What to wear in red light therapy bed​?

3Views

When using a red light therapy bed, comfort and maximizing skin exposure to the light are key. Here’s what to wear (or not wear) for the best results:

Recommended Clothing Options:

  1. Minimal Clothing (Best for Full Benefits)
    • Nude or Underwear Only – Red light penetrates skin best when there’s no fabric blocking it. Many people wear just their underwear or go nude (if in a private setting).
    • Bikini/Swimsuit – If you prefer coverage, a minimal bikini or tight-fitting swimwear works.
  2. Lightweight, Tight-Fitting Fabric (If Modesty is Preferred)
    • White or Light-Colored Clothing – Red light can partially penetrate thin, white fabrics.
    • Spandex/Lycra Shorts & Sports Bra – Tight, stretchy fabrics allow some light penetration.

What to Avoid:

  • Thick or Dark Clothing – Blocks red/NIR light, reducing effectiveness.
  • Loose or Baggy Clothes – Creates shadows and reduces exposure.

Additional Tips:

  • Remove Jewelry & Makeup – Metals and cosmetics can reflect light.
  • Protect Eyes – Wear protective goggles if the bed emits bright light.
  • Check Facility Rules – Some clinics may have dress code policies.

For Targeted Areas:

  • If treating a specific area (e.g., face, knees), expose just that part while covering the rest.
