I started my journey at the age of 63 (last year) with a $25 cheapo faceshield like mask that you put on like a pair of glasses. In less than 3wks I was shocked to see different eyes looking back at me in the mirror. This one had eyelids again where the last 10 years they had not. It changed my life. I don't look anything like I did when I started in Oct 2023. I wish I had taken pics but this journey is for me and not anyone else. I feel and look so much better. I now have 6 12"x12" panels and treating my entire body and that body looks better than my body looked in my 20s. I am not exaggerating.
@@jc10907Sealy Just don't overdo it. Less is better than more. You can overdo red light too and our cells can only absorb so much energy and it can then undo any benefits which you don't want to do. Good luck on your journey.
Hahaha I laughed when you said how your family reacts to your skincare habits 😂😂 my husband said he can’t remember the last time he entered the bedroom and wasn’t shocked.
Hey there! Just wanted to chime in with my personal experience using red light therapy. I've been incorporating it into my routine for a while now. I've been dealing with some health issues, and using the panels from Future Form Official, a company based in Norway, has really made a difference. Not only have I noticed improvements in my overall health, but I've also seen benefits in specific areas like skin clarity and texture. Plus, it's been surprisingly affordable - definitely a good price for the results it delivers! It's great to see so many people sharing their experiences with red light therapy here. It really shows how versatile and effective this treatment can be for a variety of health concerns. Keep shining bright, everyone! 🌟
As I listened to this episode, I was wearing a red light helmet, face mask, neck mask, red light belt, two red light hand mitts, and two red light slippers. Several times a week I don’t do all these home treatments but go to a med spa where I stand in front of 6 full body panels in front of me and 6 full body panels behind me. These full panels especially have had a tremendous positive effect on my health. I highly recommend red light to anyone who will listen. 😎 also love Cryotheraoy and infared sauna. Been on this journey for about 6 months now and it has turned my health around. My goal is to have two full body panels at home, but until then, I will go to a place locally that has this impressive set up.
@@kellycoffin5052 It's possible as infrared is used in weightloss treatments. Less likely with home masks etc but it is important to avoid overuse for the reasons explained in my interview.
I started using red light panels for my body aches and after 6 months I ended up with great looking facial skin, The bags under eyes gone, people have definitely noticed because I keep getting told I look much younger. Now I am also using a face mask and Maysama serum. The more I learn about red light therapy the better it gets. I don’t have a pulsating device.
I'm just going to swing a dark towel in circles in front of my panels and that will create the same rapid on-off pulsing effect and I will be exercising too while enhancing that benefit too.
I have both the Omnilux mask & deck & also the Maysama pulse light panel, which I absolutely love, & use the pulse light every other day. I almost didn't purchase the panel because of the pulse light & thought I'd be nauseous, but lo & behold, I love it & only use the pulse light!!!
Hi Clare, can you do a video in the future that talks about the negative effects of red light and near infrared light masks on people who have melasma and other skin conditions? There is a lot of talk about the positive effects of these red light therapy masks but hardly anybody talks about who should not use these masks. Some people make a major investment in these masks, only to find out after the purchase that it is not for them. Thanks! Love your channel!
Glad you enjoy the channel! I've had a few viewers ask about this and my biggest obstacle is a lack of scientific evidence to support what I'm sure are a lot of anecdotal reports. Leave this with me though as I've noticed there's a dermatologist who has written about this issue with laser but also red light so I'll see if she would be willing to speak about it on the channel. Thanks for raising this.
@@dorayoung1073I don’t have melasma but it definitely made my dark spots darker and I developed more. This was after I had them zapped and was meticulous about sunscreen
Another informative video, thanks! I have a mask that can cycle through 7 colors and an 8th that cycles through all 7 colors, for 15 -20 min periods, so I’m wondering now if using the 8th, cycling through all 7 colors, might be more beneficial in the long run? (I’ve been sticking to red and occasionally green, I’m a fair and sensitive skinned Canadian directly “across the pond” in cold and snowy Newfoundland!)❄️ I have to say, your skin is flawless and you look absolutely radiant!♥️
Hi there! This is so fascinating! I have a question. When they say treated with red light therapy, where on the body are they treating these people with red light therapy? Are we talking about the red light therapy that you put on your face through a face mask, and that somehow affects breast cancer cells in the gut? This is hard to wrap my head around. I’m wondering where they treated people with the red light therapy using what kind of devices and is it as simple as if I’m treating my face because I have an anti-aging mask that I’m also affecting my gut for all kinds of diseases? At the same time? Do I have to buy all these contraptions for the body for red light therapy? Or does my using a red light therapy mask? Also affect things in my gut with disease? I mean the body is one cohesive dynamic organism you know?
