Hi all,
I finally went for a facial yesterday after a very long time - a much needed break from parenting two small children, and much needed now that I'm 42 with a lot of signs of ageing.
I have never tried any kind of fancy add-ons like micro currents, peels, etc, so when the facialist suggested LED treatment I was keen. Just before she turned it on she warned me it would be very bright even with my eyes closed and covered, however nothing could have prepared me for how bright it was. For some reason I lay there for four minutes until I finally asked her to turn it off, half a minute early. She kept assuring me it was safe, and that there was no evidence it causes eye damage.
However - I feel like my vision has been affected, there is just a kind of 'brightness' to everything and vision in the dark is a bit weird. I am so upset - I am an artist, and I would never do anything to compromise my (already a bit average) vision. A facial treatment was never something I expected to be dangerous.
Has anyone experienced this? I am hoping for reassurance! I have suffered severe health anxiety in the past which led to a breakdown so I work hard to keep my worrying to a minimum but this is challenging me.
