Rotlichttherapie (RLT) wird normalerweise als Safe angesehen, nicht-invasive und schmerzfreie Behandlung, Dennoch muss es richtig eingesetzt werden, um potenzielle Risiken zu vermeiden.
【Sicherheitsvorkehrungen】
1. Tragen Sie etwas, um Ihre Augen zu schützen.
Sie müssen eine Schutzbrille tragen: Rotlicht (Besonders infrarotes Licht) kann die Netzhaut schädigen, und selbst das Schließen der Augen kann starkes Licht nicht vollständig blockieren.
Vermeiden Sie es, direkt in die Lichtquelle zu blicken: Schauen Sie während der Behandlung nicht mit offenen Augen direkt auf das LED-Panel.
2. Probleme mit der Haut und Lichtempfindlichkeit
Arzneimittel und Hautpflegeprodukte, die auf Licht reagieren. Einige Arzneimittel, wie Antibiotika (Tetracycline), Retinsäure und einige Antidepressiva, kann Ihre Haut lichtempfindlicher machen. Also, Sie sollten darüber mit Ihrem Arzt sprechen.
Dieses Produkt sollte von Patienten mit Hauterkrankungen vorsichtig angewendet werden, wie Lupus erythematodes oder lichtempfindliche Dermatitis, as it may make their symptoms worse.
3. How often and for how long you should be treated
Überbeanspruchung vermeiden: You should try one treatment, which will take 10-20 Minuten, and you should do it 2-5 Mal pro Woche. Using too much of this product can make your skin dry or red.
Adjust the settings to match the strength of the device: The energy of home devices and medical-grade phototherapy beds is different, so you need to follow the instructions.
4. People in some groups need to be careful.
If you are pregnant, please read this. There is not enough research yet, so it is better not to use abdominal irradiation.
Epilepsy patients: If you see a bright flash of light, you could have a seizure. If you do, you should see a doctor.
Cancer patients: Try not to use radiation on the area where the tumour is, as this may change how the cells work.
[Mögliche Nebenwirkungen] Red light therapy has few side effects, but some people may experience the following:
1. Slight skin reactions
Short-term redness or dryness: It’s like a mild sunburn, but it will get better after a few hours. Just make sure you moisturise more.
Itching or tingling: If you are sensitive to light or have a skin condition, you may need to stop your treatment.
2. Do you get headaches or feel tired eyes?
The problem could be caused by goggles that don’t fit, or by the light being too strong. It is recommended that you adjust the light intensity and rest.
3. Pigmentation (this is a rare condition).
If people with dark skin use it for a long time and in large amounts, it can make pigmentation worse, so they need to use it less often.
[Safety recommendations]
✅ Test before first use: Put a small bit of skin from an arm or something like that under water for 24 hours to see how it reacts.
Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Avoid cosmetics, perfumes and similar products that affect light absorption.
Choose standard equipment. Avoid low-quality, ineffective LED lights. Look for FDA or CE certification to make sure that the lights are good quality.
Zusammenfassung
Die Rotlichttherapie ist sehr sicher, and side effects are mostly mild and short-lived. If you use it correctly, the risk is very low, but some people (like pregnant women and people with skin conditions that make them sensitive to light) should speak to a doctor before use. If it still bothers you after a while, stop using it and see your doctor.
