Who Should Avoid or Use Caution with Red Light Therapy:

  1. Pregnancy
    • Avoid using red light therapy directly over the abdomen or pelvic area if you are pregnant. The effects on a developing fetus are not yet fully studied.
  2. Photosensitivity
    • If you have a condition that causes heightened light sensitivity (like lupus or porphyria), or are taking photosensitizing medications (such as certain antibiotics or birth control pills), consult your doctor before use.
  3. Eye Protection
    • Always wear protective eyewear during sessions. Direct exposure to the light could cause eye damage, so avoid looking directly at the light source.
  4. Active Cancer
    • Do not use red light therapy over areas with active cancers or tumors. The effects of red light on cancer cells are still under study, and caution is advised.
    • If you have a history of skin cancer, seek medical advice before beginning treatment.
  5. Open Wounds or Infections
    • Red light therapy should not be used on open wounds or areas of active skin infection, unless specifically recommended by a healthcare provider.
  6. Severe Skin Conditions
    • For those with severe skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, it’s best to consult a dermatologist to confirm whether red light therapy is suitable for your skin.
  7. Seizure Disorders
    • If you have a history of photosensitive epilepsy, red light therapy may increase the risk of seizures. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.
  8. Recent Surgery
    • After surgery, avoid using red light therapy over surgical sites until you've received clearance from your doctor to promote safe healing.
  9. Hormonal Therapies
    • If you are undergoing hormonal treatments, check with your healthcare provider before using red light therapy, as there could be potential interactions.
  10. Pacemakers and Implants
    • If you have any implanted medical devices (such as pacemakers or metal implants), consult your doctor before using the device near these areas.
