Thankyou so much.Ive spent 15 grand for my neck.I am turning 57 and yes yr before better is better tjan mine.The afternshot could pass as a neck lift.Please can you tell the brand of the red light panel. Thankyou❤
@@joannacotsios9620 Hi JoAnn! I want to assure you that even though I have been very impressed by what red light has done for my skin, my neck does NOT look like I have had a neck lift. When I move it crinkles and creases and when it gets dry it looks crepey. It is definitely not perfect. With all that said, I am happy with the improvements I have seen using red light, good skincare and some other devices such as micro current and radio frequency.
This was great information on red light. I got burned by one of the bulbs once, at a gym, that I guess was burning hotter than the others. So Ive been concerned ever since. LOL Your skin looks wonderful. What was the serum in the gold canister that you show cased, again if you don't mind.
For those who criticize the before picture - keep your turkey neck. This lady is excited about her progress & wants to share to help others improve their neck sag/lines, some people are that giving. 🥳🥳🥳
Hi Annie! I so appreciate you saying this. My regular viewers know how much I believe in red light because they have heard me mention it over and over and over etc. Lol! I believe in it so much and just want to share my experience. So thank you again for this. I really appreciate it!❤️
I ordered a red light device two days ago. I'm 60-years-old and my neck and chin are getting a bit gravity-challenged. I'm hoping this will help out over time. I have to take meds first thing in the morning and lie in bed for 30 minutes before I really get up and get to my day. (I have Fibromyalgia and a couple other hereditary conditions.) I can get up and wash my face, put on some serum and chill out while getting a lovely treatment. 😊
No one tells you to exercise your neck to reduce the waddle as you age...put your head back as far as you can, open your mouth and close it, lifting the jaw up as you close. Look to the right and do the same...then look to the left (I do a set of 25 each way). Do this every day when you're young and you won't get a waddle (promise...I've been doing it for decades...I'm 62 and possess the neck of someone 30 years younger!).
Also, when you say to lift eh jaw as you close, do you mean to use the lower mouth/jaw to make the closing motion, rather than having the top of the mouth move down to meet it?
yes, keep your head tilted back as far as you can when you move to the right and left...you want to feel the muscles in your neck stretch on each side.
Thanks for that. I appreciate it! I'm glad to hear you took pictures and if you do end up sharing your experience, I hope you will let me know. I would love to see it!
Your skin looks FLAWLESS!! I have been using my red light panel (RedRush 400 Pulse) daily for 20 min for about a month. I feel amazing! I hope my results are as good as yours!
Thank you for being so kind!! I do have a question for you. I am not familiar with the RedRush panel. What is the treatment time recommended in the RedRush manual?? I only ask because 20 minutes seems like a long time. You can google "the biphasic response to red light" and see that research has shown that if you use red light too long during a single treatment, you can actually cause oxidative stress, which would in turn do the exact opposite to our skin that we are hoping to achieve with red light. But if you are following the instructions in the manual, you should be fine. But I did just want to mention this because as I have personally learned, red light is great, but more red light doesn't necessarily mean better results. I hope it is ok that I mentioned this. I just love red light so much and I want everyone to get the great results I think I have gotten.
Clinique does animal testing. I wish people would consider buying cruelty-free products. No animal should have to be tortured so people can have nice skin. There are so many amazing skin care and make-up products out there.....
Thank you, I wasn't aware of Clinique. I try to only use cruelty free products, but I do have a clinique foundation.. I'll find another brand when this tube runs out.
@@loriglennon6653 That's great, Lori! I find, more often than not, cruelty-free products also have better/healthier ingredients, so it's a win-win, for us people and for the animals.
Clinique also has harmful ingredients in it...why do red light therapy& use a product that does CRUEL ANIMAL TESTING & harmful ingredients...Use natrural products and you will see better health and aging
I did not know that Clinique tested on animals. Darn I will have to replace them. Poor animals, put here on Earth to be tortured. How do those people sleep at night !
Great update!! Whoo hoo 3 years and such a nice difference. I have just started using a panel to supplement using my neck and deck mask. Led for the win (and Maysama of course!!) Same story for me on my older pictures ... people really need to understand we are trying to share not fool people :) Your skin is goals!!!
Oh Cindy, you are too kind. Thank you! Red light is really the only thing I have been most consistent with. I am lazy! Lol! And red light is the easiest! I know you understand the "before and after picture police" here on the internet! They have no idea how hard it is trying to show accurate pictures with the same lighting, position, etc. Oh well! Thank you for watching and the super kind comment. I truly appreciate it!💕
I use red light at 54 and have also had results that i love..i definitely look fresher and younger...best anti aging device iv used!..your results are great !
Thank you! Red light is my favorite anti aging device too! It really works! Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment. I really appreciate it!
I think the results of the red light on your neck has been really great. I agree that at some point being 56 you may not be able to continue to reverse aging, you don’t have skin of a 20 year old, of course, but the results have been quite incredible. I applaud you for taking such good care of your skin. At 63 unfortunately my laziness toward my skin care is showing in my neck and I think part of that has been from weight gain, loss, gain….where I get a double chin, and then when and if i lose the extra weight, I’m left with saggy skin. Another great video Tina. Thanks for sharing my friend. 😊
Oh Sheila, I hate how hard you are on yourself. I have seen pictures and you are beautiful! Thank you for your constant support my sweet friend. I hope you know how much I appreciate it.❤️
Hi Sheila there are lots of youtube videos to help you change your neck like lymphatic drainage. I’ve recently started to use castor oil & my neck is improving & my tummy is getting flatter. I’m 63 as well just retired after working about 24/7 for 15 years & have more time to look in the mirror now & see all the problems now, trying to fix & change without surgery.
I have a very powerful photbiomodulation device I bought to help my son who was severely vax injured 25 years ago. It's really helping him. I've used it on me to regrow hair. My hair was really thinning and the red light has made it thicker, my hairdresser agrees. You can't stop doing it though or the hair will fall again. I added some beef organ capsules a few months ago and am seeing even more growth! Also I use Celtic Complexion eye elixir on my eyes (no more hooded eyes!) and castor oil as my skin moisturizer. I think my skin looks good for a mature woman (60s). Tina your skin looks amazing especially considering you have rosacea. You can't even tell!
Hi Sallie. So great hearing all the wonderful results your son and yourself have been getting from red light therapy. If a few years ago you had told me that sitting in front of a light could do so much for your health and appearance, I would have thought you were crazy! Lol! But it really is the real deal. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experience. I really appreciate it!
@@tinasbestmidlife Thanks for your response and I guess everyone is in your former camp. My device was crazy expensive and part of my justification for purchase was that I could use it on others. So far of the scores of people I've offered it to only 2 have taken me up on it. But they've both had major health improvements. Over time...
You look so young and attractive!! And this is coming from a 21 year old guy hahah. I'm buying my mom a panel, she's really excited after seeing your video!
Hi Tina! I was so happy to see another Red Light update video from you! I'm excited to take my 6-mo photo in July, although I'm going several days (or more) in a row without doing it because of travel. But it's still better than no Red Light, right? 🙂 I hope you have a truly blessed day, my friend!!!
Your skin looks flawless!! You could pass for 30; I'm not kidding!! I use red light therapy on my face; I am going to add my neck after seeing your results. I've been using the Dr. Gross mask for about a year and have noticed good results. I like it because it has 5 different depths of red light and goes up to 880 nm. You really want the red lights to be right up against your skin to get the maximum benefit and that particular mask has a contoured fit. They also make a neck mask and the face mask has a blue light option, which helps counteract any redness from rosacea or acne. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your results!! Don't forget to add actives like tretinoin or retinol, niacinamide and vitamin C and never forget sunscreen/ SPF!!
Hi Trisha. You are welcome! I love red light therapy and I think you will love it too when you start. Don't forget to take some "before" pictures for yourself so you can track your progress!
In addition to comparing to how you used to look four years ago, you can only imagine how much further aged your neck would be now without the red light! I am happy with my results as well…
Thank you for sharing! I also found that RLT was easy and I had no difficulty being consistent with RLT. I have even treated my hands with exciting results. I hope that you tell all of your friends how nice it is to see improvement in your skin and remind them to always wear sunscreen to keep their skin beautiful.
Hi Carol! That's what I love about red light too. It is so easy to be consistent! And I am in 100% agreement with you on the sunscreen. Doesn't make any sense to repair your skin with LED and then not protect what you did!
