Red Light Safety, Eye Protection, and When to Pause
Use red light equipment exactly as directed, including the recommended eye protection, session limits, distance, and skin-contact instructions. Pause if the device is damaged, becomes unusually hot, or causes an unexpected reaction. People with light-sensitive conditions, eye conditions, or medications that increase light sensitivity should ask a qualified healthcare professional before starting an at-home routine.
01
Follow the device-specific instructions
Eye-protection guidance is not identical for every device. If the instructions specify protective goggles or eyewear, use the recommended protection every session rather than substituting ordinary sunglasses.
Stay within the product guidance for duration, settings, distance, and contact. More time or higher output should not be assumed to create a better result.
02
Check conditions and medications
Some skin, eye, or inherited conditions can increase sensitivity to visible light. Medications and treatments can also change light sensitivity. A clinician who knows your condition and medication list is the right person to assess that risk.
This precaution does not mean every photosensitizing medication interacts with every red light protocol. It means a consumer product page should not make an individualized clearance decision.
03
Know when to stop
Stop using equipment that has damaged cables, exposed components, unusual odors, uncontrolled heat, liquid exposure, or unreliable controls. Stop the session if you experience an unexpected skin or eye reaction and seek appropriate advice.
For product faults, keep the Amazon order information and contact rePretty support with the model, a description, photos, and video when useful. Amazon return rules govern the platform purchase window.
