FAQs

Is it safe?

Yes, photobiomodulation is safe to use. The red lights used are low-level lasers that have no harmful effects on the skin. Red light therapy has been studied for over 20 years with 7000 clinical trials, 500 from which were used for human studies. However it is most important to be aware of any contraindications and consult a healthcare professional before use.

What conditions does photobiomodulation treat?

From the clinical trials that have been studied, photobiomodulation treats various conditions, including muscle pain, joint disorders, wound healing, PTSD, skin conditions, macular degeneration and many more.

Is it the same as UV light?

No. Red light therapy uses red and near infrared light that gets absorbed by the skin that leads to many benefits. For example, red light therapy has shown to improve fine lines and wrinkles, repair the skin from any sun damage, and aids in treating acne, brown spots, Psoriasis, Rosacea and more. UV light is known for its germicidal properties and is commonly used for disinfection.

How long does a photobiomodulation session last?

At REDGEN our red light therapy session lasts 12 minutes in our ReGen Q8 pod and roughly 15-20 minutes for our handheld NOVOTHOR LX2 sessions.

How long will it take before I start seeing results?

The results will vary between each individual and what conditions are being treated. Some individuals notice the difference after a few sessions, while others make several more consistent therapies. Responses may differ.

What should I wear for my session?

For photobiomodulation to work to its greatest effect it must penetrate the skin. At REDGEN we recommend removal of all clothing, although undergarments or a bikini may be left on if preferred. For injury rehabilitation sessions only removal of clothing for specific areas of treatment. DO NOT use any SPF makeup as it prevents any red light waves from penetrating the skin

How to prepare for ReGen Q8 session