Thank you so much for your comment! I have to be honest, a few years ago I was so skeptical about this, but still decided to give it try. Well as you know from the video, I am a believer and so glad I tried it! I just love red light and don't ever want to be without it!
Thanks for posting. I'm exploring options: whole body vs face & eyes for several medical issue. Cosmetic results like yours would be a very 🎉nice "side effect" indeed! Don't let the 'rock throwers' get you down, some people are naturally unpleasant/unkind and show little to no effort to improve.
Thank you Lyn. I hope you get some relief with red light therapy. I love learning about all it can do! Thank you for watching and the encouraging comment. I really appreciate it!💕
Thank you for the encouragement! I just started using 6 weeks ago and i was wondering if my neck would tighten up...evidently it will! Your neck is beautiful. I am also doing it for SAD and other issues but it seems to be something i look forward to doing instead of dreading. God bless you
Hi Shirlee! I am happy this video could be encouraging! I'm a little bit obsessed with red light. Lol! It is still my favorite "anti-aging" device and I could never give it up. It is very interesting you said you are using it partly for SAD. I am going to read more about that. I love learning about all the wonderful things it can help and I will say, I always just feel relaxed after doing a treatment. I think that is one reason I have been very consistent. Thanks for the wonderful comment. I really appreciate it!
Hi Tina! Your results are truly inspiring (and your skin is beautiful). I have been using my Red Light panel the same amount of time as you (and the Maysama Rooibus Pressed serum was added about 1.5 year's in). Like you, my neck was my worst trouble spot and while it's not like I'm in my 20's (hello sunbathing and tanning beds for years!) at 62 (yow!) my neck--and skin in general--definitely looks a whole lot better. I also average about 5 times a week for 10 minutes each time and I absolutely think this is my holy grail, desert island skincare device. I will never give it up! I don't use goggles either btw and I swear my vision has gotten better too (anecdotally of course!). Your video once again confirms my choice to be consistent in the use of Red Light! If I were to get another panel, the Maysama Pulsed Light would be my choice.
Hi Sallie! Thank you for sharing your experience being a long time red light user as well. You know I agree with you about it being the "holy grail"! I will be an old lady (hopefully 🤞) sitting in front of my red light! Because I have seen pictures of you 🥰, I can attest that it is working for you too! You are beautiful and look so much younger than your 62 years! I am so lucky being sent all these fabulous devices! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us and I hope you're having a great week my beautiful freind!💕
6 months in I can see real benefits in my batwing arms.They had sagged early in perimenopause and have benefited the most. It's helping my rosacea, melasma and slowly my fine lines. I wish it improved volume - sadly can't do all - I still do PRF injections twice yearly for my tear troughs.
Red and near infrared light is good for the eyes if you expose them to it as in open your eyes and look into the light. There was a study that showed a reversal in aging related damage to vision.
I’m 56 and haven’t dealt with any neck issues yet, but I know that will change and it’s good to see the red light helps with that. I have been slacking this year doing my red light panel due to so much going on with my family. I hope I can get back on a regular routine soon. Thank you for sharing your great results. 💜
Hi Holly! I think my neck looked so bad compared to my face because for many years I neglected it! Whenever I see a young women in a video applying skincare or sunscreen and she only applies it to her face. I am screaming at the screen "put it on your neck!!" Lol! But, I am so thankful to have found things that help. I know you had mentioned a while back your Dad's health was not good. I hope he is doing ok. It sounds like you have a lot going on, so don't beat yourself up about not sticking with routines. Sometimes our focus needs to be where it needs to be and that is ok. Take care of yourself my friend and I hope you have a good day💕
I know what you mean. I’m surprised mine isn’t bad because I grew in the surf culture, lived on the beach in Hawaii and was constantly in the sun with no sunscreen. I also worked at tanning salons at one point. Ugh.. I’m guessing generics play a role here also. Regardless, yes always take the skincare down to your neck and chest. I started that in my 30’s I think and I’m sure that helped reverse any damage. Thanks for mentioning my dad, he’s still in the hospital and my almost 31 year old son isn’t well. It’s been a hard hard year so far.
Thank you for your video. There is data about it helping vision/eyes, but everyone else says it will cause blindness. It appears to be the only wavelength, the red light wavelength that is safe for eyes- yet of course its scary and daunting to try. We are all told this causes blindness for all other lights. I hope someone has more experience on the eye area to share.
I also hope we can see more studies on red light and eye health. I am linking an article that I read about red light and eyes in case you are interested . Thanks for watching! www.aao.org/eye-health/news/red-light-protect-aging-eyes-rlt-pbm-near-infrared
Yes that is what I read too, the blue light is bad the red light regenerates it. Of course the retina is so sensitive. Its something you want to sure about. I use a mask too so far no problems. @@tinasbestmidlife
I had red light therapy once with one of those devices that come over the top of you. I had Google's on but after that when I was driving at night I had flashes of light. With the Goggles it was still bright. I had to stop the treatment. Maybe different for others.
@@antheahamilton4268 My face mask is pretty mild. I don’t wear any goggles with it. I’m sure it has shined on my eyes as well. There are intensity levels which may be the reason. I keep my intensity on low. It has worked fine for me on low. I think pulsed light would also be too powerful for an eye area but maybe not. Seems an eye specialist like Huberman Lab should do a show on this.
@@tinasbestmidlife Your research should concern you: Risks of Red Light Therapy A recent study in the US suggested that red light therapy with several available red light instruments could cause retinal damage. The researchers warned physicians to treat red light therapy with caution until safety standards can be confirmed. Unregulated red light devices can be found online, which raises concerns among physicians in the U.S.
You are so sweet to say that. Thank you!! I have done a couple of videos on my nighttime and morning skincare routines, but I haven't yet done a gadget routine. But that is something I will be working on. Thanks again for making my day with your sweet comment. I really appreciate it!❤️
Hi there! I just came across your channel. You look absolutely beautiful! I’ve been wanting to try red light for so long! I have rosacea as well and I have tried so many different things to try and help it but nothing has helped with the redness!! I also suffer with severe chronic pain and the red light is so beneficial for the body! @Maysama is so good! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful rest of the week! 🥰
Hi Crissy! You are very sweet! Thank you!🥰 I will tell you that since adding the Maysama serum to my routine, my redness is so much better. My skin looks the best right after a red light treatment. I am sorry you suffer from chronic pain. I know that red light is my go-to whenever I strain my back. I am always amazed how quickly it helps! I know there is a tanning salon near me that has a red light bed. I think that would be amazing! I am glad you found me and you certainly brightened my day with your comment. Thank you!💕
@@tinasbestmidlifeThank you so much for your kind response! That’s awesome to hear that your tanning salon has a red light bed… I used to tan in beds years ago so I know with the way my back is now, I wouldn’t be able to get in out of the bed but I appreciate you letting me know about it though. Take care and have a lovely day 🥰
You and your skin look fabulous. Thanks for the heads up. I'm about to do some before photos. I'll make sure to get the best images 😁...💕 From the Scottish Highlands 😎👍
You are so incredibly sweet! Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I’m glad you’re taking pictures. I think you will very happy you did! Can I also tell you what a thrill it is for me that I have someone from Scotland who watched my video!! Wow!!🥰
@@tinasbestmidlife I don't know about kind... I'm just honest 😁. If my skin looks like yours when I've done all I plan to do ( I'm setting myself quite the challenge lol) then I'll be delighted 😁. 💕
@@tinasbestmidlife awe Thank you ❤, I just purchased the CurrentBody mask using your discount code!Super excited for it!Thanks again for making these videos!
Hi Jade. Thank you! I can completely understand your hesitation. I do know for me personally that this serum has helped my redness from my rosacea immensely. For that reason alone, it is a repeat buy for me and I use it every time I treat with red light.
Hi Kristin! I am not an expert and can only share with you my personal experience, but I think depending on how much laxity to the skin on your tummy, it might help a little. But maybe not enough to see big improvements. I have treated my stomach, but to be honest, I haven't been super consistent and I have never noticed too much change. I also have never tried to treat stretch marks, so I am not sure how much improvement you would get. Hopefully someone with more experience treating the stomach and stretch marks will chime in here and leave us some more feedback. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
I. Have used the maysama serum with my red light routine and I find it sticky to use. What I did was purchase rooibos tea and make a cup and after it cools down I apply it. It is more absorbent and does a better job.
Hi Tina, your skin looks great and I can hardly see any wrinkles. I also have very dry skin in the cheek area. My neck starts to look saggy and wrinkley. I have been thinking of red light therapy, but I don't like those masks. But sitting in front a device seems to be more comfortable. I still don't know yet if red light therapy does more damage to my body as I want.
