Is Novaa Red Light Therapy safe and are there any side effects?

Yes, Novaa Red Light Therapy is safe to use at home. Our devices are designed with the highest standards of safety, using medical-grade materials that are durable and non-toxic. Red light therapy is non-invasive and supported by over 3,000 clinical studies validating its safety and effectiveness.

While there are no known long-term negative side effects, here are a few considerations to ensure safe and effective use:

Skin Sensitivity: Some users may experience mild redness or irritation, especially with overuse or if they have sensitive skin. To avoid this, follow the recommended session times and instructions.
Skin Dryness or Tightness: If your skin feels dry after a session, applying moisturizer can help.
Temporary Symptoms: Occasionally, users may notice slight redness or mild discomfort as part of the natural healing process.

Safety Tips:

Use the device as directed, limiting sessions to 10–20 minutes per area, 3–5 times a week.
Avoid prolonged exposure or placing the device too close to the skin to prevent overheating.
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, taking photosensitizing medications, or have a history of skin cancer, consult a healthcare provider before starting therapy.
