Hi everyone - I was hoping for some advice if anyone has a second to reply. I feel I’m very slow on being aware of these - but to those that have them at home - do they actually work? If anyone has used them I would love to hear your thoughts. I want it to help improve my acne and acne scars so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also is there a particular brand you recommend? And last question, can I use them alongside tretinoin? Thanks for the help submitted by /u/West_Explanation_509 to r/45PlusSkincare [link] [comments]

I was in that exact spot a few months ago. I kept seeing posts about red light therapy and got curious, but I didn’t want to drop a few hundred dollars right away. So I bought one of those cheaper “entry level” masks online just to try it out. After using it for about a month I noticed two things: First, the light distribution looked uneven. Some areas felt much brighter than others. Second, my skin honestly didn’t change at all. No improvement in tone or texture. It basically felt like I was sitting there with a glowing plastic mask for nothing. A friend of mine who is into skincare convinced me to try a better quality device, so I compared Ulike, Dr. Dennis Gross, and CurrentBody, and finally bought a slightly more expensive mask. The biggest difference for me was comfort and consistency. The light coverage felt much more even and the sessions were easy to stick to. What's more, my skin looked a bit more rested and slightly brighter, especially in the morning. Nothing dramatic, but definitely more than what I got from the cheap mask. I don't want to mention the brand I bought here because I don't want to be seen as an ad. Also, I haven't used it for very long yet, and want to see the long-term effects. So if anyone is thinking about trying red light therapy, my takeaway is this: buying the absolute cheapest mask might end up wasting more time than money. If the light output or coverage isn’t good, you might not see anything at all submitted by /u/Forever_6080 to r/redlighttherapy [link] [comments]

I got this mask as a Christmas present. I have only missed 5 days cumulatively and no more than one day in a row. I use multiple of the treatments, green red and yellow light therapy, and I see a difference for sure!!!! submitted by /u/k2d3 to r/redlighttherapy [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I'm ready to take the plunge and finally invest in an at-home LED device. I've been researching for weeks, but there are so many options: flexible masks, rigid masks, full panels... However, I've ruled out panels for flexibility. So I'd love some advice from those of you who already own one. I wonder what was the most important factor for you? Was it comfort, specific wavelengths, power, price, or something else entirely? If there are specific brands you genuirly love, please recommend! I see names like Ulike, Omnilux, CurrentBody, and I'm really curious to know why you chose yours over others. I want to make sure I get something that's actually worth the money. Appreciate any insight you can share. submitted by /u/Sushantrana03 to r/redlighttherapy [link] [comments]

NOTE: March 2026 Update at the end of the post. Hi all! Long-time Redditor, but using a burner account for privacy. I've got a story to tell about my journey to getting stem cell treatment in Thailand. I sincerely hope that it's helpful for you because I've read about the many different injuries on this sub and the hope that stem cells might be part of the treatment and recovery process. It's a long post, though, so feel free to use the section breaks or just skip to the TL;DR at the end. Thanks for reading! Some Background I am a 44-year-old Caucasian male, a father of three young girls, husband to a beautiful wife, and an athlete whose body is now starting to fail. I have played sports since I can ever remember. I would say that it is a defining feature of who I am. I love all sports and I’m willing to try just about any of them. Maybe not jai alai; that looks crazy. I’m a good athlete and serviceable on the pitch or court. My happy place, though, is being able to run - popping in my AirPods and a podcast or music and going for a 2-mile run in the morning, when nothing else matters except finding flow, breathing in the air, pushing your body a little bit before the day has even started. In fact, my idea of heaven, if such a thing exists, is a giant open green field, and I can just run and run and run. The Injury If you’ve played sports most of your life or you’re an active person who likes to do active things that requires your joints or any other part of your body that has failed, then you know that it is an extremely difficult and depressive situation. There was a moment that I distinctly remember: I’d just turned 43 in October 2024, and I had just had one of the best futsal games I can ever remember. I think I scored about 10 goals. Every single shot was a rocket that found the back of the net. I remember coming home that evening after the match and thinking “man, that was easily my best game, an all-timer! If that’s how I go out, then that’s a good one to go out on,” laughing to myself at the thought. Little did I know how prescient that thought was, because a couple months later in December, it was all taken away. I’ve had bumps and bruises and nicks and strained muscles and pulled ligaments before, but my swollen knee was not getting any better after a few weeks of some discomfort and continued pain. We are Americans living and working in South Asia, and I went to a health provider that we have access to for a consultation. After some discussion, some physical therapy, some foam