Thank you! Really appreciate that. I think I've finally found a routine that works for me. I shared it a couple of weeks ago so will link here in case you missed it th-cam.com/video/-fmYAtCAqtQ/w-d-xo.html
I was just reading about that condition yesterday. There was a piece in the New Scientist about how many people are living with the condition and don't know.
I appreciate these discussions that present more comprehensive insight into red light therapy! For example, I never knew it can cause an overload of free radicals. I'm also more interested in the pulsed light application of light. Thank you for that information! I've used the hand held QuasarMD red/IR device on and off since 2015 and wondered if such short durations of applications (3 min each quarter of the face) would even be helpful but now I'm happy with it...the wand doesn't hover too long over each area. I've always also wondered if I should replace it with one of those masks that are all over the place on social media, but I know now that they are not the way to go for me. I'll invest in pulsed light I think.
The last video I saw of yours was about Adipeau (and I bought it, lol). You look amazing here!! Whatever you are doing, keep it up!! I just subscribed!
Hi Claire, another fantastic informative video, thanks. I’m using mine also on my knee and have my husband trying it for his arthritic hands. I love it and enjoy going for MY TIME under the light x
This is fascinating, thank you. A couple of questions to Bev, please, if possible. I know there is documented evidence that supports the benefits of LED therapy for psoriasis sufferers, but I can find nothing about treating seborrheic dermatitis - can you help, Bev? Also, this is very encouraging around the effects of LED therapy on the gut biome; do you think it could help sufferers with ulcerative colitis? Thank you very much for your time
I'm not who you are asking but I have a facemask that has red but also other colors and I really think that the blue light was the one that helped me the most with skin issues including yours, rosacea and acne. Red light is very calming though. If you can try to get a panel or mask that offers multiple choices.
thank you very much, very interesting discussion 👍very interesting about the gut microbiome and red light, I use the new glasses developed by Professor Glen Jeffery at University College London and Planet Lighting UK which slow the ageing of your eyes if you are 40 or over using 670 nm red light, I have been using them for about a year and have noticed an improvement in my colour vision and night vision 👍
I’ve been using red light for about 3 months now. I wish I had a nickel for the number of people that tell me my skin is beautiful! It works if you’re consistent! I use KTS device for pain after sex and it actually helps in that area, no more pain! I have several different kinds of red lights and never want to be without it!
Your last video was very interesting. I suspect- especially like Demi Moore- might have gotten a procedure from Dr. Amir M. Karam in Southern California. Looks like an outcome he could do. And his youtube channel explains his procedure treatments and results.
This is a good review paper that rounds a few related studies up including the Bicknell one in mice that Bev referred to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10835098/
Great information, thank you! I found your channel (and have subscribed!) while researching red light to improve vision. Clearly there are specific parameters and the intensity and duration are much lower but I understand this is an approved usage in Europe, with devices on the health market, and the FDA is close to approving this as well in the US (I'm in Canada). Very promising for the treatment of AMD, visual acuity, dry eyes and possibly more!
Thank you for the video. So does this mean if you use the panel or the mask on your face it will still help your gut? or do you have to place it over the stomach area? thx
Yes, she was just speaking well of the pulse??? I bought a red light therapy and nl therapy but no blue light, but my mask has all three. But she hasnt mentioned that every time the lights go off, you lose time???
