LED Cap: Is it safe? What you need to know before use
Partager
Before incorporating a new device into your routine, it's normal to have questions about its safety. Here are the answers to the most common questions.
Is the light used dangerous for the eyes or skin?
Hair LED caps use wavelengths from the visible spectrum (red/near infrared), which are different from the UV rays responsible for skin damage. However, it is recommended to avoid looking directly at the diodes.
Can it be used every day?
Follow the duration and frequency indicated in the manufacturer's instructions. Excessive use beyond recommendations does not necessarily accelerate the effects and is not advisable.
Are there any contraindications?
As with any light-emitting device, a healthcare professional's advice is recommended as a precaution in case of a scalp skin condition, ongoing photosensitizing treatment, or pregnancy.
What should I do if I experience discomfort?
A slight warming sensation may appear during a session. In case of unusual discomfort, redness, or irritation, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
Is the device compatible with all hair types?
Very thick or very long hair can reduce the penetration of light to the scalp. It is advisable to separate the hair well or use the device on detangled hair for optimal diffusion.
