What to expect?
Get Your Skin And Body Ready
Exfoliating and cleaning are the most important details, clearing away any dead skin cells, oil, dirt, or anything else clogging your pores. This takes away any barriers between the light and your skin, so the light can penetrate deeper and also reach the muscle tissues. Start exfoliating your face and body on a weekly basis and on the day of your treatment.
The Day of Your Treatment
Your skin needs to be at its purest state for the red light to be able to penetrate it properly. As well as the exfoliation part of the preparation, you should also make sure your skin is free of any other products. This includes makeup, lotions, perfumes, or anything else you normally use as part of your daily routine since these can reduce the red light’s effectiveness. Other products, like AHAs or retinol, react badly with the light, causing irritation. Even if these are prescribed to you, don’t apply them until after your therapy session is over.
