***Have Pets? Some Masks might really freak them out: try putting a cardboard mask on your face and see how your pet responds and then take into consideration; you might just do this in private if you want a mask, but it may also be off the table if you have no privacy. Its hilarious in a mean way, so lets be nice to our fur babies!

Your skin will ideally be freshly cleansed. Do not use over makeup or SPF; you will be wasting your time.

• Mask: usually this takes 3-15 minutes per use and the mask is flexible, wireless and flat against your face. You can also lay a flexi-mask against other parts of your body, no one is judging you.

• Panel: 5-20 Minutes, and you may want to use it on other parts of your bod! It will likely be tented over your skin, but there are panels that lay up against your skin and yoga mats that you lay on.

• Wand: 5-20 minutes. I have one plugged in at all times next to my pillow, so I can always have it at night in case I forgot to fit it in. I rest it on my neck and chest and move it when it softly beeps every 3 minutes and I credit this wand for making my neck and décolletage look years younger than it would otherwise.

First, decide what time of day you can actually dedicate 5 to 15 minutes to having your clean, bare skin with your LED every other night or at least 3 times per week. Night time, before bed, with a wand or panel? After work, doing laundry, wearing your portable flexible mask? Napping under a tented panel at work during your lunchbreak?

I want you to LOVE your routine, so try it out a few different ways and see what is the most realistic set up for you to repeat and look forward to.

LED works best on bare, clean skin. It isn’t a dealbreaker to have fresh, milder product on your skin, as long as it isn’t an SPF, if you MUST. As a new mom, my routine was a wand at bedtime, and I wasn’t getting back up to put on product, so I just had it on with the wand, and then fell asleep while the wand beeped every few minutes to remind me to move it to a different part of my sleepy face

If I wanted to use a device that had LED in combination with microcurrent, I would use it over my finishing products in my AM or PM routine.

If you love something, you will want to do it, so find a way to make this something you love to do, and if the first device isn’t your thing, return it if you can and find a better suited device!

Start with Red

Some companies only make red LED, and often I will only use red LED in my treatments. Red will be a good standby to begin, but lets get into more below::

The colors are where the magic lies:

Each color is a different wavelength of light, each wavelength reaches a different depth of your skin (or even into your body with infrared saunas or near infrared blended devices).

Each color reaches a different layer of skin that targets a more common skin issue in that layer.

Red simply goes the deepest and reaches to the area where we make collagen and elastin. To get geeky with me, I will post more and go Over the Rainbow with you later on in a blog. Below are the colors I most often focus on with my clients, and their target.

Red Aging Support, Texture, Wrinkles

Amber Rosacea, Sensitivity

Infrared/Near Infrared Inflammation, Plumping & Bounce, Pain

Blue Oil Balance, Acne

Green Hyperpigmentation

Red LED is the most popular as it reaches through all the cells and down to the collagen factory level. Near Infrared go deeper, restoring fatty pads for firm and bouncy cheeks and assisting in joint pain, and Infrared can assist in chronic pain, weight loss, you name it.

I usually recommend Red, Near Infrared, Amber, Blue and Infrared. It is wonderful to have all options, but unless you struggle with acne, most of the devices I recommend have options or a blend of Red, Near or Infrared & Amber. Need to go simple? If you only have Red, awesome. If you have Red and Infrared, second best!

Once the light makes contact with the cells in your body, it boosts energy (called ATP). This is released in any body cell the light passes through whether it be a melanocyte (responsible for skin color) or a keratinocyte (responsible for collagen). This means different colors can concentrate on different areas of the skin that certain cells are mainly concentrated at.

Aim for clean and naked skin if possible, but always at least clean skin.

Never use over SPF or Makeup.

Apply your products after your light treatment, if possible, rather than before.

You can totally use it before any of your actives, but it is not suggested to use it over retinols or actives.

My suggestion is that everyone has a routine that includes Peptides, Vitamin C and a moisturizer after their light therapy.

you betcha my sweet buns!

but put in your time…

Skin-deep: lymph starts to move, feel good glow begins, often the circulation that is stimulated will bring fresh O2 and nutrients to your skin, which gives you the first flush of goodness.

.Longer, visible results (like less sun damage, wrinkle depth smoothing out, acne reduction) begin to appear 4-5 weeks in and then peak about 2-3 months in.

Continued use will continue to stimulate cellular metabolism, and since aging is the slowing of cellular metabolism, I like to follow this logic and keep up with my routine.

Infrared and Near Infrared

Fatty Pads in the under-eye and cheek areas, for me, became bouncy around 2 months to 2.5 months in.

Pain: Always consult your Doctor. but I can say that personally: I have found immediate relief for wrist arthritis, chronic neck and shoulder tension, TMJ, endometriosis, lymphatic drainage
