Red light therapy

Hello all. I'm new to mfp and planet fitness. I was wondering if anyone has used the red light therapy at PF? Uses? Any results? Just curious.

    I use it... I haven't started noticing any changes yet... However, it's only been two weeks since I started using it (total of 6xs)... it's recommended to use 2-3 times a week... I'll let you know if I see any changes...
  • I used it for the first time yesterday and the little vibrating floor freaked me out a little. I have some psoriasis on my hands so I'm hoping it will help that. Please keep me posted on your results.

    I am a person who finds humor in little things... I started laughing when the floor started vibrating... I started off on level 1 (relaxation) for the first two days. Then I moved up to level 2 (beginners) for another two days. I am currently using level 3 (muscle toning) right now... Going to try level 4 (advanced muscle toning) next time... I'll let you know how that goes... I definitely suggest working your way up the levels though... since the vibrating gets really intense even on level 3 for a bit. I read that red light can help with stretch marks... haven't seen a difference, but we'll see :smile: .... At least it's not UV.... Also, a disclaimer: red light therapy and tanning beds cannot be used within 24 hours of each other... I'll keep you posted with my results if you keep me posted with yours :flowerforyou:

    You have to wait 90 days for results to become noticeable. I just started. At least it relaxes me and improves my mood. I am planning to do it daily and will see how it goes. Do any of you guys use the spray they sell?

    no I don't use the spray... What is it called? Is it specifically for Red Light?

    The one thing I do after I finish with Red Light Therapy is to apply skin tightening lotion.

    I use the red light therapy! Let me tell you this since you have psoriasis... USE IT! my mild psoriasis rashes were completely gone by the 5th time I used the machine. I had a spot on my calf for months and another rash on my arm....not anymore. I was really surprised.

    I also use the red light spray. I order it off amazon because you can get a bottle for $13 w shipping and I think at PF they charge $20. Not sure if the spray is doing anything, but I have noticed my face appears smoother and softer, my stretch marks are slowly shrinking and the vibration floor has helped tone my legs.