Hi there! Thank you! Since near infra red lights really do help with collagen production, I think there is a bit of firming that happens, but I really think with red light therapy, the better your skin is when you start, the better it will stay that way when using red light. Does that make sense?? If you have a lot of laxity, it will probably help a little, but I wouldn't expect any dramatic improvements. That of course is just my opinion and maybe someone else has had really good firming results with red light. I hope that helps a little. Thanks so much for watching!
I know these devices are pricey. My friend Tina. Her channel name is Tina Her Beautiful Journey is testing out a more affordable red light mask. She will be doing a video on it after a couple of months. Hopefully she likes it and maybe the could be an option?
Those are some really great results! I'm going to start saving for a red light device, I think. Might take a while, but the more aging I do, the more dramatic the results, right?😂
Thanks Tina! Who would have ever thought that sitting in front of a light could do such things! I just love it! Thanks for watching my friend. Have a good one!
Lol, way back when I used to get a bunch of red laser light bracelets, remove the strap from the light beam side of each bracelet, bunch them together, and shine that a few centimeters away from my facial skin and my scalp, and anywhere else, for red light therapy before I found devices, lol! I had read about l.e.d. lights and NASA, and laboratory rats undergoing sight regeneration from red (laser) light therapy while under a controlled experiment, yada- yada, and I was "in"- I just thought panels were expensive back then. There are a lot of choices now, so that's a good thing.
@turnbacktime65 thank you. I just contacted a company and they are going to send me a mask to review on my channel! I'm so excited. But this is good info to have so I can share more affordable options with my viewers.
Hi Pam! Mainly I use panels, but it's really just a personal preference. A lot of the masks you can still place on your neck to treat. I have found the longer you own a mask the more flexible it becomes and it is easier to manipulate and treat your neck. I hope that helps!

For the rosacea try taking a garlic capsule with each meal.
Do red led lights work? I have this led light I but on my wall for aesthetik reasons and I can choose only red light ofcourse, I ask myself wrther its any good?
What kind of light do you have? Just a red light is not the same as red light therapy device. A red light bulb on a Christmas tree(for example) is not going to have the same effects as an LED panel or mask that contains red light in certain wavelengths. Obviously, I believe red light panels and masks work because I have seen the benefits in my own skin. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching!
Thanks I just started. Would that routine of 3-4 times a week work for me? And for how long with each session. Mine is a pretty high dose red lite panel the Red Rush 360. Appreciate you😊
Hi there! I think starting out, if you were consistent with 4 days a week, that would be a great start! I wasn’t familiar with the Red Rush 360 and just googled it and it recommended 7-10 minute treatments. I would not go past 10 minute treatments, as research is showing that more is definitely not better when it comes to red light. Don’t forget to take some before pictures for yourself!
Thanks so much Tina 👍 - I believe you ! You look great and your neck looks great too 👍re red light and eyes you can get affordable scientifically designed red light therapy glasses made in the UK that slow the ageing of your eyes if you are over forty we have the details
Do you have an opinion on the difference of the red light device mentioned in this video and the Omni Lux face mask? I'm trying to decide which way to go!
Hi Amy! I have never used the Omni Lux mask, so I can't comment on that one in particular, but I have used the Current Body one which is very similar, but maybe slightly fewer bulbs. Now the Maysama panel has the addition of using pulsed red light, which the Omni Lux does not have. With the said, I know many people love their Omni Lux masks and get great results. Deciding between a panel and mask is really just a personal preference. Having used both and right now really enjoying the panel, but I have gotten great results with either. I am not sure if you have seen it yet, but Maysama has come out with a brand new LED mask. It's called the PRANA mask. I have had it a few weeks and I am really loving it! It like the panel, has a pulsed light feature, and also there is a setting to use red and blue together which is great if you still get breakouts. And the thing I LOVE about the new Maysama Mask is that the mouth area doesn't have a lip opening, so you get the benefits of red light at that area, which I think is genius! I think it would be a great option to check out. I can link my ShopMy store here and in the section of my favorite red light devices, you can find the PRANA mask linked, in case you want to check it out. I hope all this helps!! shopmy.us/tinamarcin
Red light or better infa red light can only give your skin 20% more collegen but with rooibos serum it goes to 55%. In my experience use infa red as the foundation because it goes to the deepest part of skin ie the foundation then once you've done that say 6 monhs then go red light n infa red ie one per day in turn.
I'm prob gonna get flack for this but when I got my stimulus I bought something for myself -a Opatra face mask and the handheld machine with heat & vibration...ones Msrp at the time was over 600$ the other I think was 300(I had 30% & 50% off a single purchase from shoplc,so I ordered them separately saving a lot compared to reg prices on shoplc and Opatra) they have lifetime warranties so that's good.... unfortunately they were packed in storage so I haven't gotten to use them extensively until now as I just got em out about 2weeks ago...I think I am going to do this as well because at 41(and many,many terrible lifestyle decisions thruout the years) my face is a wreck!! I also got a "needle roller" (which some use for hair growth and scalp therapy) that I intend on using 1st,then applying some type of HA, retinol or something,then using the heated wand. I want to do this at least 3x a week..I will document and "keep receipts" on my progress and let y'all know what my results are. Best of luck ladies! Just because we gain wisdom as we age we do not need to wear that on our faces. I had some medical issues an in an effort to address the issue,the medicine actually led to the demise of the interior/roots of my teeth. Once treatment concluded I realized there was no way I could possibly afford a full mouth of implants. I opted for dentures rather than nothing but from start to finish (meds,pulling,after care, fittings etc.)we were still out almost 5k ..making matters worse they look so odd on my face I don't like to wear them.tje bottom teeth are the right width and style but they are extremely "tall" and the top is extremely narrow...this is after sending them back 3x-enough Abt that but they,well absence of them is the reason I am trying to fix my incredibly aged skin as having bad skin and no teeth is bad,if I can fix one maybe I will feel better and start to venture from my home as I did before..I really try to avoid public places if at all possible because of my looks. It has effected me so dramatically and taken such a toll on my self esteem everything else ha fallen apart too. And I know I am not the only one out here, regardless of reason, feels this way Abt themselves..I'm starting a journey!! This year is gonna'be great! I'm off to a slow start,but it's the quality of the "progress"-not the amount time it takes!! You only fail if you give up- because as long as you don't quit, there is always a chance things can change for the better.bit if you quit,that chance becomes non-existent,so then and only then can you say unequivocally,no doubt,100% that you have indeed failed!! Thank you whoever took the time to read this! Maybe once things, No, I mean "once I make things change" and have the "proof" of my journey I will have the confidence to post it in hope of helping someone else...Never forget when we feel alone that in reality, we all know someone who has put faith in us and our abilities. It is the same person that never leaves our side,will never abandon us. Someone who gives us strength when we are weak,has forgiven us for the worst that we have done, someone who loves us unconditionally...That person is our Lord and Savior,Jesus/Yesuha!! And with him beside me,I know I can accomplish my goals,break the cycle of addiction, self abuse, hate, sloth, selfishness, laziness and other negative choices/paths I have taken-following in the very same steps that so many in my family before me walked. I will overcome the perpetual state of poverty so many in my family have experienced and it will stop with me. My young children will see that I am strong and thru me they will have the ambition to continue on the ne road I have paved for them to follow!
Hi Sheila! I like to use both red and near infra red when I treat. I have heard from many others that they can't use near infrared as it makes their hyperpigmentation worse. I don't have that problem, but if you do, just something to consider. I hope this helps!
@@tinasbestmidlife I can tell the difference when I go without using it. Melatonin producing declines and restless sleep ensues. It helps keep inflammation in check and lymphatic clear. I do put the panel (no pluses but includes nir with red light) in front of my face and upper body. I haven’t experienced any adverse side effects. No clinical studies I have seen shows any. I have used all five devices for years without problems (Full body mat, half body panel, face with neck mask, and pods I attach for specific body parts therapy)., I am over 50, so skin care is important in keeping the biggest protective barrier in great health.