I love your channel so much. I love how you invite experts to come and discuss their findings. I have seen several interviews with Beth and she is so knowledgable. I really enjoy hearing about the science, the research and the facts from scientists. I have been using RL/NIR for 3 years now and have noticed a huge difference in the texture and clarity of my skin but the reversal of sun damage on my chest has been absolutely astonishing. I have recently bought the Maysama Prana mask and love it. I have the Currentbody neck and dec mask too. I’m definitely a fan! Now I’d just like to know which skin care products you can wear with the mask. I use the Maysama Rooibos serum but would like ti know if I can use my Vitamin C cream, my serum etc. i understand you can’t use oil based products but is there a point at which the RL/NIR won’t penetrate the products? BTW, your skin is looking incredible! ❤
So great to hear you enjoy the channel. Hearing this from viewers makes the tougher days worthwhile ❤️ The general advice would be not to use oil-based products before red light but opt for antioxidant-rich water-based serums instead. There’s not much research around the impact of creams, serums and oils or how much they might affect the red light penetration so I don’t get myself in too much of a twist over it. I would definitely avoid occlusive oils or sunscreen though.
Thank you for a very interesting discussion. I suffer from solar urticaria and have to wear spf 50 all year round. Would I be able to use these facial devices?
Perhaps we can put a box fan in front of the LED panels that we have already bought to create the strobe effect? As the blades turn, they hide and reveal the red light from the panels, as if they were being pulsed. I'm going to try it, why not!
Thank you for this information. I have the omnilux face and neck masks and use three times per week. Do you have or do you know where I can find a comprehensive list of reputable companies that sell whole body panels? My second question is whether the whole body panels can provide continuous and pulsed light?
Use red light/infrared light panel faithfully for four years,6 months ago began a pulsed regimen with the Maysama products…… as far as my skin is concerned, still look the 69 years old that I am. No miracles….
It's a helpful reminder that results from home skincare tools can be modest. I use red light because I feel it improves my skin health and hydration which then helps improve fine lines etc, and I feel it could help slow the signs of aging but it's not going to dramatically turn back the clock where skin elasticity has been lost. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I purchased the Omnilux mask and everytime I used it, which was only about 10 times, I would get a new dark spot on my face. My skin was pretty clear and now I have some darker patches. I'm pretty annoyed and obviously don't use it any longer. I dont think led masks are for everyone.
I've just replied to another viewer who raised the same issue. I'm going to see if I can get a dermatologist who has written about this onto the channel to share what might be going on.
I have rosacea and i had a groin absess which turned into a fistula that is linked with my colon. I dont know if i can use it on my tummy? My wound is 3 years old and the NHS wont give me any dressings etc.etc. and it has cost me over £3000 to care for it. I am a 78 year old lady and entitled to free prescriptons. i think its a disgrace! I am going to find out if it is safe for me to use it. I have a red light panel and a mask.
I use the Maysama panel because I know Bev has done her research on the best specs but this is a helpful article setting out some other good options healthnews.com/longevity/biohacking/best-red-light-therapy-panel/
That’s frustrating when you’ve put so much time in. I really think it makes a difference for me but I’ve yet to find one thing yet that works equally for everyone - apart from sunscreen 😁
@@thehonestchannel I’ll be honest, I don’t believe it works for you, you use plenty of other anti-ageing “things”, i don’t want to mess anything up but it’s growth factor based cosmetics, microneedling , nmn supplements ,and probably more so I’m positive it’s down to these other factors that you believe your skin has been improving. I only use medical grade red light therapy mask and gloves thus the evaluation is reliable.
Tbh I've been using an Omnilux mask for at least 6 months and I think I've had a slight improvement in redness (I have very sensitive, rosacea-prone skin) and clarity, but just a little... I see a lot of influencers raving about these masks and wonder if I'm not as lucky or what could be the issue. But one of these beauty influencers was saying you can only see great results with the medical grade masks like Celluma or DermaFlex if I recall correctly, but these are super expensive (like 2-3,000 euros). She had had some tests after doing in office red light treatments and apparently the skin was something like 9 years younger after... Maybe I will try to have weekly in-office treatments to see how the professional grade masks compare to the home use ones. BTW I was in Africa for a couple of months, no masks, treatments, and a very simple skincare routine, and my skin was great, despite being so sensitive and having to deal with a lot of sun, humidity, dust, sand, ocean water etc. (maybe the humidity was good for my skin actually). This was the 3rd time and every time the same thing happened, so I guess if I want great skin with no effort the solution is moving to Africa 😅 (which hopefully will happen in the near future). BTW haven't had any success with NMN after 3 months of taking it...
