Safety & Who Should Not Use It
Read this before your first session. It takes a minute and it matters more than anything else on this site.
Do not use this device if
- You are taking a photosensitising medication. Some antibiotics, retinoids, diuretics and acne treatments make skin react to light. If you are unsure, ask the pharmacist who dispensed it — they will know immediately.
- You have a condition triggered or worsened by light, including lupus and photosensitive epilepsy.
- You have an active skin infection, an open wound, or a recently treated area on the face.
Speak to a professional first if
You are pregnant or breastfeeding, you have a history of skin cancer, or you are being treated for any skin condition. We are not able to advise on individual circumstances and we would rather you asked someone who can.
Eyes
Wear the supplied eyewear for every session, without exception. The device emits no ultraviolet light, but ten minutes of bright visible and near-infrared light at close range is uncomfortable and unnecessary to endure. Do not look directly into the diodes.
Sensible use
Ten minutes, three to five times a week. Longer sessions and daily use are not better — there is no evidence that exceeding this improves anything, and the published research this device is built around does not do it either. Use it on clean, dry, bare skin.
Stop if
You get persistent redness, irritation, headache or eye discomfort. Stop using it and speak to a healthcare professional. Then email us — we will refund you, whether or not you are inside the guarantee window.
