Here’s an overview: 🔍 Possible side effects -Mild skin irritation: Some may experience redness, itching, or a slight burning sensation, especially with sensitive skin or if the device is used on dry skin without a conductive serum. -Headaches or eye discomfort: Prolonged exposure to strong LED light can cause discomfort in the eyes or headaches. It is recommended to avoid looking directly into the light during use. -Hyperpigmentation: Incorrect use or overexposure can lead to pigment changes, especially in individuals with darker skin tones. -Worsening of acne: In some cases, acne may temporarily worsen before improvement occurs, known as "purging". 🚫 Who should avoid LED light therapy? -Pregnant individuals: Although no documented harm exists, it is recommended to avoid treatment during pregnancy due to limited research. -People with epilepsy: LED light can, in rare cases, trigger seizures in individuals with light-sensitive epilepsy. -Medication users: Medications such as isotretinoin, certain antibiotics, and antidepressants can increase the skin's light sensitivity and lead to side effects 💊 -People with active skin infections or open wounds: The treatment may worsen infections or delay the healing process. -People with eye diseases 👀: Those with conditions such as glaucoma or recent eye surgery should be cautious, as bright light may affect eye health. ✅ Recommendations for safe use -Remove jewelry before use: Metal jewelry can reflect or absorb light, which may lead to skin irritation or reduced effectiveness. -Use on clean and moist skin: To avoid discomfort, ensure the skin is clean and consider using a conductive serum. -Protect the eyes: Avoid looking directly into the light, and consider wearing protective glasses for extra safety. Start with short sessions: Begin with shorter treatment times to see how the skin reacts, and gradually increase as tolerated. Wishing you a great day ahead 🥰
