The itching stopped within 2 weeks. By week 8 my hands looked completely normal again. Still cannot believe it worked this fast after years of failed topical steroids.
Tried dupilumab, methotrexate, everything. RLT plus proper moisturising gave me better results than any prescription. My dermatologist was genuinely surprised.
My dyshidrotic hand blisters had destroyed my confidence. Three months of daily RLT plus cotton gloves at night and my hands are finally usable again without constant pain.
The coin-shaped patches on my arms and legs had been there for 2 years. 10 weeks of consistent RLT and they are gone. My only regret is not trying this sooner.
My face had been breaking out in eczema patches for the last year and I was avoiding photos completely. 6 weeks of 10-minute sessions and I look like myself again.

What the research actually says
Three of the strongest findings from peer-reviewed dermatology literature.
“In the 87-patient AD-Blue trial, blue light at 415 and 450nm significantly reduced itch and eczema severity versus sham treatment.”
“A small 830nm LED study reported roughly 79% less itching and 71% improvement in skin eruption, with no side effects.”
“Non-UV light therapy shows positive evidence of efficacy for atopic dermatitis, though studies remain limited and heterogeneous.”
