panels specifically, as you also have light divergence. From your video interview of James Carroll, devices like his therapy bed reflect the light back and forth and I assume there are less losses with that device when compared to an open panel, and devices that are positioned directly on the skin, especially lasers which are in phase and not divergent, would have lower skin reflectivity. In this video interview with James Carroll, he collaborates this with his statement of 70% - 80% skin reflection, (@ 32:50 timing point in the video and other places) which I'm assuming was from the device being measured at/near the surface of the skin. I was surprised at that point in the video/interview, that you did not ask him more questions about skin reflection, as that is one of the most important things that is needed to know about light panels. Very much looking forward to a follow-up video with James Carroll and future videos with other subject matter experts.
Hey! Haha thanks. In all honesty I've been a hat guy since I was at high school. I used to get in trouble by my teachers for not taking my cap off inside. All my years PT'ing I wore a hat. I wear hats inside, outside, to the mall, to the gym... it's what I do. And I was doing this well before I even thought about hair loss :P But maybe I'll make more of an effect to take it off in my YT videos :)
One thing I think you didn’t consider (unless I missed it) about silicon masks is that they are up against the skin and the silicon is going to be refracting light all over the place and conducting it into the skin, especially as it warms up from the lights and skin temperature. Because of the use of silicon and it being up against the skin, I think your concerns about the distance of some of the leds in skin contact therapy devices may be unfounded
Lov the comparison.. I purchased a hoofs pro 300 series table top and curious about the mask.. thx for pointing out differences!! Appreciate!! Great work as usual ! Bravo 👍💪🏻😉
I bought red light panel from Chinese website, which has 660nm and 680mn, It is so thin, and foldable, like a laptop, it can be connected to mobile App for controlling , it is sooo advanced than these lights you shows here. I guess they are not the latest tech.
Actually a NO-heat red light mask is better to keep melasma from getting worse or possibly happening. Alex does point out that panels create so much heat that they have fans built into the panels, which may or may not make melasma worse. See an explanation from a medical doctor: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yKx1St5NJI0.html
Thank you so much for this video and your other videos. Incredibly informative. I really don’t want a mask with lights right on my face so your solution is superior. I might get the Hooga 300 but I need to see your other videos for comparison first
Thanks Alex. Would love to see a review of the Lumara 1800 Red light panel. It’s in a different price league but used by cosmetologists and aestheticians. Claimed 6,000 joules of evenly distributed light in just 5 mins. I’m considering this as getting an even distribution of light from my BBL Mega panel requires turning from side to side and really bumps up treatment times.
Such a great overview, thanks. Do you think surface coverage might affect the results of mask vs panel? The masks contour the whole face whereas the panels leave a lot of open space for light to dissipate. Do you know of anywhere I might find out more about that? Many thanks, Antonia
Yes, this could play into it. As the light is more likely to reflect off when emitted from a distance. But, the panel power output is so much higher, so you need to factor that in as well.
I was giving serious thought to buying the artemis mask, its very pricey, but i was willing to pay for quality. After your videos decided to go with the mito pannel. Btw used your code. Thanks 👍
Can you help me? My wife is sold on the marketing scam of Medical grade and NASA LED. Also, the panels are only for healing muscle even when they have 660 LED on them. She thinks the masks are only for skin regeneration on the face. She thinks not all 660 LEDs are the same!
I used my Omnilux for face for a while kind of disappointed. The charge started malfunction less than 1.5 year. Its under warranty and got a new one, again same thing...charger doesn't work after 1 year. It says fully charged. Plus its so weak and time consuming. I use the face mask for both face and neck, took 20 mins. I m planning to get the Hooga pro300 panel soon. It will save me a lot of time each day and light will cover both face and neck in 5-10 mins. I wish i saw your video earlier. Thanks
There are better masks on the market than those ones. More power doesn’t always mean better, the right amount for the task is what is best. They are two different products and there are masks with more ideal wavelengths and led positioning than panels, plus they don’t produce heat which causes melasma to people prone to hyperpigmentation (typically women). You can still use it on the body if it s the flexible type and won’t take up room if you live in a smaller place. Overall I find the masks to be a product that target women better than man. I choose a good mask that delivers over a panel, will get a panel if I get obsessed with this therapy and want to do all my body at once 😊
Panels are just not practical for face imo. Especially if you want to do it covertly with roommates. Also I want the red light on my eyelids and areas precisely around the eyes. Unfortunately the power output is such that you wouldn't want to do it without eye protection, so totally defeating the purpose of the panel. I feel like a better product could exist that's somewhere in between. Something that doesn't turn your whole house bright red like a weirdo.
These panels are strong, and eye protection should be considered. However, there is research indicating that RLT can be good for your eyes. Take a look at this article:www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/red-light-therapy-for-eye-health/