Hi Tina - I'm a bit confused about which device you are using for face, neck? Under this video you say you are using Current Body's mask. (which I doubt is a pulsing light -?) ...Or IS it? You also show footage in the video while using a pulsing panel. I have Omniluxe face, neck, hand devices. Been using for about 1.5 years. These are continuous stream light - no pulsing. Protocol is 10min treatments 4-6 days/wk. I do think these have helped firm up my skin. Though never took photo's. I think I was starting to get those turkey neck bands (I'm in my 70's) but it does seem,to me, that my neck is alot firmer now than before I started. It just does not seem that loose in that area, as I recall it being, prior to using Omniluxe. I am also using Curelogy's Retin-A @ 05% on face & neck for about 2 yrs now. So, it may be the combo of both these modalities that have given me firmer skin. It has come to my attn (as you have indicated in this video) that, studies have shown, pulsing redlight is more effective than continuous stream. My iRestore Hair Growth helmet gives a pulsing red light. The protocol is 30min every other day with that device. I am very happy with the iRestore helmet. (Using for over a year now.) Not only is my hair thicker/healthier, but seems to have lightened my hair(?)...or restored it to it's original color somehow? 🤷 My hair was sort of paperbag blonde/brown mixed with some grey around the temples when I began using iRestore - now it's the color it was when I was a kid - white blonde - but with some darker undertones mixed in. In other words- its not solid white blonde. (whIch would look a bit freaky, imo)😅 Anyhow, I ❤ it! And feel no need to have blonde highlights put in. 😊 But, to reiterate my main inquiry with you, Tina - does your Current Body mask have a pulsating light?
Hi Barbara! First off, how interesting the I-Restore changed your hair color back to the same color you had a child. That is fascinating to me!! I am sorry if there was confusion in my video. I mentioned in the video that I got really great results around my eyes using the Current Body mask, but no,. That mask is continuous LED. I am currently using the Maysama Panel which does offer both continuous and pulsed light. As you could see from my photos, I am maintaining my results, but there hasn't been any major improvements. Which isn't surprising because I have been using red light for over 3 years now and understandably it can only do so much. Honestly, I think you should stick with what you are already doing with red light. Keep using your Omnilux and keep being consistent. That's just my two cents. I hope that answers your question. Thank you very much for watching and sharing your experience . I appreciate it!
Hi Stephen. This video is not about the panel. It is really about my red light routine and how I am maintaining my results. I shared the device I am currently using because my subscribers ask me. So yes, I am enjoying the gifted panel, but as I mentioned in the video, I got the most benefits from red light during my first 6 months of use on a Mito panel I purchased. I think there are so many great red light devices out there and I think if you research and find ones that have those optimal studied wavelengths, you can get some great results.
Thank you! The light in the video is the Maysama LED panel. Thanks so much for watching and leaving me such a nice comment. I really appreciate it. Hope you have a great day!
Nicely explained, thank you. Was it the _Current Body_ you were using in the first three years when you noticed an improvement? Do you also use Tretinoin? May I suggest the it might be a good idea to include a flashing light warning for anyone who may have epilepsy.
Hi there. I will go ahead and pin a comment warning about the flashing. So sorry if this affected you. I do use trentinoin and my first red light device was the Mito 300 panel. Hope this helps.
Hi! I switched from using the Current Body mask to the Maysama panel because I really wanted to try the pulsed light feature on the Maysama panel. There is some research showing how pulsed red light can result in better efficacy of water based skincare products that are applied before a treatment. I also liked that with this panel I can treat with the regular red and near infra red light settings(NOT the pulsed) without the goggles and treat my eye lid skin. I am really enjoying the panel, but still think the Current Body mask is a great LED device as well. Hope that answers your question.
Hi there! With this panel and the distance I sit away from it, I am able to treat my face and neck at the same time. As far as the safety of LED with fillers, I really don't know. I have never had fillers before, so it's never something I have researched. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
Better red light penetration when you have a clean face. No moisturizers or sunblocks. So to maximize the full benefits make sure you clean your face and do not wear anything on your face like moisturizers. Bet you will get even better results than what you have gotten these past 3 years.
I agree I never treat with heavy moisturizers or sunscreen on. I do have to say though, that I will always use the Green Rooibos pressed serum for my treatments, because it has made the biggest difference in the redness of my face!
Wow, so cool and thank you for sharing! I would love to purchase a good quality infrared panel - with minimal EMF emissions. If anyone has good recommendations, let me know!! I believe red light and infrared both achieve similar improved skin results
I can’t do their serum because I can’t tolerate niacinamide. Their website said that good results DEPEND on using this serum with the panel… should I bother?
Hi there! I personally have seen the benefits in my skin when I added the serum, but I also used red light for over a year without using any kind of serum and still had really good results! I really don’t think you can go wrong with red light on its own. That’s just my two cents, but I hope it was helpful.
You don't have to put anything on for treatments. I just like using the Maysama serum because it really helps my redness and there was also a small study done with the Maysama serum and Mito Red light. It showed that when using the serum prior to red light treatments, you get even better results as compared to just red light alone. Hope that helps!
WARNING! At 8:29-8:50 there is pulsing LED footage. If you have epilepsy or are sensitive to flashing lights you might want to avoid that part of the video.
Thankyou so much.Ive spent 15 grand for my neck.I am turning 57 and yes yr before better is better tjan mine.The afternshot could pass as a neck lift.Please can you tell the brand of the red light panel.
Thankyou❤
@@joannacotsios9620 Hi JoAnn! I want to assure you that even though I have been very impressed by what red light has done for my skin, my neck does NOT look like I have had a neck lift. When I move it crinkles and creases and when it gets dry it looks crepey. It is definitely not perfect. With all that said, I am happy with the improvements I have seen using red light, good skincare and some other devices such as micro current and radio frequency.
@@tinasbestmidlife thankyou for sharing.❤
@joannacotsios9620 thank YOU for watching!❤️
This was great information on red light. I got burned by one of the bulbs once, at a gym, that I guess was burning hotter than the others. So Ive been concerned ever since. LOL Your skin looks wonderful. What was the serum in the gold canister that you show cased, again if you don't mind.
For those who criticize the before picture - keep your turkey neck. This lady is excited about her progress & wants to share to help others improve their neck sag/lines, some people are that giving. 🥳🥳🥳
Hi Annie! I so appreciate you saying this. My regular viewers know how much I believe in red light because they have heard me mention it over and over and over etc. Lol! I believe in it so much and just want to share my experience. So thank you again for this. I really appreciate it!❤️
People are MORON'S
Your skin looks terrific. I’m using the omnilux mask to help with aging and my eczema. I hope my results are as great as yours!
I ordered a red light device two days ago. I'm 60-years-old and my neck and chin are getting a bit gravity-challenged. I'm hoping this will help out over time. I have to take meds first thing in the morning and lie in bed for 30 minutes before I really get up and get to my day. (I have Fibromyalgia and a couple other hereditary conditions.) I can get up and wash my face, put on some serum and chill out while getting a lovely treatment. 😊
@@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808 it does sound like a lovely way to start the day!
I just started using red light therapy. This is super encouraging to continue!
Hi Liz! I am glad it could be helpful! Thank you!
I used it on my back after i pulled it. It works and overall i use it whenever I get injured
I can see a HUGE improvement! Wow! Right light works best over long periods of time. You will still continue to see results.
Thank you Babbie! I won't ever be without red light now, and I will continue to monitor my progress. Here's hoping I do continue to see improvements!
No one tells you to exercise your neck to reduce the waddle as you age...put your head back as far as you can, open your mouth and close it, lifting the jaw up as you close. Look to the right and do the same...then look to the left (I do a set of 25 each way). Do this every day when you're young and you won't get a waddle (promise...I've been doing it for decades...I'm 62 and possess the neck of someone 30 years younger!).
Hi Stephanie! I so appreciate you sharing this with me. I am going to do this! Thank you !!!
Do you still lean the head back when you turn right and left? And thank you!
Also, when you say to lift eh jaw as you close, do you mean to use the lower mouth/jaw to make the closing motion, rather than having the top of the mouth move down to meet it?
@@MeghanMakesaComment-st1st yes. when you lift the bottom to match the top you'll feel all the muscles in your neck stretch...that's the goal.
yes, keep your head tilted back as far as you can when you move to the right and left...you want to feel the muscles in your neck stretch on each side.
I’ve been taking photos of my red light/retinol journey. For myself only. If I see really good results I might share them. I totally get the photo.
Thanks for that. I appreciate it!
I'm glad to hear you took pictures and if you do end up sharing your experience, I hope you will let me know. I would love to see it!
Yes pls share results we need more transparency and not just a affiliated sale just a real genuine review
Your facial skin and neck skin looks incredible…. why our necks don’t keep up with our faces is sooo annoying. Red light is amazing for everything.❤
Hi Sussanne! Thank you! The aging neck! Ugh!! Lol! I agree so annoying! But I am happy red light has helped.