What results were you expecting? For what condition did you choose red light? What part(s) of your body did you use it?What device did you use? How often and how long have you used red light? How old are you? Was your red light combined with NIR? .......
Me again. With the red light treatment, I see you can’t use moisturizer or oil based serums. I am having difficulty finding a serum without glucose. Can you advise me what is and is not an acceptable ingredient. I am looking for something simple like vitamin. C ? Thanks Clare
I question if I may about 400 times increase of allobaculum. Does it mean that the production of allobaculum has increased 400 times? Or does it mean mice have disposed 400 times more allobaculum after exposure to the infrared light? What has been said sound ambiguous to me and left me thinking that that there is a possibility of increased loss of allobaculum due to exposure to infrared light. Thank you.
How do you like the vibration feature of the Therabody LED mask? I’m impressed with the number of LED’s the mask has. I have a Theraface device that I only use for vibration on my face. Helps with migraines.
I spent a lot of money on my panel, and now I find i have to have pulsed light!?!? Thats frustrating. How fast does it have to pulse? Can i just sit there and turn my panel on and off? Also, if I wanted to use it with the gut, does it need to be on bare skin, or can I use it over clothes?
You don't have to use pulse. Constant red light still has benefits it's just it's easier to overdo it. A great way to get the best of both worlds is just to move your head or turn side to side as you use the panel.
I didn’t like the strobe effect to begin with but I’ve got used to it now and I see there are a number of studies being conducted with pulse/flashing light for cognitive function so I’m feeling much more confident about using it.
❤Honestly I do not believe that the strobing pulse light will benefit you than it will harm you. Let me explain. As we all know, stress is the biggest Killer there is. Stress produces oxidation and therefore make your cells older so well. As mentioned with pulse light you put your cells in contraction mode, this is of course cousing stress even within your cells. When you now feel stressed 😩 by the strobing sensation guess what, you add to the stress. I do not need that to be scientific proven as that’s simply logic. I do love maysama as I am a loyal customer, but this device I will keep my hands 🙌 off. ❤Love to you all ❤
I received my Maysama light therapy panel last week and it is faulty and won’t switch on. Despite sending an email and an online enquiry form to Maysama four days ago, I am still waiting on a response. Very poor customer service so far.
Thank you, that’s very much appreciated. To be honest, it was watching your video that sold me on buying it, as up until then I had been looking at various different devices. I loved your “honest” review, so I am keen to start using it. Thanks
We don’t have studies pinpointing the optimal times unfortunately, but up to 10 mins is frequently the recommendation by manufacturers. Bev has said in the past she used constant light for around 6 minutes at a time. A lot of experts would say 10 mins would not be considered excessive. Hope that helps
It's Andrei Sommer at the University of Ulm, Germany who has been researching pulsed LED light for skin rejuvenation and the treatment of Alzheimers and enhanced drug uptake during chemotherapy so you should look him up.
Be careful with cancer, the red lite could possibly increase the growth of cancer. So be careful. That is what saw in utube with a researcher. My husband just had cancer so that's why I learned this.
I have a medium sized red light panel already. If I just do half my face and keep switching to the other half I wonder if that does similar effect to pulse light? I don’t want to invest on another panel when I have a working one 😂
It absolutely does have the same effect and Bev actually suggested doing that in previous interviews. It's a really smart idea because you don't want to go spending money on a new device when you already have a panel. I think with constant light the most important thing to remember is you can overdo it so doing shorter sessions and/or turning your head makes a lot of sense.
This lady is talking about a pulse one which goes on and off??? An expert on you tube, is rather annoyed that it wasnt mentioned that with the pulse lights going on and off, you lose the amount of time compared to a red light therapy? But this lady also hasnt mentioned that which i find a bit annoying, because this guy said he is confused because he doesnt believe the people selling them are aware either??? This lady seems to really speak better of the pulse light therapy?? Yet a few things she hasnt mentioned it seems to me.
