Red Light Therapy & Your Eyes — Let’s Clear Things Up
We’ve had a few questions about red light therapy and eye safety, so let’s break it down in an easy way.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light (620–750 nm) that pe*****te the skin and help energize your cells. This boosts circulation, supports healing, and helps your body function more efficiently.
Is Red Light Therapy Bad for Your Eyes?
Short answer: No.
Research actually shows red light may support eye health by helping reduce inflammation and improve circulation. When used correctly, it’s safe and even beneficial.
That said, you should never stare directly into any bright light, including red light. Just like sunlight, moderation and proper use matter.
How to Use Red Light Therapy Safely
✔ Keep a comfortable distance from the light
✔ Start with short sessions and increase gradually
✔ Use protective eyewear when treating areas near the face
✔ Be consistent — benefits build over time
Bottom Line
Red light therapy is a safe, gentle, and effective wellness tool when used properly. It’s not harmful to your eyes and may actually be supportive — just use common sense and eye protection when needed.
