Red Light Therapy: Don't Waste Your Money Until You Watch This!

This week I'm sharing a potted guide to red light devices. WIth so many options including masks or panels, red and near infrared light or both, multiple wavelengths or just one, pulsed v constant, I'll take a look at some of the clinical studies and share my own approach. And with reports from some consumers of developing pigmentation on their skin after using red light, I’ll get a doctors view on the risk and what we can do to mitigate it. Plus I share what happened when I tried one of the most powerful red light panels on the market. #redlightdevice MY TRIED AND TETSTED RED LIGHT DEVICES with discount codes: https://shopmy.us/collections/1574180 The Honest Channel is hosted by me, Clare Johnston, a journalist dedicated to exploring skincare and healthy aging.

The prize as stated in the episode is the Lumara Illuminate Red Light Panel which was trialed by me for an 8-week period.