Who is the expert? Can you link to the video please? The point with pulsed is you avoid a build-up of free radicals. She does explain that in the video and we have discussed in more detail in a previous interview.
@@thehonestchannel Thanks.. just saying the way you put it... it could and it is thought to maybe help is like saying nothing and isnt helpful...just my input.

Yes, she was just speaking well of the pulse??? I bought a red light therapy and nl therapy but no blue light, but my mask has all three. But she hasnt mentioned that every time the lights go off, you lose time???
I love your channel so much. I love how you invite experts to come and discuss their findings. I have seen several interviews with Beth and she is so knowledgable. I really enjoy hearing about the science, the research and the facts from scientists. I have been using RL/NIR for 3 years now and have noticed a huge difference in the texture and clarity of my skin but the reversal of sun damage on my chest has been absolutely astonishing. I have recently bought the Maysama Prana mask and love it. I have the Currentbody neck and dec mask too. I’m definitely a fan! Now I’d just like to know which skin care products you can wear with the mask. I use the Maysama Rooibos serum but would like ti know if I can use my Vitamin C cream, my serum etc. i understand you can’t use oil based products but is there a point at which the RL/NIR won’t penetrate the products? BTW, your skin is looking incredible! ❤
So great to hear you enjoy the channel. Hearing this from viewers makes the tougher days worthwhile ❤️ The general advice would be not to use oil-based products before red light but opt for antioxidant-rich water-based serums instead. There’s not much research around the impact of creams, serums and oils or how much they might affect the red light penetration so I don’t get myself in too much of a twist over it. I would definitely avoid occlusive oils or sunscreen though.
Thank you for a very interesting discussion. I suffer from solar urticaria and have to wear spf 50 all year round. Would I be able to use these facial devices?
I’m afraid I’m not qualified to answer this, sorry.
Perhaps we can put a box fan in front of the LED panels that we have already bought to create the strobe effect? As the blades turn, they hide and reveal the red light from the panels, as if they were being pulsed. I'm going to try it, why not!
Bev also suggests just turning from side to side in front of the panel
Thank you for this information. I have the omnilux face and neck masks and use three times per week. Do you have or do you know where I can find a comprehensive list of reputable companies that sell whole body panels? My second question is whether the whole body panels can provide continuous and pulsed light?
Use red light/infrared light panel faithfully for four years,6 months ago began a pulsed regimen with the Maysama products…… as far as my skin is concerned, still look the 69 years old that I am. No miracles….
It's a helpful reminder that results from home skincare tools can be modest. I use red light because I feel it improves my skin health and hydration which then helps improve fine lines etc, and I feel it could help slow the signs of aging but it's not going to dramatically turn back the clock where skin elasticity has been lost. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Wonderful and informative video!
Glad it helped!
I purchased the Omnilux mask and everytime I used it, which was only about 10 times, I would get a new dark spot on my face. My skin was pretty clear and now I have some darker patches. I'm pretty annoyed and obviously don't use it any longer. I dont think led masks are for everyone.
I’ve found this too 😢
I've just replied to another viewer who raised the same issue. I'm going to see if I can get a dermatologist who has written about this onto the channel to share what might be going on.
@@francophile6948same
I have rosacea and i had a groin absess which turned into a fistula that is linked with my colon. I dont know if i can use it on my tummy? My wound is 3 years old and the NHS wont give me any dressings etc.etc. and it has cost me over £3000 to care for it. I am a 78 year old lady and entitled to free prescriptons. i think its a disgrace! I am going to find out if it is safe for me to use it. I have a red light panel and a mask.
Love your videos❤
What are the most recommended brands in RL panels. I'm not familiar with this subject . Thanks a lot
I use the Maysama panel because I know Bev has done her research on the best specs but this is a helpful article setting out some other good options healthnews.com/longevity/biohacking/best-red-light-therapy-panel/
They are good as is gembared. He's an engineer
mice studies, lol? why start with mice studies if the research is so solid as claimed...
I’ve used red light diligently since end of October. I see no results.
