Temporary redness increase with red light therapy?

I tried searching the group but didn’t see anything specifically about this question (if you know of a previous post let me know!)

I just got a red light therapy max (Omnilux) at the recommendation of my dermatologist. My skin has been in a great place the last few months but she said red light can be a non irritating anti aging method and I wanted to give it a try.

Anyway, I tried it for the first time tonight and it made my skin flush a lot afterward. I haven’t really had flushing the last few months so this was a bit alarming. I read this can be a normal, temporary side effect, but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced and if it was truly temporary and things got better the more you used it. I am very patient and don’t mind waiting for results, but I also don’t want to cause skin barrier damage after finally getting my skin into a good place 😭 my lips and eyes felt sooo dry afterward.

TLDR: Did you experience redness with red light therapy and what were the long term results?

Also side note, how on earth are people reading books with these masks on??? The lights were so bright I couldn’t keep my eyes open without getting a headache lol.
