Studies that back up this protocol
Goal: Stimulate collagen and rejuvenate skin under the eyes (great results)
Protocol
🚨Day 1: Red light therapy clinical grade: 8/10 min (>20min on the face can desensitize cells, biphasic dose response).
💉Day 2: Home microneedling session with stamp. Check the ideal length guide. 🧴Day 3: Rest day, focus on hydration and skin barrier repair (hyaluronic acid/peptides/ Avoid under eye retinoids)
Day 4: Rest day.
Day 5: Red light therapy. I use clinical panels or red light masks.
Day 6: Depending on results, repeat microneedling, hydrate, or rest.
REPEAT 1 week / 1 week off
🫖 Another effective tip is to apply red light therapy after using green tea cotton patches. ↓ ↓
NOTE ⚠️ Do not use red light therapy directly after microneedling to avoid overstimulating freshly treated skin.
I also use a microcurrent therapy device, but I limit it to two or three times per week, as it is still a relatively new technology and the evidence is continuing to develop.