That’s frustrating when you’ve put so much time in. I really think it makes a difference for me but I’ve yet to find one thing yet that works equally for everyone - apart from sunscreen 😁
@@thehonestchannel I’ll be honest, I don’t believe it works for you, you use plenty of other anti-ageing “things”, i don’t want to mess anything up but it’s growth factor based cosmetics, microneedling , nmn supplements ,and probably more so I’m positive it’s down to these other factors that you believe your skin has been improving. I only use medical grade red light therapy mask and gloves thus the evaluation is reliable.
Take pictures of your face and neck. I also though that nothing was happening until I look at the pictures.
Tbh I've been using an Omnilux mask for at least 6 months and I think I've had a slight improvement in redness (I have very sensitive, rosacea-prone skin) and clarity, but just a little... I see a lot of influencers raving about these masks and wonder if I'm not as lucky or what could be the issue. But one of these beauty influencers was saying you can only see great results with the medical grade masks like Celluma or DermaFlex if I recall correctly, but these are super expensive (like 2-3,000 euros). She had had some tests after doing in office red light treatments and apparently the skin was something like 9 years younger after... Maybe I will try to have weekly in-office treatments to see how the professional grade masks compare to the home use ones.
BTW I was in Africa for a couple of months, no masks, treatments, and a very simple skincare routine, and my skin was great, despite being so sensitive and having to deal with a lot of sun, humidity, dust, sand, ocean water etc. (maybe the humidity was good for my skin actually). This was the 3rd time and every time the same thing happened, so I guess if I want great skin with no effort the solution is moving to Africa 😅 (which hopefully will happen in the near future).
BTW haven't had any success with NMN after 3 months of taking it...
What results were you expecting? For what condition did you choose red light? What part(s) of your body did you use it?What device did you use? How often and how long have you used red light? How old are you? Was your red light combined with NIR? .......
Can you direct me to a pulsating led face mask? I haven’t found one yet. Thank you!
Hi. I’ve linked to one I use in the description.
Love this thank you ❤the link seems to not work to the melasma site x
Thanks for flagging Jayne and apologies about that. Think I've fixed the link now x
Me again. With the red light treatment, I see you can’t use moisturizer or oil based serums. I am having difficulty finding a serum without glucose. Can you advise me what is and is not an acceptable ingredient. I am looking for something simple like vitamin. C ? Thanks Clare
What do you say about using collagen tablets are they worth the money or a wasted
I filmed this video on that very topic setting out the most evidenced form of collagen. Hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/q42cDpE-oPM/w-d-xo.html
I question if I may about 400 times increase of allobaculum. Does it mean that the production of allobaculum has increased 400 times? Or does it mean mice have disposed 400 times more allobaculum after exposure to the infrared light? What has been said sound ambiguous to me and left me thinking that that there is a possibility of increased loss of allobaculum due to exposure to infrared light. Thank you.
I’ve linked the studies in the description if you’d like more details.
I love my therabody led mask 🎉❤
How do you like the vibration feature of the Therabody LED mask? I’m impressed with the number of LED’s the mask has. I have a Theraface device that I only use for vibration on my face. Helps with migraines.
Have you put cotton squares under your eye protection I have seen people with it when getting laser.
I don't do that but I only use it for around 5 mins at at time.
Please link studies on pulsed red light. Thank u!! 16:28
Does the pulsing panel also help with hair regrowth?
It decreases intensity on higher power
Excellent question...
Thinning/balding hair can have a devastating impact on woman's self-esteem (at any age!)
Can this be helpful for vitiligo?
I spent a lot of money on my panel, and now I find i have to have pulsed light!?!? Thats frustrating. How fast does it have to pulse? Can i just sit there and turn my panel on and off? Also, if I wanted to use it with the gut, does it need to be on bare skin, or can I use it over clothes?
You don't have to use pulse. Constant red light still has benefits it's just it's easier to overdo it. A great way to get the best of both worlds is just to move your head or turn side to side as you use the panel.
Could ask her privately to update her panel pulse to be more subtle like in her mask.
I didn’t like the strobe effect to begin with but I’ve got used to it now and I see there are a number of studies being conducted with pulse/flashing light for cognitive function so I’m feeling much more confident about using it.
@TheHonestChannel do you use Maysama Pressed Green Rooibos Serum? In your skincare product list, I see you use the oil.