I also agree that red light is amazing!!
Your skin looks FLAWLESS!! I have been using my red light panel (RedRush 400 Pulse) daily for 20 min for about a month. I feel amazing! I hope my results are as good as yours!
Thank you for being so kind!!
I do have a question for you. I am not familiar with the RedRush panel. What is the treatment time recommended in the RedRush manual?? I only ask because 20 minutes seems like a long time. You can google "the biphasic response to red light" and see that research has shown that if you use red light too long during a single treatment, you can actually cause oxidative stress, which would in turn do the exact opposite to our skin that we are hoping to achieve with red light. But if you are following the instructions in the manual, you should be fine. But I did just want to mention this because as I have personally learned, red light is great, but more red light doesn't necessarily mean better results. I hope it is ok that I mentioned this. I just love red light so much and I want everyone to get the great results I think I have gotten.
Clinique does animal testing. I wish people would consider buying cruelty-free products. No animal should have to be tortured so people can have nice skin. There are so many amazing skin care and make-up products out there.....
Thank you, I wasn't aware of Clinique. I try to only use cruelty free products, but I do have a clinique foundation.. I'll find another brand when this tube runs out.
@@loriglennon6653 That's great, Lori! I find, more often than not, cruelty-free products also have better/healthier ingredients, so it's a win-win, for us people and for the animals.
Clinique also has harmful ingredients in it...why do red light therapy& use a product that does CRUEL ANIMAL TESTING & harmful ingredients...Use natrural products and you will see better health and aging
I did not know that Clinique tested on animals. Darn I will have to replace them. Poor animals, put here on Earth to be tortured. How do those people sleep at night !
What is your solution? Testing it on lesser human beings who would except 100$s per test? Is that your solution?
Great update!! Whoo hoo 3 years and such a nice difference. I have just started using a panel to supplement using my neck and deck mask. Led for the win (and Maysama of course!!) Same story for me on my older pictures ... people really need to understand we are trying to share not fool people :) Your skin is goals!!!
Oh Cindy, you are too kind. Thank you! Red light is really the only thing I have been most consistent with. I am lazy! Lol! And red light is the easiest!
I know you understand the "before and after picture police" here on the internet! They have no idea how hard it is trying to show accurate pictures with the same lighting, position, etc. Oh well!
Thank you for watching and the super kind comment. I truly appreciate it!💕
I use red light at 54 and have also had results that i love..i definitely look fresher and younger...best anti aging device iv used!..your results are great !
Thank you! Red light is my favorite anti aging device too! It really works!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment. I really appreciate it!
I think the results of the red light on your neck has been really great. I agree that at some point being 56 you may not be able to continue to reverse aging, you don’t have skin of a 20 year old, of course, but the results have been quite incredible. I applaud you for taking such good care of your skin. At 63 unfortunately my laziness toward my skin care is showing in my neck and I think part of that has been from weight gain, loss, gain….where I get a double chin, and then when and if i lose the extra weight, I’m left with saggy skin. Another great video Tina. Thanks for sharing my friend. 😊
Oh Sheila, I hate how hard you are on yourself. I have seen pictures and you are beautiful!
Thank you for your constant support my sweet friend. I hope you know how much I appreciate it.❤️
Hi Sheila there are lots of youtube videos to help you change your neck like lymphatic drainage. I’ve recently started to use castor oil & my neck is improving & my tummy is getting flatter. I’m 63 as well just retired after working about 24/7 for 15 years & have more time to look in the mirror now & see all the problems now, trying to fix & change without surgery.
I have a very powerful photbiomodulation device I bought to help my son who was severely vax injured 25 years ago. It's really helping him. I've used it on me to regrow hair. My hair was really thinning and the red light has made it thicker, my hairdresser agrees. You can't stop doing it though or the hair will fall again. I added some beef organ capsules a few months ago and am seeing even more growth! Also I use Celtic Complexion eye elixir on my eyes (no more hooded eyes!) and castor oil as my skin moisturizer. I think my skin looks good for a mature woman (60s). Tina your skin looks amazing especially considering you have rosacea. You can't even tell!
Hi Sallie. So great hearing all the wonderful results your son and yourself have been getting from red light therapy. If a few years ago you had told me that sitting in front of a light could do so much for your health and appearance, I would have thought you were crazy! Lol! But it really is the real deal.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experience. I really appreciate it!
@@tinasbestmidlife Thanks for your response and I guess everyone is in your former camp. My device was crazy expensive and part of my justification for purchase was that I could use it on others. So far of the scores of people I've offered it to only 2 have taken me up on it. But they've both had major health improvements. Over time...
Your neck shows incredible improvement. You Look wonderful.
Thank you so much!💕
You look so young and attractive!! And this is coming from a 21 year old guy hahah. I'm buying my mom a panel, she's really excited after seeing your video!
That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you! I hope your Mom likes red light as much as I do!
Hi Tina! I was so happy to see another Red Light update video from you!
I'm excited to take my 6-mo photo in July, although I'm going several days (or more) in a row without doing it because of travel. But it's still better than no Red Light, right? 🙂
I hope you have a truly blessed day, my friend!!!
I can't wait to hear about your results!
Hope you have a fantastic day my sweet friend! Take care!❤️
Thanks for this informative and evidence based video! I appreciate it!
You are very welcome and it was so nice of you to say that! Thank you!!
Your skin looks absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much for making my day!❤️
Congrats I’m proud of your progress ❤
Thank you!!
@@tinasbestmidlife you’re welcome
Your skin looks flawless!! You could pass for 30; I'm not kidding!! I use red light therapy on my face; I am going to add my neck after seeing your results. I've been using the Dr. Gross mask for about a year and have noticed good results. I like it because it has 5 different depths of red light and goes up to 880 nm. You really want the red lights to be right up against your skin to get the maximum benefit and that particular mask has a contoured fit. They also make a neck mask and the face mask has a blue light option, which helps counteract any redness from rosacea or acne. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your results!! Don't forget to add actives like tretinoin or retinol, niacinamide and vitamin C and never forget sunscreen/ SPF!!
Hi Kris! Glad you are loving red light as much as I am!
And yes, I am doing all "the things"! Lol!
Thanks for watching and I hope you have a good one!
Thanks for sharing your experience. It is very helpful to keep me going on my own red light journey
Hi Bella! I am glad it could be helpful. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it!
Your neck looks great and your face too. I definitely see how your neck improved. I'm looking for red-light therapy now. Thanks for sharing
Hi Trisha. You are welcome! I love red light therapy and I think you will love it too when you start. Don't forget to take some "before" pictures for yourself so you can track your progress!
Your skin looks amazingly beautiful!
Thank you Jennie! 🥰
LED light therapy is amazing!!!! I’ve seen so many health benefits, pain relief, skin improvements etc in the 7 months I’ve been doing it regularly
I totally agree!! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it!
Can you tell me which red light therapy you use? Is it a full body panel?
In addition to comparing to how you used to look four years ago, you can only imagine how much further aged your neck would be now without the red light! I am happy with my results as well…
So true!
Wow using red light on my face on acne.It works.You look gergouse❤ Love from Poland🇵🇱❤️
Well you are very sweet!! Thank you!! And can I tell you how neat it is for me that someone in Poland watched my video!!! Thank you!💕
Thank you for sharing! I also found that RLT was easy and I had no difficulty being consistent with RLT. I have even treated my hands with exciting results. I hope that you tell all of your friends how nice it is to see improvement in your skin and remind them to always wear sunscreen to keep their skin beautiful.
Hi Carol!
That's what I love about red light too. It is so easy to be consistent! And I am in 100% agreement with you on the sunscreen. Doesn't make any sense to repair your skin with LED and then not protect what you did!
Amazing results! Thank you for sharing this useful info
I am so happy it could be helpful! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it!
amazing!!!!! thanks for posting. i have been telling friends about RLT for years and they dont understand how fabulous it is. you just proved it.
Thank you so much for your comment!
I have to be honest, a few years ago I was so skeptical about this, but still decided to give it try. Well as you know from the video, I am a believer and so glad I tried it! I just love red light and don't ever want to be without it!
Thanks for posting. I'm exploring options: whole body vs face & eyes for several medical issue. Cosmetic results like yours would be a very 🎉nice "side effect" indeed! Don't let the 'rock throwers' get you down, some people are naturally unpleasant/unkind and show little to no effort to improve.