rolling and muscle strengthening with not much result, I decided on an MRI. The MRI showed that I had a degenerative medial meniscus tear as well as degraded cartilage in my knee. I decided to up the ante and go to Bangkok where the healthcare was better. I went to Bumrungrad hospital and spoke with the orthopedic surgeon there. He confirmed that yes, in fact, I had a degenerative tear and that surgery could be an option. However, I should try PRP therapy first and try to rehab. This was in February 2025. I will also note that my wife and I work in international development. If you know anything about international development in February 2025, you know that the incoming American administration at that time was no friend to this field of work. Both my wife and I were on the cusp of losing our jobs and as an American that also meant losing our health insurance. We were up against the clock in deciding whether or not I should go through with surgery. I got the PRP and tried rehabbing for two months, twice a week, with stretching and muscle strengthening on my own, too. I was hopeful that the PRP shot would show signs of working and provide some relief. Unfortunately, neither of those things panned out, and I decided to move forward with surgery after consulting with the lead physiotherapist and my health provider at my work. Probably quick on the trigger for surgery, but we were staring at job loss and paying tens of thousands in the U.S. out of pocket or waiting on surgery while looking for another job compounded by the uncertainty of no health insurance was not a realistic option. In late April 2025, I got a partial meniscectomy and cartilage debridement. Over the next six months, I rehabbed and strengthened my knee. I worked with the physios to increase range of motion, strengthen my vastus medialis oblique muscle or VMO, as well as my glutes, hamstrings, calves and everything else that I was told would help prevent my meniscus from getting worse. This probably sounds familiar if you are staring at a possible surgery or rehabbing from one for a knee injury. I’d gotten to the point where I was participating in my new obsession – Pickleball - twice a week, while still doing my rehab. However, at 44 and coming out of a surgery, I was doing too much. In my defense, I was trying to listen to my body and did not think that I was pushing my body beyond its limitations. I was pushing it too hard, unfortunately. In late November 2025, after a Pickleball session, I must have tweaked something in my knee because I started to feel renewed pain on the medial side. Again, I thought that I could rehab it, slow down activity and see that it would improve. It did improve slightly, but then in early December on a trip back to the States, I played Pickleball with my 75-year-old mother and that proved to be too much. After just 20 minutes, I realized something was wrong in my knee again and I shut down all activity. It was so painful that I could not even walk around the block. I tried going on a short walk with my mom’s little long-haired Dachshund and pain shot through my leg and straight to the medial side of my knee with every step. I was crushed and frustrated yet again. During my time back in the U.S., I had set up a couple of visits to two different physicians to diagnose my knee. I was trying to get as many opinions on it as I could. Both said that without a better MRI it was difficult to know what exactly the situation was. The MRI that I had gotten previously was a 1.5 Tesla and they recommended a 3.0. Back I went to Thailand in late January to get this better MRI at Bumrungrad. I walked into the hospital ready to talk with the orthopedic surgeon (the same one who had done my April 2025 surgery) about how I was just experiencing a little irritation, that this was nothing a little time and rehab couldn’t fix. “How’s it going?” I asked smiling, as I walked into his office. “I’m doing much better than you - you have another tear in your meniscus.” Enter the Stem Cell Option An interesting thing happened when I was talking with the American physicians. They both, independently, said that surgery was not a first line of defense. They said a conservative approach was preferred and both mentioned that stem cells could be an option for me. I had to read between the lines a bit because stem cell therapy is not really an approved or smiled upon therapy in the United States. It’s classified as “investigative” and insurance companies won’t pay for it. I’m sure there are exceptions, but our insurance brochure is clear on their position. I would be out of pocket. I was intrigued, still, at the prospect because both physicians said that it could be an option. I’d have to do my own research though. So I did. I am not an expert in stem cell therapy, far from it. But I know how to use my resources, and I tried to research the therapy as much as I could. I found out that in Thailand, stem cells are available and at a reasonable cost compared to much of the other world. I was skeptical about using Mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord because relative to other therapies like PRP and Hyaluronic Acid, it’s not as well known. There aren’t that many peer reviewed studies on it, but the ones that exist have shown some promise. What really sold me on the therapy was actually looking at the Stem Cell Institute of Panama’s website. I watched all the testimonial videos and learned that George Kittle from the San Francisco 49ers, David Bakhtiari from the Green Bay Packers, as well as other professional athletes have used stem cell therapy to rehabilitate their own injuries. I started my research using Google, this