Showering After Red Light Therapy: What You Need to Know

0Views

1. Immediate Shower

  • RLT is non-thermal and non-invasive, so you don’t need to wait to shower.

  • A gentle shower will not wash away benefits, since RLT works at the cellular level (stimulating mitochondria and collagen production).

2. Tips for Maximum Skin Benefits

  1. Wait a few minutes if skin is warm or slightly flushed – let the skin cool naturally.

  2. Avoid harsh soaps or exfoliants immediately afterward – they may irritate sensitive skin.

  3. Moisturize after showering – helps lock in hydration and complements RLT’s collagen-boosting effect.

  4. Avoid tanning or sun exposure immediately afterward – skin may be more responsive to UV.

3. Why Showering is Safe

  • RLT does not deposit anything on the skin; its effects are internal.

  • Water, soap, or showering does not interfere with mitochondrial stimulation or collagen synthesis.

Key Takeaway

  • You can shower right after RLT.

  • For best results: use gentle cleansing, moisturize afterward, and avoid sun exposure immediately.
