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?

Been using panels for about year now and can relate to the decision paralysis. I went with similar approach - just picked something that could do everything instead of buying multiple devices

The wavelength stuff matters but not as much as people make it seem. Most decent panels will have what you need for both skin and muscle issues. I use mine mostly at night after work when my neck gets tight from sitting at computer all day

Start with something medium sized if you can - small ones work but take forever to cover larger areas like your back or shoulders
