Should you do red light therapy before or after shower?

Red light therapy has gained popularity for its potential benefits in skin rejuvenation, pain relief, and overall wellness. One common question that arises is whether it's better to do red light therapy before or after a shower. The answer depends on the type of Red Light Therapy Device you're using and the specific purpose you have in mind.

Red light therapy (RLT) is a popular, non-invasive procedure that rejuvenates the body. By utilizing specific light wavelengths, it stimulates beneficial effects. The commonly used wavelengths are 660nm and 850nm. The 660nm wavelength treats wrinkles, acne, and rosacea by penetrating deep into the skin and boosting collagen and elastin production.

The 850nm wavelength improves cellular energy production and circulation, benefiting those with chronic pain. It reduces inflammation, enhances blood flow, and aids healing. Full-body red light therapy devices enable convenient home treatment for various skin conditions, including psoriasis and eczema. It also boosts energy, enhances mood, and improves sleep quality.

For Full Body Red Light Therapy, it's generally recommended to shower before the session. This is because you want to ensure that your skin is clean and free from any products or substances that may interfere with the therapeutic effects of the red light. By showering beforehand, you can remove any oils, lotions, or sweat that might create a barrier between your skin and the red light. Clean, dry skin allows the red light to penetrate more effectively and reach the deeper layers, maximizing the potential benefits.

On the other hand, if you're using red light therapy specifically for acne treatment, it may be beneficial to do it after a shower. Acne-prone skin tends to produce excess oil, and washing your face before the session can help remove that oil buildup. By doing red light therapy after a shower, you can take advantage of the Near Infrared Light Therapy or Infrared Light Therapy, which can penetrate the skin and help target acne-causing bacteria. By combining the cleansing effects of a shower with the therapeutic properties of red light therapy, you may enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Ultimately, it's essential to consider the specific device you're using, the purpose of your red light therapy session, and your personal preferences. Some individuals may find it more comfortable to shower before the session, while others may prefer doing it afterward. Regardless of the timing, make sure to follow the instructions provided with your Red Light Therapy Lamp or device, and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or specific skin conditions.
