What is red light therapy?

LED panels shine low-level red light onto the skin, and some devices add near-infrared light. You rest while the light does its work. Cleveland Clinic notes that red light therapy does not use ultraviolet light, the kind from the sun and tanning booths.

Devices differ in the wavelengths they use, and wavelength changes how far the light reaches into the skin. [TO CONFIRM: device name, wavelengths and any FDA clearance of the device Kay uses, Kay]

Can I add red light after a facial?

Yes. Booked after a Signature facial or an Advanced anti-aging facial, it is a quiet way to end the visit. It supports the look of an even, fresh glow.

Can I add it after Endermologie?

Yes. Following LPG Endermologie, it adds rest time under the light. [TO CONFIRM: whether Kay's device treats the face only, a body area, or the full body, Kay]

Straight about the evidence

Popular, and still thinly studied

Cleveland Clinic's overview, last updated December 1, 2021, says there is not enough evidence to support most uses of red light therapy. Some studies show promise, but many were small, had no placebo group, or were done only in animals or cell tissue. That is why Karisma offers it for comfort and the look of your skin, and not for pain, weight, hair growth or any medical condition.

What should you ask a red light therapy provider?

Red light is sold everywhere now, from gyms to home masks. These questions sort a real service from a lamp.

  • Which device is it, and is it FDA-cleared for the use they describe?
  • Does it use red light only, or red plus near-infrared, and at what wavelengths?
  • How long is one session, and how many do they suggest?
  • Will you wear eye protection?
  • Do they promise anything beyond the look of your skin? If so, ask for the study.

Ask Kay the same five questions about her own device before you book.

How often should you use red light therapy?

In clinical programs, Cleveland Clinic says people are often seen one to three times a week, for weeks or months. At Karisma it is booked one visit at a time. There is no red light package on the current menu.

Questions about red light therapy

How much is red light therapy near me?

Does red light therapy really work?

For the look of the skin, some small studies are encouraging, but Cleveland Clinic says the evidence is not yet strong enough for most uses. Here it is offered for comfort and a rested look. Results vary.

What are the risks of red light therapy?

Cleveland Clinic says short-term use as directed is not linked to side effects, that misuse can harm the skin or eyes, and that long-term safety is not known. Tell Kay if you are pregnant or take medicine that makes you sensitive to light. [TO CONFIRM: contraindications from the device manual, Kay]

Does the add-on cost the same as a single session?

A single session is $99. [TO CONFIRM: whether the add-on price after a facial or Endermologie is also $99, Kay]