Thank you Lyn. I hope you get some relief with red light therapy. I love learning about all it can do!
Thank you for watching and the encouraging comment. I really appreciate it!💕
Thank you for the encouragement! I just started using 6 weeks ago and i was wondering if my neck would tighten up...evidently it will! Your neck is beautiful. I am also doing it for SAD and other issues but it seems to be something i look forward to doing instead of dreading. God bless you
Hi Shirlee! I am happy this video could be encouraging! I'm a little bit obsessed with red light. Lol! It is still my favorite "anti-aging" device and I could never give it up. It is very interesting you said you are using it partly for SAD. I am going to read more about that. I love learning about all the wonderful things it can help and I will say, I always just feel relaxed after doing a treatment. I think that is one reason I have been very consistent.
Thanks for the wonderful comment. I really appreciate it!
Hi Tina! Your results are truly inspiring (and your skin is beautiful). I have been using my Red Light panel the same amount of time as you (and the Maysama Rooibus Pressed serum was added about 1.5 year's in). Like you, my neck was my worst trouble spot and while it's not like I'm in my 20's (hello sunbathing and tanning beds for years!) at 62 (yow!) my neck--and skin in general--definitely looks a whole lot better. I also average about 5 times a week for 10 minutes each time and I absolutely think this is my holy grail, desert island skincare device. I will never give it up! I don't use goggles either btw and I swear my vision has gotten better too (anecdotally of course!). Your video once again confirms my choice to be consistent in the use of Red Light! If I were to get another panel, the Maysama Pulsed Light would be my choice.
Hi Sallie! Thank you for sharing your experience being a long time red light user as well. You know I agree with you about it being the "holy grail"! I will be an old lady (hopefully 🤞) sitting in front of my red light! Because I have seen pictures of you 🥰, I can attest that it is working for you too! You are beautiful and look so much younger than your 62 years!
I am so lucky being sent all these fabulous devices!
Thank you so much for sharing with all of us and I hope you're having a great week my beautiful freind!💕
6 months in I can see real benefits in my batwing arms.They had sagged early in perimenopause and have benefited the most. It's helping my rosacea, melasma and slowly my fine lines. I wish it improved volume - sadly can't do all - I still do PRF injections twice yearly for my tear troughs.
It sounds like it is helping you a lot! I love to hear it!!
I like the Hooga wrap - its easy to use and can be wrapped on face at highest level. You can choose 66nm or 850nm or both.
Never thought of a wrap to treat your face! Interesting!
Red and near infrared light is good for the eyes if you expose them to it as in open your eyes and look into the light. There was a study that showed a reversal in aging related damage to vision.
Thank you so much for sharing that! Do you happen to know the study? I would be so interested in reading that!
I just watched a video by a plastic surgeon who says you should always wear googles.
ofc plastic surgeons wld say that , they don’t know everything
@@tinasbestmidlife Andrew Huberman talks about it.
Great update and amazing progress Tina
Thank you!!!
You look amazing! I’m so happy I came across your video, definitely wanna give this a try!
Thank you!! I am happy you found me!
I’m 56 and haven’t dealt with any neck issues yet, but I know that will change and it’s good to see the red light helps with that. I have been slacking this year doing my red light panel due to so much going on with my family. I hope I can get back on a regular routine soon. Thank you for sharing your great results. 💜
Hi Holly! I think my neck looked so bad compared to my face because for many years I neglected it! Whenever I see a young women in a video applying skincare or sunscreen and she only applies it to her face. I am screaming at the screen "put it on your neck!!" Lol! But, I am so thankful to have found things that help.
I know you had mentioned a while back your Dad's health was not good. I hope he is doing ok. It sounds like you have a lot going on, so don't beat yourself up about not sticking with routines. Sometimes our focus needs to be where it needs to be and that is ok.
Take care of yourself my friend and I hope you have a good day💕
I know what you mean. I’m surprised mine isn’t bad because I grew in the surf culture, lived on the beach in Hawaii and was constantly in the sun with no sunscreen. I also worked at tanning salons at one point. Ugh.. I’m guessing generics play a role here also. Regardless, yes always take the skincare down to your neck and chest. I started that in my 30’s I think and I’m sure that helped reverse any damage.
Thanks for mentioning my dad, he’s still in the hospital and my almost 31 year old son isn’t well. It’s been a hard hard year so far.
Oh gosh Holly. I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad and son… I’m adding them to my prayers ❤️
@@tinasbestmidlifeThank you Tina, that means a lot 💜
Thank you for your video. There is data about it helping vision/eyes, but everyone else says it will cause blindness. It appears to be the only wavelength, the red light wavelength that is safe for eyes- yet of course its scary and daunting to try. We are all told this causes blindness for all other lights. I hope someone has more experience on the eye area to share.
I also hope we can see more studies on red light and eye health. I am linking an article that I read about red light and eyes in case you are interested . Thanks for watching!
www.aao.org/eye-health/news/red-light-protect-aging-eyes-rlt-pbm-near-infrared
Yes that is what I read too, the blue light is bad the red light regenerates it. Of course the retina is so sensitive. Its something you want to sure about. I use a mask too so far no problems. @@tinasbestmidlife
I had red light therapy once with one of those devices that come over the top of you. I had Google's on but after that when I was driving at night I had flashes of light. With the Goggles it was still bright. I had to stop the treatment. Maybe different for others.
@@antheahamilton4268 My face mask is pretty mild. I don’t wear any goggles with it. I’m sure it has shined on my eyes as well. There are intensity levels which may be the reason. I keep my intensity on low. It has worked fine for me on low. I think pulsed light would also be too powerful for an eye area but maybe not. Seems an eye specialist like Huberman Lab should do a show on this.
@@tinasbestmidlife Your research should concern you: Risks of Red Light Therapy
A recent study in the US suggested that red light therapy with several available red light instruments could cause retinal damage. The researchers warned physicians to treat red light therapy with caution until safety standards can be confirmed.
Unregulated red light devices can be found online, which raises concerns among physicians in the U.S.

Hi there! I just came across your channel. You look absolutely beautiful! I’ve been wanting to try red light for so long! I have rosacea as well and I have tried so many different things to try and help it but nothing has helped with the redness!! I also suffer with severe chronic pain and the red light is so beneficial for the body! @Maysama is so good! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful rest of the week! 🥰
Hi Crissy! You are very sweet! Thank you!🥰
I will tell you that since adding the Maysama serum to my routine, my redness is so much better. My skin looks the best right after a red light treatment.
I am sorry you suffer from chronic pain. I know that red light is my go-to whenever I strain my back. I am always amazed how quickly it helps! I know there is a tanning salon near me that has a red light bed. I think that would be amazing!
I am glad you found me and you certainly brightened my day with your comment. Thank you!💕
@@tinasbestmidlifeThank you so much for your kind response! That’s awesome to hear that your tanning salon has a red light bed… I used to tan in beds years ago so I know with the way my back is now, I wouldn’t be able to get in out of the bed but I appreciate you letting me know about it though.

What mask did you use? And why did you stop using it? Your skin looks amazing!
Thank you! I have both the Current Body LED Face Mask and the Maysama PRANA LED mask. Both are great! I just prefer using a panel.
Hello 😊 You look great. That serum is so expensive and I question the validity of such a small study done by the company that makes it.
Hi Jade. Thank you! I can completely understand your hesitation. I do know for me personally that this serum has helped my redness from my rosacea immensely. For that reason alone, it is a repeat buy for me and I use it every time I treat with red light.
This might seem like a silly question. Do you think this would help firm up loose tummy skin and possibly help with the look of stretch marks?
Hi Kristin! I am not an expert and can only share with you my personal experience, but I think depending on how much laxity to the skin on your tummy, it might help a little. But maybe not enough to see big improvements. I have treated my stomach, but to be honest, I haven't been super consistent and I have never noticed too much change. I also have never tried to treat stretch marks, so I am not sure how much improvement you would get. Hopefully someone with more experience treating the stomach and stretch marks will chime in here and leave us some more feedback. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
I. Have used the maysama serum with my red light routine and I find it sticky to use. What I did was purchase rooibos tea and make a cup and after it cools down I apply it. It is more absorbent and does a better job.
Glad to hear this is working for you!
My neck is the one thing I can’t stand. Thanks for sharing your journey. BTW, the link you posted could “not be found”.
I can totally relate to the neck struggles!
Thank you for letting me know there was an issue with the link. I really appreciate it!
