The only Side effect that is mention Regarding Light Therapy is apparently exposing ourself to SAD Light might Reduce (A little) the Skin Light Absorption from our skin exposed. But it’s the only the side effect explain and only a little one.
Cause the Skin of our Face is adapting slowly to the Led Light, Stopping to expose ourself to a Sad Light and then slowly re-adapt ourself to the Sun Light will probably avoid this Side Effect.
Something to remember is SAD Light, Clock Light, Vitamin D Supplement, can help us regarding Light therapy. But remember in any case it will never replace completely Sun Exposure basically going outside walking feeling the fresh Air and Oxygen will be missing in some way. Light Therapy is Complementary not replacing Sun Light Exposure.
SAD Light and Light Therapy are quite popular in Northern Countries part of the world at the North Pole cause the Sun is missing enlightenment during 6 months of the year. Scandinavian and Northern European countries are also known to Measure Happiness as “PIB”. Helping to mesure and improve happiness for the population.
Something good to know also Regarding Sun Light Exposition is we might think going in Southern Country is much more advantageous cause of Enlightenment of the Southern country. Of course Enlightenment will be better but in Southern Countries population have also Vitamin D deficiency.
Southern Country are known to have very important amount of population with lack of Vitamin D, cause of the hot temperature people cannot afford to go so much outside. So it’s practically the same as Nothern Countries in the End.
Something also important to know is “Sad Light“, “Light Therapy” are different from “UV Light” exposure. U.V light is too strong in term of exposition and increase Risk of Skin Cancer.
UV Light Exposure for the Body can be seen as Sun Capital Exposure. During our life we have sort of Sun Capital and more we expose ourself more this Sun Capital get reduce until risk of Cancer. it’s Because the Skin get Damaged with Time Slowly.
In any case do not forget to do 30 Minutes of walk Every Day. And do not forget to where Sun Glasses or Sun Cream in Summer if you are exposing yourself.
The Monty Python were saying in their movie’s keep “Looking to the bright side of life“. That’s quite funny Idiom. Because it’s exactly that, Light therapy is helping a lot in this direction. You will see only Positive change there is no Side Negative effect to this really. Do not hesitate to discuss about it with your Doctor.
And Remember try to avoid “UV Light” but Keep “Sad Light” it will help you to stay positive, reducing Stress and Anxiety