subreddit, BookiMed, and then down the rabbit hole I went. I came across five that looked promising. Here’s a spreadsheet I used so you can see which criteria I was looking at. What I appreciated about the clinics that I interacted with in Thailand is that they were professional and serious about their work. I never really got the sense that they were trying to scam me, although I suppose that possibility always exists on some level. Most of them were good communicators via WhatsApp and asked for medical reports and other information. I set up appointments with three of them during the time that I was getting my MRI in late January. In short, I started to feel more confident about stem cells as a viable option. Back to Bumrungrad Apparently, the pain that I had been experiencing on the medial side of my knee was, in fact, a new tear, an oblique horizontal tear to be precise. The surgeon, however, was very quick to jump to surgery and promised that by getting a second surgery, I would be able to run again. Exactly what I wanted to hear, and yet…I was a bit dubious. I think surgeons in general have a God complex and think that they alone can fix any injury. Lo’ without their intervention, you would not be able to return to the things that you love, meek one. Now that might be true in some instances, but I could still bend my knee easily. I did not have locking, and I could walk upwards of two miles before real pain set in. These are all things that if I couldn’t do them, then that would indicate surgery was needed. What I decided I needed was some additional opinions – from other surgeons. I sent my new MRI results to the physicians that I worked with in the U.S. They confirmed their opinion from December that I did not need surgery. They recommended a conservative approach and to try rehab, leg strengthening, and other interventions even with a renewed tear in my knee. Curiously enough, if I had access to stem cells, they both said this could be an option for me. They were also very honest with me and said that I would need to adjust my expectations about what the future of sports and athletics would mean for me. If I wanted to return to running and playing soccer, frisbee, basketball and all these different things, then pain would be my guide. If it was too painful to do any of those things, it is still likely that a surgical intervention would get me back to that place. However, they noted that surgery would always be an option, and that a conservative approach should be the first option. I knew I didn’t want to do surgery again. I was willing to put in the work with rehab. But I also wanted a “boost” in my recovery with stem cells. So that is what clinched it for me. My decision matrix was fairly straightforward. The American doctors I consulted all recommended a conservative approach and, independently, both mentioned stem cells as a viable option. At the same time, my own research showed that professional athletes were using the renowned Stem Cell Institute to regain elite-level athletic function. If that treatment was being pursued to return athletes to peak performance, surely a clinic in Thailand offering the same technology could help a 44-year-old man with more modest goals: namely playing pickleball with my wife and friends with the outside possibility of running again… Maybe this would work for me. The Clinic The clinic I selected is called EDNA Wellness. Of all the various clinics that I looked at in Thailand, on every metric I had in my mind and on paper, EDNA Wellness shined above all the rest. I will say that one of the main advantages that EDNA had was their ability to communicate clearly and effectively over the WhatsApp platform. Every single question, I asked, every concern that I had, their customer service representative, Beam, was very helpful and transparent. Frankly, she’s the MVP for why I chose EDNA. I’m an American coming from another regional country and have been to Bangkok for my medical treatment at a premier hospital and, of course, as a tourist. What I hadn’t done was gone too deep into the more fringe-y wellness sector. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, so I had a LOT of questions for EDNA Wellness. Beam studied in Scandinavia so her English was better than the norm that I’d encountered previously – very clear and understandable. She was willing to answer any question that I threw at her clearly and transparently. I had the chance to do a video call with the doctor who would perform the injection. His name was Dr. Apisit. During the call, he was very clear about setting appropriate expectations with stem cell treatment. He did not promise that it would regenerate the cartilage in my knee or that I would regain 100% mobility. He was very realistic that stem cells would reduce inflammation and reduce pain, but that it was not a silver bullet and would not guarantee cartilage regrowth or regenerate anything in my knee. The possibility existed, of course, because the technology is not so thoroughly investigated, but I did appreciate the realistic approach of what they were offering. Even with the caveats, EDNA Wellness, time and again, ticked all of the boxes that I needed to feel comfortable. They had high scores from BookiMed.com. Not the end-all-be-all for research, but one solid data point. Their physicians are recommended on the same site (I had Dr. Apisit) They were transparent from the get-go and provided Dr. Apisit’s Thai Medical License number for my own verification. They offered a virtual consultation to talk about my MRI reports and treatment options. The treatment was ultrasound guided. They had incredible reviews on Google (I