Regarding pain, I’ve been reading a lot about Red Light Therapy and how it stimulates blood cells and helps with all sorts of ailments. It could be snake oil (meaning fake) but I’ve listened to some doctors on podcasts claiming it’s real and sharing their results. I finally bought a light on Amazon for about $150 (they have larger lights covering larger areas for more money—I figure the smaller one is worth a try for me)—but I’m not actually experiencing any pain—my purpose is more cosmetic healing my hands peeling. I’ll report after I try four weeks of treatment with the light.
