The science
A clear look at what the research suggests, where the evidence is limited, and how to make informed choices.
Safety & Side Effects
Standard red light therapy is not known to cause cancer. It uses low-energy red or near-infrared light, not ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage DNA.
Safety & Side Effects
Red light therapy can cause a headache in some people, but headaches are not considered a common reaction when a low-level LED device is used correctly.
Beyond the Face
Red light therapy is a possible add-on for nerve pain, especially diabetic peripheral neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
