So, I’ve always been the guy who rolls his eyes at anything that sounds too “wellness‑y.” If it can’t be fixed with ibuprofen, duct tape, or ignoring it, I usually assume it’s nonsense.

But yesterday my physical therapist offered me a free session of Red Light Therapy. And since I’ve been on Tirzepatide for a few months and my face has recently decided to age in dog years thanks to rapid weight loss, I figured… why not. Worst case, I glow in the dark afterward.

First surprise: that light is BRIGHT. I was expecting something gentle and spa‑like. Instead, I stepped into what looked like a cross between a tanning booth and the engine room of the Starship Enterprise. (I kinda liked it - what next Geordi )

Second surprise: you do this naked. So there I was, a man in my 50s, standing in a tiny closet-sized chamber, bathed in red light like a confused rotisserie chicken. At one point I caught myself doing a little shuffle (think the movie FAME really), and I thought, “If anyone walks in right now, I’m never recovering socially.”

But honestly? It was kind of fun. Silly, but fun. I felt like I was starring in a low-budget sci-fi movie where the aliens are trying to rejuvenate me before sending me back to Earth.

Will it help with the wrinkles? Who knows. But at least now I can say I’ve tried it, and I didn’t burst into flames or gain superpowers . . .yet, so I’m counting it as a win. And she said I can come back anytime for free. Apparently its not getting a lot of use right now.

Just thought I’d share my first adventure into the world of glowing wellness gadgets. If nothing else, maybe someone gets a laugh out of imagining me doing the Naked Red Light Shuffle in a closet.
 
Free red light therapy? Lucky guy! I'm a believer, but I love your humor -- let us know if you experience benefits, even if it's only on the dance floor 😉

My RLT source turned me onto Tirz at the local medspa, I in turn did the research and turned her onto Telehealth Tirz, which we both jumped into with both feet, then I took us the step further into the rest of the peptide world. And NOW she is opening her own shop with that original medspa person for those gigantic margins. And this has all been in the last six months! So the RLT is the least of it! 🙂

I hope you're getting a cut 😉

My wife bought a small cheap red light panel which I had been looking into aftet hearing a few things about IR/NIR. I figured if it doesn’t do anything whats the harm. So I started pointing it at myself when I did my normal bathroom time, toilet and shower. It seems time efficient to incorporate it that way, gots to poop and shower anyway.

Honestly I couldn’t objectively point to any real improvement. Maybe better sleep because of the timing, using it in the evening. Though I stop eating before 7pm and I use cjc1295/ipamorelin before bed along with some magnesium glycinate. So sleeping has been something I am pretty good at for a while.

I thought I was losing my edge with my eyesight but that seemed to have stopped/reversed back to 20/20 or 20/15.

I haven’t had an eye exam in a long time so I don’t have any data to reference. I also changed a few other things over the last year that should have contributed to overall health.

I keep using it because its not like it really adds any additional time to my normal day.
 
I found a sauna that has a red light panel.

Best part?

Its a private sauna and I can do it naked.

Thats a good sweat.
 
I bought a red light therapy mask that also does blue and yellow light. I've been using it consistently for several months. I'm young and not wrinkly so can't speak to it helping that, but it did seem to improve my facial flushes from auto immune conditions. I will say the blue light therapy is LEGIT and I love it. It helps acne and it clearly works for me if I do it every night. I've also used the mask on my formerly broken elbow and torn ligament knee but can't say if it helped. Bpc157 helped those things the most.
 
I have a red light device that I believe is better than anything else south of 100k but you have to hold it up directly to treatment areas.

Ironforge

Experience focused, high-output red and near-infrared light designed for targeted use in modern recovery and wellness routines.
