Why do you use protective glasses during red light therapy?
Why does it come with safety glasses?
Many people are surprised because red light therapy does not use UV radiation and does not work in the same way as, for example, tanning beds. At the same time, modern red light panels deliver a very high light intensity, especially at short distances.
That's why many manufacturers ship with safety glasses as standard.
Is red light therapy the same as UV light?
No.
It is important to distinguish between red light therapy and UV radiation.
Red light therapy typically uses wavelengths around 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light. These wavelengths are different from UV radiation and are therefore used in a completely different way.
It is also a reason why many people confuse different types of light therapy, even though the technology works in different ways.
Why can light be perceived as bright?
Many modern red light panels are designed to deliver high light intensity at relatively short distances.
If you sit or stand 15–30 cm from the panel and look directly into the LED lights, the light can be perceived as very bright, just like if you were to look directly into a powerful work lamp or spotlight.
This is why many users prefer to wear protective glasses during treatment, especially during longer sessions or when the face is being treated.
Do I have to wear safety glasses?
It depends on the situation.
If the panel is used close to the face, many people choose to use the glasses that come with the product. If the panel is used for larger areas further away from the face, some users find that they do not need them.
The most important thing is to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and to avoid looking directly into the LED lights for extended periods of time.
That's why Infracenter sends glasses
All models in the PRO MAX series are delivered with light protection.
The reason is simple: We want the user to be able to customize their experience according to their own preferences and uses.
Many people appreciate having the option to use glasses when the panel is used close to the face or during longer treatments.
Can I use regular sunglasses?
Regular sunglasses are not designed specifically for red light therapy.
Therefore, we recommend using the glasses that come with the panel or other products intended for the purpose.
Summary
Protective glasses are often included with modern red light panels because the light can be perceived as very bright at short distances.
It's not about UV radiation, it's about comfort and user experience. Many users therefore choose to wear glasses when the panel is used close to the face or during longer treatments.
