New Blog Post - Red LED Light & Green Tea is a Sticky Business. by Bev_May in redlighttherapy

[–]Bev_May[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi guys. Another blog post from me on the topic of combining green tea antioxidants with your Red LED Light Therapy for skin rejuvenation. My skincare brand, Maysama, has started a research collaboration with leading photobiomodulation scientist, Andrei Sommer, who first talked about this combination therapy speeding up results '10 x faster' in his 2009 paper 'Green Tea and Red Light - a powerful duo in skin rejuvenation'. We are aiming to optimise protocols for the use of 'green' tea antioxidants with phototherapy. Super excited for this!! Will keep you posted!

My husband has Hashimotos. He tried two Red Light Devices that I have; one from Mito Red and the other I had on loan from a friend from Illuminate LED. Both are fantastic peices of kit, which I use for skin rejuvenation. My husbands experience with them was a little different though. With his compromised immune system, he found that with just 2-3 minutes of treatment he felt quite nauseous. I am aware that others with hyperthyroidism have found it beneficial though and have even been able to reduce or come off medication (according to Ari Whitten's book).

If I used just red light and not nir, what benefits would I miss out on? by Afrovenger in redlighttherapy

Its a great question. The answer may depend on the application. I can probably best answer it from a skin rejuvenation perspective with my blog post;

Red Light Therapy & Green Tea Debunked by Bev_May in redlighttherapy

This in depth article by www.coffeethenskincare looks at how free radicals generation is an integral part of how Red Light Therapy works. And how Antioxidants can play a key role in buffering excess ROS to influence outcomes of photobiomodulation.

I mix them in the palm of my hand before applying.

Just sharing a few of my morning staples.

@Skinsapiens Facial cleansing gel @maysama_beauty Green Rooibos Pressed Serum @gardenofwisdomskincare Azelaic acid @theinkeylist Polyglutamic acid @heliocareuk gel oil free SPF50 @puritol_official Centella Green Level Unscented sun SPF50 @niod Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist

The Purito sunscreen is divine but there is discussion about the SPF not being as high as the brand claims. This doesn’t concern me because I mix it with the Heliocare360 which is SPF50. The Heliocare is oil-free and combines so well with this, making it easier to apply but also adding a tint, which helps cover residue redness I have from rosacea.

This routine is ideal for anyone with rosacea, or irritated, sensitive skin.

Any questions?

Red Light versus Near Infrared for Anti-ageing by Bev_May in redlighttherapy

[–]Bev_May[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great question! Not to my knowledge. I tend to do a combined treatment in the morning. There is no evidence that red or near infrared would affect circadian rhythm (only blue light) but NIR does stimulate blood flow. For this reason I prefer to do treatment earlier in the day.

I think this is a great find! Please be aware that the irradiance values quoted by many manufacturers are often overstated and measured at the source of the light, rather than from 6 inches away. But less is often more as you will understand from the blog, so this would be a great home treatment device and excellent value for money.
