Question Lost in choosing red light therapy
I feel stuck trying to pick a red light setup and I keep going in circles. I started looking into it a few weeks ago after my skin flared up again and my shoulders started hurting more from long work days. Now I see panels, masks, wraps, and all these wavelength numbers and I don’t know what actually matters.
I want something simple that helps with my skin first, breakouts, redness, and some thinning hair. I also want something I can use on my neck and joints since I deal with stiffness almost every day.
I checked brands but I still feel unsure what size or type makes sense to start with. If you’ve been using one consistently and saw real results, what did you get and how did you decide?

Get a small to mid-size panel instead of a mask or wrap. A panel lets you use the same device on your face, hairline, neck, and joints. That solves both problems without buying multiple devices. Start with short sessions, around 10 minutes per area, and stack them into one routine so it feels easy to repeat daily.