Do you have experience using full body panels? I'm a new viewer and just wondering if you have tried them. Thanks for the review!
Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the full body panels!
Hi Tina, your skin looks great and I can hardly see any wrinkles. I also have very dry skin in the cheek area. My neck starts to look saggy and wrinkley. I have been thinking of red light therapy, but I don't like those masks. But sitting in front a device seems to be more comfortable. I still don't know yet if red light therapy does more damage to my body as I want.
Hi there! Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I really appreciate it!💕
You look great! Have you noticed skin tightening on your face or does it only work to reduce wrinkles?
Hi there! Thank you!
Since near infra red lights really do help with collagen production, I think there is a bit of firming that happens, but I really think with red light therapy, the better your skin is when you start, the better it will stay that way when using red light. Does that make sense?? If you have a lot of laxity, it will probably help a little, but I wouldn't expect any dramatic improvements. That of course is just my opinion and maybe someone else has had really good firming results with red light.
I hope that helps a little.
Thanks so much for watching!
@@tinasbestmidlifethat makes sense. I'm excited to try it out. Thanks for the info!
I’m excited for you! I love red light and I hope you enjoy it too!
You look great.
Thank you! So kind of you to say. I really appreciate it!❤️
Tina's Best Midlife -- Wish I could do that too. I am 64, but $799 Canadian on Amazon is out of my ballpark.
I know these devices are pricey. My friend Tina. Her channel name is Tina Her Beautiful Journey is testing out a more affordable red light mask. She will be doing a video on it after a couple of months. Hopefully she likes it and maybe the could be an option?
@@tinasbestmidlife - Thanks for the heads up on that. Really would love it if you could remember to reply to me when that upload comes out.
@@Author_Alyssa_Taylor I just wrote myself a note so I hopefully I won't forget!
@@tinasbestmidlife -- Many thanks. Looking forward to hearing back. Stay well. :)
@@Author_Alyssa_Taylor You too!
Those are some really great results! I'm going to start saving for a red light device, I think. Might take a while, but the more aging I do, the more dramatic the results, right?😂
Thanks Tina! Who would have ever thought that sitting in front of a light could do such things! I just love it!
Thanks for watching my friend. Have a good one!
Hi Tina H. Amazon has a panel for $39.00. Red and infra red. It’s fantastic. It’s a less expensive but good alternative.
Lol, way back when I used to get a bunch of red laser light bracelets, remove the strap from the light beam side of each bracelet, bunch them together, and shine that a few centimeters away from my facial skin and my scalp, and anywhere else, for red light therapy before I found devices, lol! I had read about l.e.d. lights and NASA, and laboratory rats undergoing sight regeneration from red (laser) light therapy while under a controlled experiment, yada- yada, and I was "in"- I just thought panels were expensive back then. There are a lot of choices now, so that's a good thing.
@turnbacktime65 thank you. I just contacted a company and they are going to send me a mask to review on my channel! I'm so excited. But this is good info to have so I can share more affordable options with my viewers.
@@TinaHBeautifulJourney great job getting a device to try! I’ll stop by to see your results.
My favorite combo is red light therapy (pros call it LED) plus microcurrent or EMS on the neck. My clients and my own neck love that combo.
That does sound great Christine! What micro current or EMS do you like?
@@tinasbestmidlife
Hi Christine!👋
...I'm subscribed to your channel. 😊
Really enjoy your
content❤
What were you using the first 6 months when you saw the biggest difference?
I was using my Mito Pro 300 panel.
how did you do your neck? was it the maysama? i just ordered a mask one but really need to do my neck.
Hi Pam! Mainly I use panels, but it's really just a personal preference. A lot of the masks you can still place on your neck to treat. I have found the longer you own a mask the more flexible it becomes and it is easier to manipulate and treat your neck. I hope that helps!
For the rosacea try taking a garlic capsule with each meal.
Thanks for the tip!
Do red led lights work? I have this led light I but on my wall for aesthetik reasons and I can choose only red light ofcourse, I ask myself wrther its any good?
What kind of light do you have? Just a red light is not the same as red light therapy device. A red light bulb on a Christmas tree(for example) is not going to have the same effects as an LED panel or mask that contains red light in certain wavelengths.
Obviously, I believe red light panels and masks work because I have seen the benefits in my own skin. I hope this helps!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks I just started. Would that routine of 3-4 times a week work for me? And for how long with each session. Mine is a pretty high dose red lite panel the Red Rush 360. Appreciate you😊
Hi there! I think starting out, if you were consistent with 4 days a week, that would be a great start!
I wasn’t familiar with the Red Rush 360 and just googled it and it recommended 7-10 minute treatments. I would not go past 10 minute treatments, as research is showing that more is definitely not better when it comes to red light. Don’t forget to take some before pictures for yourself!
Thanks so much Tina 👍 - I believe you ! You look great and your neck looks great too 👍re red light and eyes you can get affordable scientifically designed red light therapy glasses made in the UK that slow the ageing of your eyes if you are over forty we have the details
Do you have an opinion on the difference of the red light device mentioned in this video and the Omni Lux face mask? I'm trying to decide which way to go!
Hi Amy! I have never used the Omni Lux mask, so I can't comment on that one in particular, but I have used the Current Body one which is very similar, but maybe slightly fewer bulbs. Now the Maysama panel has the addition of using pulsed red light, which the Omni Lux does not have. With the said, I know many people love their Omni Lux masks and get great results. Deciding between a panel and mask is really just a personal preference. Having used both and right now really enjoying the panel, but I have gotten great results with either.
I am not sure if you have seen it yet, but Maysama has come out with a brand new LED mask. It's called the PRANA mask. I have had it a few weeks and I am really loving it! It like the panel, has a pulsed light feature, and also there is a setting to use red and blue together which is great if you still get breakouts. And the thing I LOVE about the new Maysama Mask is that the mouth area doesn't have a lip opening, so you get the benefits of red light at that area, which I think is genius!
I think it would be a great option to check out. I can link my ShopMy store here and in the section of my favorite red light devices, you can find the PRANA mask linked, in case you want to check it out. I hope all this helps!!

Red light or better infa red light can only give your skin 20% more collegen but with rooibos serum it goes to 55%.
In my experience use infa red as the foundation because it goes to the deepest part of skin ie the foundation then once you've done that say 6 monhs then go red light n infa red ie one per day in turn.
Great tips! Thank you!
I'm prob gonna get flack for this but when I got my stimulus I bought something for myself -a Opatra face mask and the handheld machine with heat & vibration...ones Msrp at the time was over 600$ the other I think was 300(I had 30% & 50% off a single purchase from shoplc,so I ordered them separately saving a lot compared to reg prices on shoplc and Opatra) they have lifetime warranties so that's good.... unfortunately they were packed in storage so I haven't gotten to use them extensively until now as I just got em out about 2weeks ago...I think I am going to do this as well because at 41(and many,many terrible lifestyle decisions thruout the years) my face is a wreck!! I also got a "needle roller" (which some use for hair growth and scalp therapy) that I intend on using 1st,then applying some type of HA, retinol or something,then using the heated wand. I want to do this at least 3x a week..I will document and "keep receipts" on my progress and let y'all know what my results are. Best of luck ladies! Just because we gain wisdom as we age we do not need to wear that on our faces. I had some medical issues an in an effort to address the issue,the medicine actually led to the demise of the interior/roots of my teeth. Once treatment concluded I realized there was no way I could possibly afford a full mouth of implants. I opted for dentures rather than nothing but from start to finish (meds,pulling,after care, fittings etc.)we were still out almost 5k ..making matters worse they look so odd on my face I don't like to wear them.tje bottom teeth are the right width and style but they are extremely "tall" and the top is extremely narrow...this is after sending them back 3x-enough Abt that but they,well absence of them is the reason I am trying to fix my incredibly aged skin as having bad skin and no teeth is bad,if I can fix one maybe I will feel better and start to venture from my home as I did before..I really try to avoid public places if at all possible because of my looks. It has effected me so dramatically and taken such a toll on my self esteem everything else ha fallen apart too. And I know I am not the only one out here, regardless of reason, feels this way Abt themselves..I'm starting a journey!! This year is gonna'be great! I'm off to a slow start,but it's the quality of the "progress"-not the amount time it takes!! You only fail if you give up- because as long as you don't quit, there is always a chance things can change for the better.bit if you quit,that chance becomes non-existent,so then and only then can you say unequivocally,no doubt,100% that you have indeed failed!! Thank you whoever took the time to read this! Maybe once things, No, I mean "once I make things change" and have the "proof" of my journey I will have the confidence to post it in hope of helping someone else...Never forget when we feel alone that in reality, we all know someone who has put faith in us and our abilities. It is the same person that never leaves our side,will never abandon us. Someone who gives us strength when we are weak,has forgiven us for the worst that we have done, someone who loves us unconditionally...That person is our Lord and Savior,Jesus/Yesuha!! And with him beside me,I know I can accomplish my goals,break the cycle of addiction, self abuse, hate, sloth, selfishness, laziness and other negative choices/paths I have taken-following in the very same steps that so many in my family before me walked. I will overcome the perpetual state of poverty so many in my family have experienced and it will stop with me. My young children will see that I am strong and thru me they will have the ambition to continue on the ne road I have paved for them to follow!
