Who should not use red light therapy?Updated 15 days ago
Rouge devices are general wellness devices, not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Red light therapy contains no UV light and has a very good safety profile, but check with your doctor before you start, especially if you:
- are pregnant
- have an implanted medical device
- have an overactive thyroid (take care on the neck and upper chest)
- have epilepsy, seizures or sensitivity to flashing light (never use pulsing)
- are sensitive to light from a condition such as lupus or from a medication
- have confirmed or suspected cancer (don't direct light at the area)
- have an eye condition
Wait until you've recovered before using it with a fever, an active infection, sunburn, or open or unhealed skin. Don't use red light therapy on infants or on anyone asleep or unconscious.
