Dark hair - Darker colors of hair may
absorb more light, causing increased
warmth and decreased penetration of
red light. This effect is not likely to be
large.
Melasma / Hyperpigmentation - Our
own product study showed
improvement from red and NIR light on
hyperpigmentation, particularly when
paired with a high antioxidant serum.
However, in rare instances users can
experience the opposite effect. We
suggest starting slowly and using red
light only if this is a concern.
A detailed discussion of this can be
found in our article: Red Light Therapy &
Hyperpigmentation.
Anyone with a contraindication to red
light therapy (or any health condition
at all) should consult with their
physician before using red light
therapy.
