Thriyv: Aftercare Information Sheet – Red Light Therapy
Purpose
This guide outlines what to expect after your Red Light Therapy session and how to care for your skin and body to ensure safe, effective results. Please follow these instructions carefully.
Immediately After Treatment
Most clients feel relaxed and energised after treatment. You may experience mild warmth, temporary redness, or light fatigue, which typically resolve within a few hours. The skin may appear slightly flushed but should return to normal quickly. These effects are a sign of increased circulation and cellular activity.
Aftercare Advice
- Drink plenty of water to support hydration and optimise detoxification.
- Avoid strenuous exercise or heat-based therapies (such as saunas, steam rooms, or hot baths) for 24 hours.
- Do not apply strong active skincare products (such as retinoids, acids, or exfoliants) for 24 hours.
- Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 48 hours after treatment.
- Always wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.
- Continue with your normal skincare routine once any warmth or redness has settled.
Expected Reactions
Red Light Therapy is non-invasive and well tolerated. Mild warmth, slight fatigue, or a short-lived energising effect may occur. Some clients notice an improvement in sleep quality or mood over the following days. These responses are normal and indicate positive physiological adaptation.
Skin and Body Care Recommendations
- Maintain a healthy level of hydration before and after sessions.
- Support your results with a balanced diet and adequate rest.
- Gentle stretching or light movement can help enhance circulation post-session.
- Avoid applying self-tanning products or heavy oils immediately after treatment.
Possible Side Effects
Red Light Therapy has an excellent safety profile. Temporary redness, mild headache, or photosensitivity are rare but possible. If you experience prolonged discomfort, eye irritation, or an unexpected reaction, please contact the clinic.
When to Contact the Clinic
Contact Thriyv immediately if you experience:
- Persistent redness, swelling, or irritation lasting more than 48 hours.
- Any unusual discomfort or changes to your skin.
- Visual disturbance or eye discomfort following treatment.

Results and Ongoing Care
Results are cumulative. With regular sessions, clients often notice improvements in skin tone, recovery speed, energy, and overall wellbeing. Consistency is key to maintaining benefits. Your Thriyv clinician will guide you on the best maintenance schedule for your goals.
