Summary

Are red light therapy devices like face masks for anti-aging actually effective? As a functional medicine clinician, I've personally tested multiple red light therapy devices and in this video, I'll share my clinical perspective on what's worth your investment plus treatment protocols for usage.

What I Cover:

🔸Red light therapy masks for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging

🔸Devices for cognitive enhancement and brain health optimization

🔸Targeted treatments for hair regrowth and combating hair loss

🔸Spot treatment pads for joint pain and muscle recovery

🔸Full body panels for comprehensive wellness benefits

Whether you're looking to improve your skin, boost cognitive function, regrow hair, relieve pain, or invest in a full-body system, I'll give you my honest assessment based on both research and personal experience.
