Why Consistency Matters
Red light therapy supports gradual processes like collagen production and cellular repair. These don't happen in a day. Each session builds on the last.

| Goal | Common routine |
|---|---|
| Getting started | Several sessions per week |
| Skin health | Several sessions per week for a few months, then maintenance |
| Muscle recovery | Around workouts and big days outdoors |
| Ongoing wellness | Regular weekly sessions |
Red Light Therapy Results Timeline
First sessions
- A healthy glow
- Relaxation and a sense of calm
- Muscles that feel less tight after workouts
After several weeks
- Smoother, more even skin tone
- Improved texture
- More comfortable movement
After a few months
- Softer-looking fine lines

Tip: Take photos in the same lighting every couple of weeks. Gradual skin changes are easy to miss in the mirror.
Tips for Better Results
- Come with clean skin. Remove makeup and heavy lotions.
- Be consistent. Regular sessions beat occasional long ones.
- Protect your skin. Daily SPF is a must under the Texas sun.
- Hydrate. Healthy skin starts from within.
- Stack it. Pair red light with infrared sauna or cryotherapy.
