DOES RED LIGHT WORK?

After talking with patients, discussing with fellow dermatologists and research scientists at a recent medical meeting, and reviewing the research (a reference below), I do think there is value in red light.

However, we still don’t know the best parameters or which devices work best, since they’re “FDA cleared” (not likely to harm you) but not “FDA approved” (shown in randomized studies to actually give you the result).

👉So, if you are going to try red light, it’s likely more beneficial if you use panels that plug in because they’re stronger than the battery-operated wands/masks.

⭐️The research is evolving rapidly, so stay tuned for updates!

Until then, here’s a recent review article summarizing the research: PMID 38674067.
