How to Choose a Red Light Therapy Device: Wavelength, Power, and Safety (Part 2)
19m | May 12, 2026How do you choose and use a red light therapy device at home without wasting money, hurting yourself, or falling for misleading marketing? In this second episode of the series, Dr. Mike Hauman provides a practical "reset" for approaching red light therapy with wisdom and discernment.
Dr. Mike walks you through the essential steps of selecting a device based on your specific treatment goal—whether for skin, hair, pain relief, or muscle recovery. He breaks down the key specifications that actually matter, including wavelength, power output, and safety features, while offering clear guidance on what to avoid in an unregulated marketplace.
This episode also covers critical safety considerations, including when not to use red light therapy, how to dose your sessions properly, and why tracking your progress is essential for determining whether the investment is worthwhile. If you've been curious about adding red light therapy to your wellness routine but feel overwhelmed by the options, this reset provides the clarity you need.
Tune in for a grounded, practical approach to making informed decisions about this emerging technology.
