Does the time of day matter for your red light therapy session?
You’ve decided to try red/infrared light therapy at our clinic, and now you’re wondering whether it’s better to schedule your session in the morning or the afternoon.
The choice might feel significant, but the truth is, it largely depends on your personal needs and routine.
Red/infrared LED light therapy offers a range of benefits, and understanding how it fits into your day can help you make the most of it. Here’s what you need to know to decide.
The benefits of red/infrared light therapy
When you step into our clinic for a session, you’re signing up for more than just a skincare boost. LED light therapy works wonders for rejuvenating your skin, easing you into a state of calm, and even supporting your body’s healing processes.
Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, muscle soreness, or simply need a moment to unwind, this treatment delivers.
Clients often leave feeling refreshed, with their skin looking brighter and their tension noticeably reduced. It’s a versatile option that tackles multiple concerns at once.
Infrared/red light therapy treatment timing and results: no difference
You might wonder if the time of day changes how effective your session will be. The good news is, it doesn’t.
Whether you come in first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon, the results remain consistent. The light penetrates your skin and tissues the same way, stimulating repair and relaxation regardless of the hour.
So, if you’re hoping for glowing skin or faster recovery from yesterday’s workout, you’ll get those benefits whenever you choose to show up.
Afternoon LED therapy for relaxation
For most people, LED therapy feels deeply soothing. The gentle warmth and calm environment can melt away the day’s stress, leaving you in a peaceful state.
If you’re someone who likes to wind down in the afternoon, this might be the perfect time for you. Booking a session later in the day could help you transition from work or other demands into a more restful evening. It’s a practical choice if relaxation is your main goal.
Morning LED treatments for a calm start
On the other hand, if your mornings feel rushed or stressful, a session could set a different tone for your day.
If you’re facing a packed schedule or just need a moment of peace before diving in, the relaxation from LED light therapy can ground you.
Clients who choose morning visits often say it helps them feel more focused and less frazzled as they go about their tasks. It’s a way to prioritise yourself early on.
Making it work for you
Ultimately, there’s no strict rule here. The best time is the one that fits your life and lets you come back regularly. Frequent sessions are key to seeing your skin improve, your mind settle, and your body recover from injuries or exercise. Whether it’s morning or afternoon, the priority is consistency. Pick a slot that feels right, and let the therapy do its job.
