Let there be collagen
So, I bought one of these. Yes, it was expensive. Shut up.
This is all part of weasel’s ongoing crusade to not look so damn much like her father.
I asked my buddy Grok what RLT will do and he do say:
Skin Health: It’s said to boost collagen production, which could reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging. Some use it for acne, claiming it lowers inflammation and speeds up healing of blemishes or scars.
Pain Relief: People report it helps with muscle soreness, joint pain, and conditions like arthritis by reducing inflammation and improving circulation.
Wound Healing: There’s talk it accelerates tissue repair, making it useful for cuts, burns, or post-surgery recovery.
Hair Growth: It’s marketed for stimulating hair follicles, potentially helping with thinning hair or conditions like alopecia.
Mood and Energy: Some say it lifts mood, fights fatigue, or even eases symptoms of seasonal affective disorder by mimicking natural light exposure.
Muscle Recovery: Athletes often tout it for faster recovery after workouts, supposedly by enhancing mitochondrial function in cells.
Sleep Improvement: Near-infrared light might influence melatonin production, helping regulate sleep cycles.
This thing is big – much bigger than I could see in the picture. And heavy. And BRIGHT.
First session was yesterday. I did 20 minutes and afterwards felt like I’d had a touch too much sun on my face. You know the feeling. So today I did ten minutes and it was fine.
An hour later, I had my lunch and took my supplements (yes, I’m one of THOSE people) and immediately afterwards had my very first niacin flush. Been taking niacin for years and never knew what they were talking about.
That had to be what it was. It was terrifying (though, I gather, completely harmless). Do you get them?
I’ll let you know about my gadget.