Did you use only red light or both red light and NIR?
Hi! I always use both because I don't seem to have an issue with hyperpigmentation when using NIR.
I hope that helps!
When using your Mito light on your face did you use red and near infrared? Thanks
Hi Sheila! I like to use both red and near infra red when I treat. I have heard from many others that they can't use near infrared as it makes their hyperpigmentation worse. I don't have that problem, but if you do, just something to consider.
I hope this helps!
@@tinasbestmidlife Thanl you so much❤️
@@sheliadennis9004 you're very welcome!
You look fantastic at 56!
You are so sweet Amanda. Thank you!!❤️
I use my red light panel without goggles. I normally lie down on my mat that pluses so I don’t get direct light to my eyes
Oh! That sounds neat!!
@@tinasbestmidlife I can tell the difference when I go without using it. Melatonin producing declines and restless sleep ensues. It helps keep inflammation in check and lymphatic clear. I do put the panel (no pluses but includes nir with red light) in front of my face and upper body. I haven’t experienced any adverse side effects. No clinical studies I have seen shows any. I have used all five devices for years without problems (Full body mat, half body panel, face with neck mask, and pods I attach for specific body parts therapy)., I am over 50, so skin care is important in keeping the biggest protective barrier in great health.
Hi Tina - I'm a bit confused about which device you are using for face, neck?
Under this video you say you are using Current Body's mask. (which I doubt is a pulsing
light -?) ...Or IS it?
You also show footage in the video while using a pulsing panel.
I have Omniluxe face, neck, hand devices.
Been using for about 1.5 years. These are continuous stream light - no pulsing. Protocol is 10min treatments 4-6 days/wk.
I do think these have helped firm up my skin. Though never took photo's. I think I was starting to get those turkey neck bands (I'm in my 70's) but it does seem,to me, that my neck is alot firmer now than before I started. It just does not seem that loose in that area, as I recall it being, prior to using Omniluxe.
I am also using Curelogy's Retin-A @ 05% on face & neck for about 2 yrs now. So, it may be the combo of both these modalities that have given me firmer skin.
It has come to my attn (as you have indicated in this video) that, studies have shown, pulsing redlight is more effective than continuous stream.
My iRestore Hair Growth helmet gives a pulsing red light. The protocol is 30min every other day with that device.
I am very happy with the iRestore helmet. (Using for over a year now.) Not only is my hair thicker/healthier, but seems to have lightened my hair(?)...or restored it to it's original color somehow? 🤷
My hair was sort of paperbag blonde/brown mixed with some grey around the temples when I began using iRestore - now it's the color it was when I was a kid - white blonde - but with some darker undertones mixed in. In other words- its not solid white blonde. (whIch would look a bit freaky, imo)😅
Anyhow, I ❤ it! And feel no need to have blonde highlights put in. 😊
But, to reiterate my main inquiry with you, Tina - does your Current Body mask have a pulsating light?
Hi Barbara! First off, how interesting the I-Restore changed your hair color back to the same color you had a child. That is fascinating to me!!
I am sorry if there was confusion in my video. I mentioned in the video that I got really great results around my eyes using the Current Body mask, but no,. That mask is continuous LED. I am currently using the Maysama Panel which does offer both continuous and pulsed light. As you could see from my photos, I am maintaining my results, but there hasn't been any major improvements. Which isn't surprising because I have been using red light for over 3 years now and understandably it can only do so much. Honestly, I think you should stick with what you are already doing with red light. Keep using your Omnilux and keep being consistent. That's just my two cents.
I hope that answers your question. Thank you very much for watching and sharing your experience . I appreciate it!
Yea but that panel is crazy expensive and you got it free…that makes me skeptical
Hi Stephen. This video is not about the panel. It is really about my red light routine and how I am maintaining my results. I shared the device I am currently using because my subscribers ask me. So yes, I am enjoying the gifted panel, but as I mentioned in the video, I got the most benefits from red light during my first 6 months of use on a Mito panel I purchased. I think there are so many great red light devices out there and I think if you research and find ones that have those optimal studied wavelengths, you can get some great results.
thank you
You are very welcome and thank YOU for watching. I really appreciate it!
Hello tina lovely vlog interesting skincare routine ❤ xx
Thank you Deborah. I really appreciate it!💕
Do you get any Botox or fillers as well or is this just from the red light?
Hi! I’ve never gotten any Botox or fillers, but I do use other devices, microcurrent, radio frequency and NIRA around my eyes. I hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing,
What is the name of this particular red light?
Your face looks great.
Thank you!
The light in the video is the Maysama LED panel.
Thanks so much for watching and leaving me such a nice comment. I really appreciate it.
Hope you have a great day!
I only use exercise to get rid of neck wrinkles 😃👌😂👏 I am 64 & wrinkles free as I was +wrinkled with 50!
Nicely explained, thank you. Was it the _Current Body_ you were using in the first three years when you noticed an improvement? Do you also use Tretinoin?
May I suggest the it might be a good idea to include a flashing light warning for anyone who may have epilepsy.
Hi there. I will go ahead and pin a comment warning about the flashing. So sorry if this affected you.
I do use trentinoin and my first red light device was the Mito 300 panel. Hope this helps.
@@tinasbestmidlife Thank you, that's very helpful ❤
please tell how much it is
no harm to your eyes with red and infrared light. Avoid UV light of course.
Thank you for sharing this!
What made you switch from the Current Body mask to the Maysama panel? Thanks
Hi! I switched from using the Current Body mask to the Maysama panel because I really wanted to try the pulsed light feature on the Maysama panel. There is some research showing how pulsed red light can result in better efficacy of water based skincare products that are applied before a treatment. I also liked that with this panel I can treat with the regular red and near infra red light settings(NOT the pulsed) without the goggles and treat my eye lid skin. I am really enjoying the panel, but still think the Current Body mask is a great LED device as well. Hope that answers your question.
Hi want to ask whether you used only LED mask for face or the whole face , neck and décolleté. Also is the led mask is safe to use with fillers
Hi there!
With this panel and the distance I sit away from it, I am able to treat my face and neck at the same time. As far as the safety of LED with fillers, I really don't know. I have never had fillers before, so it's never something I have researched. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
Better red light penetration when you have a clean face. No moisturizers or sunblocks. So to maximize the full benefits make sure you clean your face and do not wear anything on your face like moisturizers. Bet you will get even better results than what you have gotten these past 3 years.
I agree I never treat with heavy moisturizers or sunscreen on. I do have to say though, that I will always use the Green Rooibos pressed serum for my treatments, because it has made the biggest difference in the redness of my face!
Wow, so cool and thank you for sharing! I would love to purchase a good quality infrared panel - with minimal EMF emissions. If anyone has good recommendations, let me know!! I believe red light and infrared both achieve similar improved skin results
Thank you Jennifer!
anyone know what the long term safety is of using led red light ? thank you
I can’t do their serum because I can’t tolerate niacinamide. Their website said that good results DEPEND on using this serum with the panel… should I bother?
Hi there!
I personally have seen the benefits in my skin when I added the serum, but I also used red light for over a year without using any kind of serum and still had really good results! I really don’t think you can go wrong with red light on its own. That’s just my two cents, but I hope it was helpful.
@@tinasbestmidlife ok thank you for the reply! You look fantastic!
@@andree7303 You are very kind!🥰 thank you!
What if I use the LED without the serum?
You can still get great results!
Is it necessary to put something on your skin prior to the treatmen.
You don't have to put anything on for treatments. I just like using the Maysama serum because it really helps my redness and there was also a small study done with the Maysama serum and Mito Red light. It showed that when using the serum prior to red light treatments, you get even better results as compared to just red light alone. Hope that helps!
