Facial exercises to pair with red light therapy for stronger lift, faster repair, and better fefinition

Facial exercises to pair with red light therapy for stronger lift, faster repair, and better fefinition

Red light therapy boosts collagen, energizes cells, and improves circulation. When you add simple facial exercises while you are in front of your red light panel, you increase muscle activation, open micro-channels, and guide the light deeper into the tissue. This helps you get better results from every session.

This routine also includes applying Young Goose’s LADR Serum before you begin. We recommend it because its light-activated DNA repair technology, NAD+ APEX™, Spiruline AP™, and pro-collagen support ingredients make the skin more responsive to red light. The serum acts as a primer that enhances cellular repair, improves how the skin absorbs light, and strengthens the collagen-building signals triggered by your device.

If you use a full-face LED mask instead of a panel, you cannot move freely. In that case, perform the exercises first, apply LADR Serum, then put on the mask and let the light work on the activated tissue.

Below is the full routine.

Step 1: Prep + LADR Serum (Before Your Session)

Apply Young Goose’s LADR Serum before using your red light panel. You aren’t relying on the serum alone — you’re activating its full potential through movement and light exposure.

Why LADR Belongs in This Routine

LADR is built for light pairing. It includes:

  • DNA Repair Photosomes that activate under light

  • NAD+ APEX™ to raise cellular energy and repair capacity

  • Spiruline AP™ to broaden and intensify light absorption

  • Pro-collagen peptides & ergothioneine for firmness and mitochondrial support

  • CelVio Spermidine™ to improve turnover and recycling

This means your exercises + red light + serum create a three-layer stimulation: movement, energy, and repair.

How to Prep:

  1. Cleanse.

  2. Apply LADR (1–2 pumps).

  3. Wait 1–2 minutes to absorb.

  4. Position yourself in front of your red-light panel (6–12 inches away).

Panel users: Do exercises during the light session.

Mask users: Do exercises before putting the mask on.

Step 2: Activation Warm-Up (Done While Facing the Panel) — 1 minute

These open circulation and prepare the skin to use light more effectively.

1. Cheek Lift Glide

  • Lift your cheeks toward your temples with light fingertip guidance.

  • Release with control.

  • Repeat 10 times.

2. Neck-Length Breathing

  • Inhale for four counts.

  • Exhale for six while lengthening your neck.

  • Repeat 8 times.

Why during red light:

More blood flow = more oxygen + more NAD availability during illumination.

Step 3: Precision Muscle Work (During the Panel Session) — 2 minutes

These help guide the light into active muscle tissue. You stay directly in front of the panel while moving slowly and intentionally.

1. Micro-Smile Muscle Lift

  • Lift the mouth corners a few millimeters.

  • Hold for 2 seconds.

  • Repeat 10 times.

2. Submental Scoop (Double-Chin Area)

  • Place a finger under the chin.

  • Lift the tissue upward without tilting your head.

  • Repeat 10 times.

3. Brow Line Activation

  • Lift the brows without lifting the forehead.

  • Repeat 8–10 times.

Why during red light:

Active muscles draw in more ATP production. Red light thrives in active environments.

Step 4: Lymph Flow + Decompression (Still in Front of the Panel) — 1 minute

These movements help reduce puffiness and increase contour refinement while the light keeps circulation high.

1. Jawline Sweep

  • Glide from chin to ears for 30 seconds.

2. Under-Chin Drainage

  • Sweep downward under the chin and along the neck.

  • Repeat for 20 seconds.

Why during red light:

Light encourages vascular dilation; lymph movement becomes more efficient.

Step 5: Red Light Finishing Set (Panel On) — 1 minute

This step reinforces lift and better alignment so the skin remodels upward, not downward.

1. Chin Glide Lift

  • Slide chin backward to lengthen your neck.

  • Hold for 3 seconds.

  • Repeat 6 times.

2. Cheek Anchor Hold

  • Lightly lift the cheekbones toward the temples.

  • Hold 10 seconds.

  • Repeat 3 times.

Why during red light:

Posture and micro-activations guide collagen fibers toward upward structure.

Step 6: Repeat Schedule

Use this full sequence:

  • 2–3 times per week with your red light panel

  • LADR can be used daily, even with normal daylight exposure

  • If using a mask:

    1. Do the exercises

    2. Apply LADR

    3. Put on the mask
