Is it safe to use the led mask on the thyroid area? I have an underactive thyroid

There is growing evidence that PBM, especially using NIR light, may have beneficial effects on the thyroid gland, specifically in cases of thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism or autoimmune thyroiditis.

For any autoimmune disease, starting low and slow will allow you to see how your body responds. Rather than a full treatment time, users have benefited from reducing the initial treatment time to just one minute and then build up gradually from there. Titrating the 'dose' in this way allows time for the body to adjust.