❤Honestly I do not believe that the strobing pulse light will benefit you than it will harm you. Let me explain. As we all know, stress is the biggest Killer there is. Stress produces oxidation and therefore make your cells older so well. As mentioned with pulse light you put your cells in contraction mode, this is of course cousing stress even within your cells. When you now feel stressed 😩 by the strobing sensation guess what, you add to the stress. I do not need that to be scientific proven as that’s simply logic.
I do love maysama as I am a loyal customer, but this device I will keep my hands 🙌 off.
❤Love to you all ❤
I received my Maysama light therapy panel last week and it is faulty and won’t switch on. Despite sending an email and an online enquiry form to Maysama four days ago, I am still waiting on a response. Very poor customer service so far.
That sounds unusual for Maysama but let me know if you don’t hear back from them this week.
Thank you, that’s very much appreciated. To be honest, it was watching your video that sold me on buying it, as up until then I had been looking at various different devices. I loved your “honest” review, so I am keen to start using it. Thanks
@@carolinekelly4927 It's a great device. I'm sure they'll sort this out for you but let me know if not.
One company makes a sleeping bag product for red light.
Can I target a body part 10 minutes straight with constant red light? Or is that also overdoing it?
We don’t have studies pinpointing the optimal times unfortunately, but up to 10 mins is frequently the recommendation by manufacturers. Bev has said in the past she used constant light for around 6 minutes at a time. A lot of experts would say 10 mins would not be considered excessive. Hope that helps
@@thehonestchannel Thank you. I'll do daily 10 minute sessions consisting of two 5 minute parts. Curious to see if this will help autoimmunity.
Where is the research for pulsed light? I can’t find any legitimate research that supports pulsed light over steady light.
It's Andrei Sommer at the University of Ulm, Germany who has been researching pulsed LED light for skin rejuvenation and the treatment of Alzheimers and enhanced drug uptake during chemotherapy so you should look him up.
Check for studies published by our National Institute of Health.
I thought the studies that said pulsed light was better used lasers instead of red light LED.
Lasers are certainly more powerful than red light but not everyone wants to use laser and it's harder to treat larger areas with a laser device.
The music is so annoying.
My father has cancer, can he use red light therapy?
Not something I’m qualified to advise on I’m afraid. I do wish him a speedy recovery though ❤️
Thank u❤
Be careful with cancer, the red lite could possibly increase the growth of cancer. So be careful. That is what saw in utube with a researcher. My husband just had cancer so that's why I learned this.
I have a medium sized red light panel already. If I just do half my face and keep switching to the other half I wonder if that does similar effect to pulse light? I don’t want to invest on another panel when I have a working one 😂
It absolutely does have the same effect and Bev actually suggested doing that in previous interviews. It's a really smart idea because you don't want to go spending money on a new device when you already have a panel. I think with constant light the most important thing to remember is you can overdo it so doing shorter sessions and/or turning your head makes a lot of sense.
I do 8 minute abs and 25 minutes toga daily for 5 years.
I feel great. Join me !!
This lady is talking about a pulse one which goes on and off??? An expert on you tube, is rather annoyed that it wasnt mentioned that with the pulse lights going on and off, you lose the amount of time compared to a red light therapy? But this lady also hasnt mentioned that which i find a bit annoying, because this guy said he is confused because he doesnt believe the people selling them are aware either??? This lady seems to really speak better of the pulse light therapy?? Yet a few things she hasnt mentioned it seems to me.
Who is the expert? Can you link to the video please? The point with pulsed is you avoid a build-up of free radicals. She does explain that in the video and we have discussed in more detail in a previous interview.
When you say "Red light is THOUGHT to help microbiome and Red light COULD have benefits"" is NOT very convincing!
I pose the question can red light help the microbiome for my guest to answer in our discussion. Which she does.
@@thehonestchannel Thanks.. just saying the way you put it... it could and it is thought to maybe help is like saying nothing and isnt helpful...just my input.
Pulsing light with no goggles is very dangerous, I hope everyone understands this.
exactly
It can produce migraine in some people or pulse lite can start a epileptic fit in individuals so prone. So be careful.
