Pain relief and a beauty treatment? Well call me Trudy, I'm about to start a chain!
Alright - simply put:<br />This is meant for salon purposes, thus the goofy alien shape - it's meant for hair.<br /><br />I use it to roast myself like a turkey for both my Ehlers-Danlos (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and straight up vanity because I've been hip to red light for skin for a long time.<br /><br />EDS is a connective tissue disorder that is incredibly painful most days, along with a lot of fatigue....it can make life very hard to cope with, let alone enjoy.<br /><br />MCAS is a comorbidity and it too sucks - it basically means that if I'm unwell or stressed that my body starts producing tons of histamine....causing welts, ITCHING and utter fatigue (and obviously my EDS and Autism make that a little hard not to be, and coupling that with finding I had all of these during LockDownLosAngeles 2020 and 2021? Tough moments.)<br /><br />Infrared and near infrared (this has both - another reason I purchased) help ALL of the these things and HAVE done. Musts to know:<br /><br />Naked skin....but drink antioxidants and don't be afraid to put appropriate antioxidants on your face when you are facing the lights.<br /><br />Use eye protection or you can give yourself anything from headaches to eye conditions.<br /><br />Appropriate settings and distances will make a lot of difference....further away (1'-3') with less light on your face (enough to make you feel the same warmth as sitting in front of a window but NOT feeling at all sweaty), but a little brighter and closer (6"-12") on pain relief areas.<br /><br />My back pain has gotten so much better from using this 20 min every day...and my sciatica is gone.<br /><br />I'm 37 but in the beginning of 2021 we were considering getting me a wheel chair because I couldn't even walk upright, my EDS was wrecking my already thrashed scoliosis....1 month later (and a cheap massage gun for $15 and properly supportive bed pillows....and lots of prayer), I'm darn near healed. I highly suggest these.