know, I know, can be influenced by bots…). They provided a sample medical screening document of their UC-MSCs that I would receive on the day of the treatment. Again, VERY responsive to questions and concerns. Price was less than what I thought it would be. I had budgeted about $5,000 for the procedure and the total was about $3,200. There was a point in January during my MRI visit in which I wanted to visit three clinics total: EDNA, Vega, and Soma. However, after I received the news that I had yet another tear in my meniscus, I was so disheartened and frustrated, that I canceled my appointments and took an earlier flight home. I should’ve visited them for research, but in the back of my mind, I knew I had already decided on EDNA. Vega and Soma seemed promising, but EDNA’s customer service and willingness to go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable sealed the deal. Day Before the Treatment The main airport, BKK, is a bit chaotic without anyone really directing foot traffic. I guessed on which line to join and made it through relatively quickly. Customs and immigration are easy. You just need to make sure you fill out the arrival card in advance. The ARL train is also very easy to use. Contactless payment with a credit card loaded onto my iPhone made it a breeze and like many Asian countries’ mass transit, it’s clean, safe and very modern. My hotel was close-ish to the Ramkhamhaeng station which was 4 stops on the train. The walk from the station was longer than I expected. The thing with my injury is that I can still walk about 2 miles a day and after that my leg starts to hurt pretty good. In retrospect, I probably should’ve ordered a taxi, but the weather wasn’t too hot, and I felt ok to walk. You could order a taxi from Grab or Bolt, similar to Uber. There are other hotels that are closer, too. Frankly, Beam at EDNA was so helpful that she could probably arrange a taxi to pick you up from the train station if needed. I stopped by the clinic on Friday to meet Beam and the other people working there. I also saw where the injection would take place and learned a little bit more about the services they offer. I can be prone to anxiety, so this was helpful “exposure therapy“ for me, which made sleeping the night before the procedure much better. Day of Treatment I had a light breakfast at the hotel, read, talked with my wife and kids virtually, and then walked the 8 minutes to EDNA Wellness. They welcomed me with smiling eyes (they wear masks), a cool compress and cold water. I filled out some paperwork and then had a chat with Dr. Apisit. I again asked a number of questions until I felt confident with the procedure and follow-up care. In the treatment room, I sat in a comfortable chair while the assistants applied a numbing cream to my leg. After 30 minutes for it to take effect, Dr. Apisit, Beam, and another assistant started the procedure. They showed me the vial of stem cells that would be injected into my knee. Dr. Apisit used the ultrasound machine to guide the injection. The injection itself took about 30 seconds max. You can watch a video of that here if you’re interested. Afterward they provided a selection of herbal teas and had me wait for 15 minutes for post-op observation. After that, I received some additional information for post treatment care and was on my way. From beginning to end, EDNA Wellness was on top of their game. I have nothing but good things to say about them. The last question remaining is – will it work? The answer remains to be seen, of course. I plan on revisiting this post in 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months time. Dr. Apisit said that I might feel pain reduction after 1 month, could start more intense physical therapy after 6 weeks, and could resume sports after 6 months (depending on how I feel). I’ll provide updates to this post with complete honesty and transparency. I’m not an influencer or trying to monetize. Just an aging athlete who wants to hold on a bit longer. Thanks for reading and hope this helps. Happy to answer questions. TL;DR: Middle-aged, longtime athlete whose body has started to fail. Meniscus tear in December 2024, surgery in April 2025, second tear in November 2025. Didn’t want a second surgery so went with stem cell treatment at EDNA Wellness in Bangkok, Thailand. $3,200 for the procedure and felt very comfortable with EDNA from beginning to end thanks in large part to their stellar customer service. Will update the post from time to time with progression notes. March 2026 Update: Hi all, wanted to post a quick 1 month update for those who are following this post. The first two weeks following the procedure were ok. I actually felt pretty good and the pain in my knee was subsiding. In fact, it felt so good, that I started to increase activity: went to a new Physio, tried to coach some pickleball, and was walking, swimming, and doing stationary bike. Unfortunately, this was too much load and my knee let me know. It swelled up to the size of a grapefruit and I was actually on crutches for a week! It's back to normal though and feeling better. I chatted with the folks at EDNA Wellness and they said that for sure I should reduce that level of activity and let the stem cells work for another 2 months before ramping up again. All told, I remain optimistic about the stem cell treatment. There is an occasional twinge of pain now and again if I turn a certain way or bend my knee at a certain angle. It is absolutely improved from where I started before stem cells. Without a doubt. I look forward to my next progress report in month 3. See you in May! submitted by /u/Burn-E190 to r/stemcells [link] [comments]
